2016 NFL Week 5 - Guess Who's Back?
- Thread starter Fantomex
- Start date
It was kind of obvious that the Panthers got by a very weak NFC last year.
In the regular season they faced the AFC South and the NFC East not to mention 6 games against their own poor division last year.
That's 14 games against teams that were almost all in the bottom tier of the NFL last year. They aren't a bad team but there was no way they were going to match the success of last year.
Aaron wasn't the same. Palmer was going to implode eventually. Wilson had the worst offensive line in the league. The Vikings had Teddy and Blair Walsh. Those were their top contenders in the NFC last year.

They also had a lot of favorable field position from turnovers generated by their defense.

Rats went 5-11 last year. Panthers went to the Super Bowl.
They started the season 3-0, are 3-2, and still fired their OC.
They also fired their OC the season they won the Super Bowl (and were in the AFC title game the year prior), so it's not like it's unprecedented.

Did the Vikings break the panthers?
Nah Von Miller and Denver did. The Vikes just shot an already dead body.

I mean the last time we beat the panthers they went on a massive winning streak immediately after.
Maybe this time is the opposite?

I think he means he and Jameis are .500 combined in beating court cases.

Looks like I missed one amazing ass football game.
Josh Freeman as a Viking against the giants would be the featured game for that.
Gotta have that Seahawks Browns 3 - 6 game featuring Clipboard Jesus.

I live in CT and maybe get to see my team on tv 1-2 times a year and I'm lucky if they win either of them :[

Crazy stat: Though five games, Greg Olsen leads tight ends in receiving by 200 yards
He almost hit 200 last night

We say this but we all know we're still going to be living and dying with this trash ass team every week.
Fuck the NFL and fuck the Panthers for being too easy to care way too much about
I feel like the Dolphins fan in that one Draw Play comic
EDIT: I'm the Panthers version of this

No you didn't. I'm gonna be honest this season has sucked for the most part. Idk exactly what it is, but everybody is just underwhelming for the most part.

Yeah no.
Two Super Bowl appearances this century (last year!) doesn't mean you get to associate yourself with Dolphins fans.
Edit: Re: last year's Panthers
I don't think you can shit on them too much last year. They were still a damn good team regardless of competition. Cam Newton had such a crazy good year that it was like a light finally switched on for him. Dude was finally making smart choices and leading that offense.
It's entirely possible that that light switched off again. Also teams change and when you lose a Super Bowl, it's damn hard to get back the next year.
Continuing their plucky brand of comedic losses.
I'm still having nightmares and flashbacks of Greg Olsen torching the Bucs pathetic secondary. Greg is a great player, so why is there literally no defenders within 5 yards of him when he is making repeated catches 20-30 yards downfield.

Yay!
NFL improved this week. Now there is only 9 teams with 1 or less wins.

Sammie Coates suffered a gash on his left hand in the first half that required 17 stitches.
Performance after the gash - 4 catches 48 yards, TD
