I can already see the hate

[pantherdad]

 New power rankings....smh

[coralreefer_1]

when you search for hate...you will surely find it! Why oh why do so many here lube themselves in the inferiority complex that is the Panthers and national media not praising us?

Tbf they moved us up 12

[Cary Kollins]

seeing other power rankings having us as high as seven

 

[Growl]

There is not a force on earth that would make ESPN put a "lowly" defensive team like the Panthers above a fantasy pass machine like new orleans and atlanta until they absolutely have to.

 

Next week you can make them have to.

No, they moved us up 1 . . . we were 12th, now we're 11th.

In their defense, we only beat the Cowboys.....

We're always at our best when they don't believe in us. 

Let's face it, neither Philly nor Atlanta looked good in the season opener, but both are ranked in the top 10 for almost every power rankings. Right now the rankings are all based in belief, not actual performance.

how is splitting with the falcons getting owned?

[Newtcase]

What's the issue?  I'm still not convinced we're better than any of the teams ahead of us, especially considering the injuries we suffered Sunday.  Our defense will keep us in games all year but the offense is going to be up and down.  Shaky line, Olsen injured again, slightly different supporting cast, otherwise it's 2017 on repeat.

In our defense, we didn't lose and didn't lose to Tampa at home. Ryan Fitzmagic.
