New Power Rankings Out

[MadHatter]

Shutdown Corner #3.....behind Seattle and Denver

3. Carolina Panthers (9-3, LW: 4)
I like teams that blow out every bad team they play. The Panthers have done that consistently, at least since Week 4.

 

 

 

FoxSports #2...behind only Seattle

2 Panthers 9-3 1 2/28

Talk about domination. The Panthers had twice as many first downs, more than double the total offense and held the Bucs to just one third down conversion on the day.

 

 

 

CBS Sporst #5....they have NE at #3 and Saints at #4.  It is Prisco...so what do you expect.

  They are rolling heading into next Sunday's big game with the Saints. Cam Newton is getting it done.

 

 

 

SideLionReport....#4 behind Seattle, Denver, and NE

4 Carolina Panthers (9-3) ▲1

Another week, another win. Ho-hum. They’re not even thinking “wildcard spot” anymore. They’re thinking about overtaking the Saints and earning a first-round bye. With way they’re playing right now, they can.

 

 

BearGogglesOn.....#3 behind Seattle and Denver

3. Carolina Panthers (9-3) (5) Big trip to New Orleans with first place in the NFC South on the line in the first of two against the Saints.

Seems about right.

i'm not surprised at all. i expect most to have us at number three and the only two teams ahead of us consistently being the seahawks and the broncos.

Respectable spots in the rankings. Bring on the Saints!

[Jackofalltrades]

Peter King had us at 5 yesterday in MMQB.

[MadHatter]

Dissagree that we should be behind NE....but the rest are OK by me.

[TheRumGone]

so are we elite yet?

[SpeedOFLight]

so are we elite yet?

 

I believe elite is just a mindset. The way our guys are talking like they feel they can't be beat. That is good enough for me. Winning brings confidence and that's what we have right now.

it was sarcasm. because everyone doubts us.

 

we are a top 3 - top 5 team. we are elite and it has to do with our mindset.

3 Panthers 9-3 +2 Last Week: 5

Cam Newton's 56-yard scramble in the first quarter Sunday was his longest career scramble and the second-longest rush of his career (72 yards, Week 14 2012 vs Falcons).

[MadHatter]

It will be ugly if we lose Sunday.

 

Broncos lose to the Patriots and they do not drop....Patriots lose to us and they do not drop.  If we lose, I will bet you we drop 6-7 spots.

PFT:

 

 

2. Panthers (9-3; No. 3): Two games against the Saints are all that’s standing in the way of an NFC South title and a playoff bye.
