Keep this fact drilled in your mind...

The last two times the Panthers went 3-0, they ended up in the Superbowl.... 

Now I don't want to get hopes up but if this team can keep on the pedal and improve (especially on the offensive line) I can see a deep playoff run. I know it sucks losing CMC (and hopefully it's just for a few games) but we still have Robbie and DJ and I have high hopes for Marshall as well as the Arnold/Tremble TE combo. 

Let's prove these doubters wrong!

I can agree with that.  We have great players that, if coached well, can step up.

I really hope to see tremble on the field more.

It's not like the NFC is unsurmountable.  

Wilson is proving he can't carry the whole org on his shoulders for Seattle 

Rodgers and GB are spotty at best and not some juggernaut anymore

And TB w/TB can beat anyone, but has shown they can get beat against the right defense.

It is AZ and LAR that are suddenly the cream.  But I think AZ is quite beatable.  The Rams are the tough ones.

I see no reason why we can't compete for the SB this year, even with the OL situation.

Really anything that happens this year is gravy. Next year and the following years are when we really put a chokehold on the NFC.

This Dallas game will be telling.  If we go to their place and win this game this Panthers team is better than I think.  I think we lose this one by a few scores.

They lost by 2 to the Bucs and beat the Chargers who just beat KC on the road today.  This game will be super tough without CMC

Yeah I’m really interested how they look against philly

TRUST THE PROCESS

if Rhule can pull off a deep run in the playoffs in his 2nd year of a rebuild, it should throw tons of support into the argument that what he did at Temple and Baylor weren't flukes - and Tepper may have gotten the deal/steal of the century with that hire.

Both those teams had a top 5 oline.

We are…what…31?

It just doesn’t work like that. Weapons don’t matter cmc or no cmc. The defense is legit, but the oline will be exposed vs. competitive teams.

I only hope Darnold stays healthy for next year and they attempt to fix it.

If Rhule goes deep in the playoffs with the worst oline in the NFL and zero special teams, without a HOF qb, he will be smashing NFL records that have held for decades and should truly be considered the future and one hell of a coach.

If we pull off a deep playoff run this season, that will be so far ahead of schedule and with such an unbelievably young core that we might be a power for a long time.

Actually, Chuba came in and played really well Thursday night. If he can play like that the next couple of games or so we should be fine.

AZ is annually extremely overated.

They look good at times and then look unusually god awful. Then when they are awful, they get defended all to hell. THEN wind up 7-9 (I guess 8-9 this year) at best, while still being defended as a "potential powerhouse" team.

I admit the 2015's offensive line was good (with the exception of Remmers) but that season started with question marks because we didn't know what Oher had left and Norwell was a undrafted free agent. Plus, it didn't hurt having one of the most athletic QBs at the time.

03's offensive line was serviceable at best. The only star was Jordan Gross and the rest were a 6 round pick and veterans.

I hope this year's line will surprise us but we won't know until we face some top tier defenses.
