One of the Greatest Teams All Time?


Cat

Recommended Posts

When we win the SB the 2015 Carolina Panthers will be 18-1 Super Bowl champions. Only the 3rd team all time to do this. Mike and Mike were talking about that this morning. They didn't really seem on board, Golic less so because we don't possess the greatest offense or defense of all time (which is silly because it's greatest team not greatest offense or defense).

I think we are incredibly balanced team. We lead the league in points differential and we beat at some point almost every team in the NFC playoffs many by double digits. However I doubt many ever consider  the Panthers one because we are a small town southern team. If this team played in NYC or Chicago there would have been talk of GOAT months ago. 

Thoughts?

your second biggest mistake was automatically assuming the sb will be a coronation. your biggest mistake was listening to mike and mike.

So no thoughts, just silly trolling. Jesus this board has really gotten terrible.

the panthers aren't going to be considered one of the best teams of all time because they really have no dominant identity to them. the 1984 49ers and 1996 packers, teams that dominated through the year and won through their balance are met with a rather tepid response by football historians and fanatics alike, and are overlooked in favor of teams with an iconic image like the 85 bears and their defense, 72 dolphins and their W column, and the steel curtain steelers when it comes to "best team ever" arguments.

panthers may have the dab and the attitude resembling the 85 bears, as well as the 15 wins, but they dont have the mind blowing stats like two straight playoff shutouts. nor do they have the amount of hall of famers on a single team like the 70s steelers. they are just a solid team that doesn't do anything wrong, and that doesn't sell nfl films.

We'll definitely be in the discussion. I compare us to the 85 Bears. Lotta parallels. Obviously there's Rivera, the record, stifling defense, great run game, etc. biggest difference is our QB and offense overall is much better. 

So yea, no way we're not in the discussion. #1 offense, top 5 or 10 defense, dominated turnover stats, etc etc etc.

I was born the same year as the Superbowl. I have always loved and watched as many games as I could. I have saw many great games and great players. The only reason I like stats is they are nice to look at after season is over and I'm bored. I am a huge Panthers homer and always will be. With all that said and taking off my homer glasses I can say this. The Panthers in the Cardinals game was one of the best teams I've ever saw.

The 1967-68 Green Bay Packers are considered to be two of the greatest teams ever in NFL history. Guess where they play ?

We'll be alright.

The thing about this team that makes it great is, when it's firing on all cylinders, it just relentlessly dismantles and annihilates anything in its way. Nobody in the league matches up to us when we play like we did against Arizona or the 1st half against Seattle. A 13-3 team and a team that had made the last two superbowls and we made them look like the Cleveland Browns.

Your question is confusing me can you sum it up with a music video? Lol. (Love your vids) ;-). If you mean which Superbowl year I was born in, the very first ever. Lol

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
