Could Panthers win division at 9-7?

My prediction is that 10-6 is going to win our division, but I think it's definitely feasible that 9-7 could do the trick as well. Not for lack of strength in the division, but just because of the tough schedule (as I'm sure you very well know).

Yes.

No team in this division will win over 10 games this season. Everyone has just as brutal a schedule as we do. I still think we are the best team in the NFC South and I think we may be poised to go to the playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time since Fox came aboard.

For the first time ever, right? I sure do hope so. I'd like to finally have back to back winning seasons.

You are absolutely correct. You also aren't the only one wanting to see us put together back to back winning seasons, then maybe we can be taken a little more seriously as opposed to that team that tries, and tries but somehow fails to be a consistently feared and respected franchise.

I definitely agree. We've always been the team that has breakout years, and fails the following. Under Fox, that has been mostly due to injuries. Thats not good being as we have started off this year with some injuries. I think we will be alright though.

I don't see us winning the division. In fact, I don't see us with a winning record.

We just don't look good now. And don't give me "it's the preseason, stupid" excuse. If you can't stop the run now, you sure won't be able to stop it when it counts.

It truly hurts to say this, but I think Atlanta has the edge this year. I think they'll split with us and end up with a better record, just since their schedule isn't as tough. I just hope we can snag one of the wildcard spots. One wildcard will come from the east, and I don't see one coming out of the west. We just have to finish with a better record than Chicago and Green Bay.

Their schedule is not realy different. There are two diff games.

We have the Vikings and they have the Bears.....toss up

We have the Cards and they have the 49ers....slightly easier for them, but not by much. Cards won't sniff the playoffs. A healthy Seattle team will easily win the NFC West.

Other than these...we play the same teams.

      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.
