Quick reminder about the Panthers

[Nav22]

I understand where some of the negativity comes from. Beating a 1-4 team by 5 points doesn't sound like much, right? I'll admit I wasn't initially thrilled with the overall performance myself (other than the $500 I won thanks to Bailey's spread-covering 4th field goal), but let's take a closer look at the Panthers 2012 season...

Week 1... lost at Tampa Bay 16-10.

Week 2... won vs New Orleans 35-27.

Week 3... lost vs New York Giants 36-7, their only bad loss this year.

Week 4... lost at Atlanta 30-28.

Week 5... lost vs Seattle 16-12.

Week 6... bye.


They were 1-4 entering the game but they were only terrible in one of those losses. Their loss to Dallas was their 3rd straight game in which they lost by 5 points or less vs a team with a winning record. AND they had a bye week to prepare for us.

The standings can be deceiving but Carolina is no patsy. Ask the 6-0 Falcons. They'll compete all year and will beat some playoff-caliber teams.

So I'll take the W with a smile. :starspin Bring on the Giants.

I get where you are coming from and a win is a win, but...since when is 2-3 a winning record?

Whoops, my mistake. Well, we'd have had a winning record if Bailey made the 51-yarder last week.

I knew by reading the title what this thread would hold.
