That table of teams that have scored 80 pts over a 4 game period while winning by a margin of at least 14 points in all those games made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside... 

 

I know Tampa and Minnesota are bad teams, but ask Seattle how easy it was to beat Tampa and ask Dallas how easy it was to beat Minnesota. It's one thing to beat bad teams, but we're not just beating bad teams - we're blowing them out. 

 

I have a really good feeling about the 49ers game, think we match up well with them and Ginn will be able to give us some tips on their offense. 

 

I also have a REALLY good feeling about the Pats game, they've got a winning record but they've been squeezing by their opponents in most of those wins and Pittsburgh is a crap team with a crap defense.

Remember how at the beginning of the season the Panthers were only gonna win 4 or 5 games because the schedule was so tough.

 

Funny, now that they've won 5 of their first 8 games, they haven't played anyone. You are what your wins and losses say you are.

 

yup. funny how that works. We haven't "beat anybody good" and we don't have a chance vs legit teams like NE and SF. LOL. Just watched the Panthers segment on ATH, and that was basically the tone from the journalists. They also pointed out that we have to play the Saints twice. We beat the Saints in both games last year.

I said the same thing.  Oh strength of schedule would allow us only a couple of wins.   

 

Called Parity.   Giants, Falcons, and Vikings were all playoff teams and TB had the same record as us.  So I don't listen to those that say easy schedule cause the teams we played have a losing record.

If this team collapses and sucks again after so many media people have hopped on the wagon, it'll be another decade before they're willing to give it a chance again.

 

meh. i get the sentiment from fans, but the media only cares if there's a story. we're getting relevant because we're winning. if we lose the rest of our games we won't be relevant anymore. if we come out next year and make the playoffs they won't shut up about us because we're in the playoffs.

FTA talking about strength of schedule moving forward:

 

 

While the Panthers face the league's ninth-toughest schedule, division rival New Orleans has the second-toughest schedule ahead.

 

 

 

Detroit is the playoff contender with the friendliest upcoming slate; it faces the league's fourth-easiest set of opponents, and that doesn't account for the likelihood that Jay Cutler won't be ready to return for the Bears next week


Hrmm.....
