1) Better than record indicates - loss to two good teams by less than 6 points total

 

2) Cam gets hotter as season goes on - and he's pretty stinking hot right now

 

3) Managable schedule - 2 falcons, 1 bucs, AFC east

Seattle and...?

Bufflalo was pretty decent when we played them. You have to realize that they are without their starting QB now but had him when they played us. Our record should be better by the last waning minutes we let it slip away

Seattle and...?

he was referring to the bills... who without the injuries would probably win their division easily

Seattle and...?

 

You know exactly who they are referring to.  Until Manuel went down, Buffalo was on the rise.  I assume that when he comes back they will pick up where they left off.

Over the Pats? Maybe they could, but that wouldn't be a sure thing by any means.

Buffalo is not a good team, with or without injuries.

[The Huddler]

We could very well be un defeated right now.

We know what happend at baffalo, with seattle. Could have won bith with the subtraction of two plays total.

At Arizona, we had multiple chances to put the game away. Drops drops drops. We would have went up on them, helping our momentum, depleting theirs.

We have a good team folks. 11-5 10-6 here we come. Lookin at you saints, yall can have the wildcard spot, if that.

People need to slow their roll on all this playoff talk. We need to win Sunday. Then we have the 9ers and Pats. Those results will determine what type of playoffs talk we should be having.

Disagree, Buffalo early in the season and at home. Buffalo on the road is a different story.

[Captain Morgan]

This is the same team that would be 5-2   if we had beat Seattle like we should have.

 

If we were 5-2 everyone would be talking about us.

 

We really needed that win.

 

but, it's the same players.

[SevenSixes]

As far as our schedule is concerned, I'm not giving the 9ers or the Saints anything.

As well as we are playing, I think the 9ers game is 50/50 at worse and I don't see the Saints sweeping us.

 

I know the fan in me is clawing out, but I think we could go 13 - 3.

Let the Saints fans worry about a wildcard, the playoffs are going to go through Carolina :)

Seattle: Was a very evenly matched game.

Buffalo: As I said, we were on the road and playing a Buffalo team early in the season. And the old Rivera of not finishing off an opponent with a 1st down.

The Arizona game is much like what happened to the Bengals last night. Turnovers/sloppy play ON THE ROAD and if you let a 'lesser' team hang around you can lose.

 

And this is the Panthers.....even under Fox (2002) and Seifert (2001) this team had the most amazing losses. So I will never underestimate any Panther opponent ever. We need to beat down Atlanta early to demoralize them.
