On defense...it's a stretch, though I can see this D being better heading down the road.

I hope you’re right. Would bode well for the late battles against the Saints

Cam wasn’t disagreeing.  He just didn’t want to throw his past teammmates under the bus.  It’s why he never directly answers like “is this your best group of WRs?” or like whenever they ask him about his OLs.

He knows better.

Cams hometown is less important than sticking it to the Falcons.... winning our first superbowl in their anus stadium? Priceless.

Panthers only faced 4 winning teams that year. This years schedule is much harder.

Great point. The one time we ran into a real D we were manhadled. 2015 was not a tough team because we spanked some weak teams in the second half of the season. 2018 schedule is harder and we will be a tougher team come playoff time

Talent wise - 2015.  They were just playing with confidence.  That being said, after tonight, we may see this team kick it into overdrive if they pull out a win.  This is the biggest game of the entire season that doesn't involve New Orleans.

Beating the Steelers will give me belief that this team can beat New Orleans though.

I think the 2018 team has a chance to be better than the 2015 team. The 2018 team is coming out of this season battle tested no matter what. In 2015, the Saints, Falcons, and Bucs were garbage teams. In 2018, the NFC South is still the best division in the NFL. The Bucs have a great offense, the Falcons still have a competitive squad despite getting wrecked by injuries, and the Saints are probably the best team in the NFC right now. If the Panthers win the division and beat the Saints at the end of the season, I have no doubt the Panthers will be in the Superbowl. They could have been a Superbowl team in 2017 if they could have just beat the Saints.

Still think 1996 was our best defense. #SaltAndPepper

How about we worry about tonight b/c if we lose, all of you will change your tone on how good we are and will want rivera out again and say we should tank for a high draft pick.

Let you know at midnight.

I think the 2018 team is better, and 2018 is a tougher schedule so it's hard to compare.  How the season turns out is anyone's guess but I feel more confident in the 2018 product over the past few games.

Our offense is more spread out and our OC is doing things that isn't easy to figure out and stop.  I feel the defense has taken a few steps back but so far it's enough.

We actually had a pass defense , Norman locked up the #1 and we were able to stop thepass .whoever says donte is better then 2015 Norman is insane . Dante is a beast but he ain't no lock down cb
