Car - 20 Vs NO - 20

[zeroburrito]

The Saints don't make mistakes!

no kidding. what a stand there.

You make an awful amount of assumptions. Carolina is mediocre not the dregs of the league.

Maybe they were 0-3 because they played three better teams to start the year?

Who cares? We're not talking about whether Carolina is the worst team in the league or not. Your initial post looked a lot like someone trying refute the notion that Dallas hasn't won a lot of games against good teams. Mediocre doesn't do that.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

haha tie game

 

[Hoofbite]

Carolina is pretty garbage at tackling.

[zeroburrito]

panthers gonna have to somehow pass the ball without throwing interceptions to win this.

Again you're making assumptions.

Just because I think x/= a doesn't mean that x=b.

I think you fail to understand this elementary concept.

So what were you saying in your initial post?

Carolina is not a "crap" team. They are about league average.

So why'd you throw the part about Dallas beating them in there?

It was referential to the notion that Carolina was one of the worst teams in the league, thereby devaluing what the Cowboys have done so far.

This does not mean I'm refuting the notion we have not beat a lot of good teams. It is saying that the amount of bad teams we've beaten is lesser than previously assumed by many. (HH31 said as much in this very thread, and others have said so as well. Carolina beat Arizona and has hung with Atlanta and New Orleans. This demonstrates they are not a "crap" team. They are average.)

Is the difference between "bad" and "mediocre" against 1 team so great that its really changes that "opponent" perception over the course of half a season?

I don't think it does.

Meanwhile, possibly one of the worst challenges ever. Burned 2 timeouts on it.l

 

[The30YardSlant]

Yeah, I can.

Carolina is not as bad as people want to make them out to be.

They were at the time

To me it doesn't. I'm just making an observation

No. They lost to three pretty good teams.

Not everybody swings like a pendulum from week to week based on the week's events

 

[zeroburrito]

they are a slightly below average team. they aren't bad.

 

[The30YardSlant]

They got destroyed by two good teams, barely lost to us, then barely beat the two worst teams in football, and got demolished by the Bills until finally coming up with an impressive win last week.

They were awful when they played us, and continued to be awful until the last two weeks

They had a chance to tie the game vs Atlanta on the last play.

Atlanta winning by 8 = destroyed.

Dallas winning by 14 = barely lost.

Double standard, anyone?

 

[zeroburrito]

how in the world is this team getting all of these turnovers? my lord. these have to even out somehow.

 

[Biggems]

burrito, look at the history of the franchise....i think they are do, dont you?

Carolina deserves to lose.....they are moving the ball nicely on the ground....then they start passing and get basically incompletions and fumbles by Delhomme

 

[Silverstar]

NO - 30
CAR - 20


If anyone cares....
