Our schedule is HORRIBLE

[CharlottePanther]

All I know is there is no effin way Seattle beats us a 3rd time in a row at home, especially how close we got the last two times. Just no way

If I had to pick one sure fire loss it would have to be at Green Bay. I dont know why, but ever since I found out we play them at Lambeau when I first saw our schedule, I got a terrible feeling about that game and still do. I see that as our "we get blown out, throw away the game film" kind of game. Dont ask me why, I just do and cant shake the feeling.

It's the NFL.....every schedule sucks.  Every team is hard....other then the Raiders and Jags.

To be the man, you got to beat the man.  That goes for everyone.

How is this, in any way, breaking news?

I swear the things people choose to do with their frees time boggles my mind

To be the man...

 

 

This is also how I feel about the season being right around the corner

Um ... the NFL schedule is all about mathematics. Please don't tell me some of you think the NFL gave the Aints an easier schedule.

Not really mathematical there Chachi. It's predetermined based on division matchups and order of finish. Not sure how they determine home and road though or who gets a true home opener. Seems we are on the road for game one more than not. Explain that math.

EDIT: never mind, saw this discussion already occurred with RR

It's mathematical because it deals with what places teams finish which is numbers and numbers means math.

Just busting balls Brooklyn.....but you know mathematics was a silly answer.

The Panthers are like the goddamn Batman. Sure there's a lot of scary foes this season, but they all have one thing in common, they're all scared of the Panthers.

There is no fame in defeating the weaks.

 

Go Panthers  !

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!

 

I don't think it's that bad. The first six games are all winnable. The five game stretch after that (Green Bay, Seattle, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Atlanta) is brutal, but three of those are at home and after that the only real concerns are New Orleans (at NO) and Atlanta (at ATL). There's at least 8 games we have an edge in (2x Tampa, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,  Cincinnati, Minnesota, and Cleveland) and I can't see us being swept by New Orleans or Atlanta. I wouldn't be surprised with a 10-6 or 11-5 finish, even with our current roster holes.
