Is there anything preventing us from being a Super Bowl team?

[Sam Mills Fan]

At least on talk radio, I'm hearing a lot of people talking about a letdown this week. I would have agreed that was possible even a couple of weeks ago, but the way the Panthers have taken care of business against both bad and great teams, I'm finally a believer that this team has turned the corner and the old ways we used to do thinks don't matter. Great QB, Super Bowl defense, great coaching staff (!), fantastic short yardage team. Great mix of veteran leadership and young players that don't know any better.

 

So let me ask you: looking at the other top teams in the league, is there any that you see having a better all-around team and coaching staff than we do? Which ones? And if you can't think of any that have a significant advantage over us, why do you think this team isn't a Super Bowl team if that's what you think?

Broncos and Seattle are the class of the NFL IMO then the Panthers, Saints, and Chiefs right after. I do feel like we can be all of these teams.

Yes, nothing says negativity like a thread about how we're a likely Super Bowl team.

We are only guaranteed at least a 7-9 season right now.  Lets see how we do over the next 6 games before proclaiming us a super bowl team.  In addition to other teams, there are still factors like injuries to key players which we have skirted for the most part this year.  Hopefully that continues and Johnson makes it back soon.  Lets make the playoffs first.

This is the very opposite of a negative post.

Broncos: Not an impressive TEAM at all outside of Peyton Manning

Seahawks: Poor offensive line, would have beaten them if DeAngelo had just secured the ball

Yeah CJ is our 2nd most important player on our D.

The only thing preventing us from being a superbowl team is not being in the superbowl.

TBH I am not thinking about a SB appearance and I hope the team is only thinking about Miami.

Yeah but the problem is the Broncos do have Manning and if we were to play Seattle in the playoffs it'll be in Seattle tho I do believe we can win in Seattle.

I believe Seattle's stadium may be what stands between us and the Super Bowl. That will be a tough task if that's how it pans out.

two teams scare me. 

 

seattle playing in seattle. i don't like that at all, esp. during the playoffs. if we play them at home again or if we were to play them on a neutral field, i think we win. 

 

the broncos also scare me but our defense should scare them as well. i think that game could be pretty evenly matched, tbh. it's just.  team that if things go wrong for us it could really turn ugly in a hurry.

No team or stadium scares me.  As some pundits have said, our game travels.

 

I think we can beat Seattle in Seattle and New Orleans in the dome.  Won't be easy, but if we continue to be efficient and have these long sustained drives and keep playing great defense, we can beat anyone anywhere
