Our schedule is HORRIBLE

Ok, with the exception of moving a small market down and a big market up to help readership (i.e. +Bears, - Panthers), the power rankings this time of year tend to just be a copy and paste of last year's standings (despite the fact that an average of 5.5 teams get bounced from the playoffs each year). 

 

Anyway, a few friends and I got together and are seeing who can correctly pick the final playoff teams at various points in the season. The points are weighted to where the earlier picks count more, as the true playoff teams become for obvious as the season goes on.

 

My first set of picks are due tomorrow, and I wasn't sure what to do about our division. While researching, I took a closer look at our HORRIBLE schedule.

 

Panthers

-6 games against playoff teams 

-4 Away (Cincinnati, Green Bay, Philadelphia, New Orleans)

-2 Home (Seattle, New Orleans)

 

New Orleans

-5 games against playoff teams

-1 Away (Carolina)

-4 Home (Green Bay, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Carolina)

 

WHAT THE FRENCH!! TOAST!

Well c'mon now of course if you are going to nitpick for negatives you can easily find something (which you have). If you were to nitpick for positives I'm sure you could find something just as easy.

 

Maybe it's better the playoff teams are away games, go ahead and assume those are hard games so we probably only win half anyways. That leaves more of the easier games as home games which should increase the chance of winning more of them and having a better overall record.

Of course they are going to throw a pity party home schedule for New Orleans. Why those assholes are the darling of the schedule makers eye is beyond me.

I thought last season's schedule was going to be super tough too.

Then Falcons turned to poo
Giants became poo
Bucs were even worse than I thought

Minnesota went from playoffs to firing their coach

Zona was better than I thought

Etc. We won't know till we play em. Line em up and we will knock em down

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By mav1234 · Posted

      There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      Whatever they are in totality the cowboys are beat up all to hell on both sides of the ball and even that was too much for lil Bryce to overcome.  Bryce defenders have to hype up every other team and trash every other part of the panthers just because of the situation they’ve put themselves in.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      JB had a first round grade in the eyes of a lot scouts based on HIS TALENT LEVEL. If not for the injury he would have gone higher in the draft, possibly between the middle and the end of round 1. To get him just before the 50th pick is a steal. He'd be on a 4 year deal. You can't even renegotiate until the end of the season 3. You're basically paying him nothing for 3 seasons. I don't buy into all back are interchangeable. No they're not. You have average backs, good backs, then your great-exceptional backs. The latter category doesn't grow on trees. If a back is special it pays to keep them. The key is knowing the difference between the first two categories and the third one.
