I watch a lot of Carolina games. They're pretty good offensively, I loved Hampton, they have some good WRs from Jones to McCollum. Their problem has been defense, they've blown a lot of leads even during Howell and Maye's days.
You can be sure Coach will whip that defense in shape in a hurry. Pats defenses were always competitive no matter who they plugged in. They were often overlooked because Brady, but those defenses kept them in a lot of games over the years.
