Cards and Panthers, welcome to the world of the hunted. You guys were the plucky under dogs who made it big last year, both of you outlasted the back to back NFC Champs last year.

This year, your not sneaking up on anyone. Quite the opposite, you get to feel what its like to get everyones best shot. Welcome to dealing with what the Hawks have been dealing with since we won the ship.

Also, your players are in commercials, getting paid, reading press clippings.....

true, to a degree

I wouldn't say the Panthers outlasted Seattle last year...outlasted implies sneaking past Seattle. if Minnesota had made the chip shot field goal, than yeah.


Carolina looked awful yesterday, but unlike most of the fanbase I'm not freaking out. They lost to Denver by a missed field goal, in Denver. And Minnesota could very well be the class of the NFC at this point in time. Their defense looks like the best in the league right now. The next three games will really show you what Carolina is about this year.

Now Arizona? I didn't see the game yesterday but it appears their ship may have sailed.

Carolina got disected at home. The book maybe out on Newton. Interesting to see how he bounces back.

This forum cracks me up sometimes. "The book may be out on Newton," what does that eve mean. So he lost a game or two this season, big deal. Was the book out on RW last year when we started 0-2? No. We just lost a couple tough games.

Newton and the offense will be fine. I think their main worries are their defense isn't nearly as strong as last year, and they have a big hole at RB with Stewart out.

But to say the Panthers are falling apart and the league has Cam figured out is completely premature only 3 games into the season.

I simply meant that the book is out on how to attack him. JUST like we all know the book on how to attack our defense. It's not a derogatory term, or meant to diminish him. But in 3 of his last 5 games he's been subpar per the standard he set for himself last year while winning the MVP

Good post. I remember in 2013 after an awful 2nd half in Arizona lead to a 1-3 start, many uninformed were calling Cam a bust and I said I wouldn't trade him for anyone. Like that 2013 Panthers/Cardinals game, Cam was amazing in the first half yesterday and they should have been up two or three scores at the break. They weren't, and that's part of the game. And they were whipped in the 2nd half, and that's part of the game. But Cam isn't going anywhere.

I'm not discounting Carolina, or Arizona yet, because I think both of these teams get it sorted out, but it is sure weird how they both have gotten off to a very slow start.

I would feel like whole conference would have been wide open if it were not for the Vikes. Could they be for real?

Their defense is for sure. But man, I just can't seem to say "Super Bowl QB Sam Bradford".

I know, but defense wins championships, and they look unbelievable. All SB has to do is not crap the bed, and he has a shot at winning every game.
