Jinxing a team whom very, very few consider a serious super bowl contender? Argument would be valid on the Panthers forum.
Bad juju. If you make the playoffs playing your best football, anything can happen. Let's start by beating the Patriots for once, and then finally beating the Colts at their place. Beating Buffalo next week would be nice, too.
There's not a lot of reason for that confidence, so yeah, it's being cocky. Sure the Texans defense has been stellar, but the offense struggled at times against one of the worst defenses in NFL history.....there's literally no defense that bad in the league.
