As is they could be a Super Bowl contender right now. If Delhomme was just a little less mistake prone, they'd be neck and neck with the Giants record-wise. Crazy how good the NFC South is at home. If Carolina hangs on and wins, it will run their division's overall home record to 24-2. That's absurd.

Well, we got to see in the preseason how much deeper their offense was than ours when they killed us.
As usual, I feel that they've underachieved again. Because talent-wise, there might be a team or two in the NFL that's more talented than these guys. Giants, and maybe the Eagles. But they really haven't played any better than we have over the course of the year (until tonight) and had only a two game lead on us in the conference standings that can be explained simply by the fact that they play the AFC West (where they are 3-0).
But it looks like tonight they finally put it all together, and if they can win out, or probably 2 out of 3, they will take the NFC South. And they might be dangerous in the playoffs. But I have a tough time thinking they can play three playoffs games without underacheiving in one. That doesn't sound like a John Fox coached football team.
However, if the Giants DON'T correct the issues in the trenches that were so prevalent against us and Philly, Carolina will beat them and get homefield advantage in the NFC playoffs.
