Week 13 Power Rankings...prepare for it

[Chaos]

There will be sports writers who stay up all night tonight trying to pen the perfect explanation for how the Panthers can still be 2nd, despite the perfect record.  It's killing some of them that they will ultimately find no choice but to put us at #1.

And their agony gives me great pleasure.

LOL nice one OP!

The more they shat on them, the more rage and motivation they give them. Rank us 3rd and keep the "worst undefeated narrative" going you gonads.

#1: Us

#2 - #32: Teams that want to be us

I'm sure we'll be considered a plucky #4 in most rankings....

[aussiePanther]

Arizona will be #1 in a few and Bengals might be above us in one or two.

 

But let's face it, they hate us cuz they ain't us.

Stop with the insecurity. Confidence is strength, and it's contagious. 

Can they/we have a lil humor? LOL

BR already has us as their number 1 team in their PR's.

Does anyone really care?  Look at the margin of victory.  Sure, you can go out and win a game, but how big are the wins.  That's much more telling.  If someone puts another team above us, that's fine.  We'll just keep proving them wrong.

Sadly, it's because we're the Carolina Panthers, a small market NFL teams from a basketball state.  The old prejudices never go away.  It's also because Cam isn't doing things the way other "real" QBs do it.  He dances, he has fun, he is a special player that they don't like because they want grumpy old white men to be their  NFL QBs.

They can keep it.  Power rankings prior to the final whistle of the super bowl are pointless exercises in entertainment.  I should have my 3 year old do a power ranking.  Would that prove anything more than what a writer has to say?

Really doesn't matter. Just keep winning.

my body is ready

Sound fundamental football. Limited mistakes, relatively healthy. Undefeated. And a true sports icon on the team.

Yeah, I can see how we are not number one. But so what? This Panther team isn't asking for anything, they're taking.

We've now gone an hour and 15 minutes on Sportscenter with no segment about is being the only undefeated team. Panthers didn't even make their Ten @ 10, which is there segment that focuses on the top 10 story lines of the NFL.  This is so awesome.  National Media is trying so hard to ignore us.
