Why act like a deer in headlights? Patience, Kemo Sabe.

I love it when people write book-long posts like this.

Didn't reeeeeead.

I love it when people take the time to write a post stating that they didn't take the time to read a post. You realize that if brevity is your goal, the "back" button is a lot quicker to reach than typing out a sentence or two and clicking "add reply"?

Everyone knows that first game was a smokescreen.

Rome wasnt built in a day....but in today's NFL you can build a playoff team in 2 years

Kalil should have saved that Super Bowl Ad for next year apparently!!

Go back and look at the second year that Rivera has worked with a defense and see how they ranked. Then relax about this year, it will be much better than last.

this is year 2 of Rivera. No reason Carolina shouldnt be ready to be a postseason team in year 2.

if we aren't, it is b/c we are doing enough right. not b/c there hasn't been enough time.

I'm still trying to understand the deer in headlights analogy....

All the 'excitement' everyone buzzed that the players had was pre training camp when they realized, wait a second, we didn't actually do anything to improve.

Oh god, this again. Jesus christ, we heard the same thing last year.

yeah and last year we went from the worst offense in the league to top five.

people have forgotten the misery of the 2010 season and the miraculous turnaround the 2011 season was. give it a little time, be patient. the offense's turnaround can and will happen on defense.

agreed 100%. who would have thought that we would have had that turnaround? anyone saying that we would have had even a top 15 offense last year would have been laughed out of the huddle with the scoffers saying the exact same things they are saying now..."we haven't seen that happen in years so why should we believe anything different? they didn't pick the guy i think they should have. they didn't do the FA activity i think they should have. i'm just going to go under the safe assumption that nothing is going to change."
