I do think that this team has a lot of potential similarities to 2006, but they need to keep winning to make that happen. Like 2006, they have a very senior laden defense, for one. For another, they seem to have the determination, both on offense and defense, not to lose. Tonight is a huge game, and a game the Bobcats need to win.
And special teams is very special this year! Love our kicker from 38 yard line on in (55 yard FG).

They took another big step today, and have only 3 games to go. Next game to win in Miami.

I disagree with your assessment that special teams are special. The FG kicker is, yes, but I am pretty sure that Ohio is has to be last in the country in where they take possession of the ball after kickoffs, and their punts and punt returning have both been suspect.
