All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
well i didn't see it earlier. either way i find it hard to believe that he would rank carolina 8th. they beat baltimore and detroit. they won't have six wins between them and cariolina won't have many more than they do right now. he actually thinks that carolina is better than 22 other teams in this league. unreal.
If my memory serves me right, there was a team last year that no one gave any credit to, even as they worked their way through the playoffs, and eventualy to the super bowl. Then in what many would call an amazing fashion beat the favorite to winm the world championship. No one gave the Patriots credit, and no one took them seriously. Iam not saying that we will go as far this season as the Pats did, but hell you never know. If people want to take us for granted, over look us, and not take us seriously then so be it. We will be the ones laughing last. Ready or not here we come!!
When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on tight!!!
What does he base that on? Let's see, who do they have on that team ...
QB Pete - OK, he's a vet but c'mon.
RB Smith/Foster - Another solid but unspectacular vet in Smith. Foster is untested
WR Muhammed/Smith - I like Muhsin if he can stay healthy, but Smith?
TE Walls - cagey vet with bad knees
OL - I don't know most of those guys
D - Pretty much no-names except for Peppers and he's a rook.
I don't know. That's either a tremendously knowledgable and gutsy call or is a pathetic over-simplification based on record.
I think there are 8 teams that are 2-0. Carolina is one of them. I don't think they're anywhere near the eighth best team in the NFL, but maybe that's what he's basing it on.
As for the Bills, I think there are a bunch of teams at 1-1. Buffalo has shown it has an explosive offence, but for whatever reason (special teams errors, penalties etc.) they haven't proven they can stop the other team from scoring. Until they do, don't expect a ton of national recognition.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I agree Carolina probably shouldn't be top-10, but...
The Carolina front 7 is very good on defense. Julius Peppers, Mike Rucker, Brentson Buckner, Kris Jenkins, Dan Morgan, Hannibal Navies, Mark Fields. That is among the better front seven combos in the league. Really. Peppers, Ruckers and Morgan are all big-time players.
The Carolina OL is pretty good, and they have some semblance of a decent running game. Todd Stuessie, Chris Terry, Kevin Donnalley and Jeff Mitchell are all solid proven veteran OL. When they get DeShaun Foster back from injury they will be running the ball even better.
Finally, Carolina plays one of the weakest schedules out there. If you play defense, run the ball and have a favorable schedule you are in every game, even if Rodney Peete is your QB.
