Realistic prediction: 5-11 this season

I think the Saints and the Falcons are going to battle for the NFS South this year and the Panthers and Bucs will be a non factor. I hate to say that but that's just the feeling I have right now. I watched the Saints and the Falcons games yesterday and they look like they are already in regular season form while we look like we need another 3-4 weeks of training camp to look better and even that's a stretch.

I am a passionate Panther fan and come to this board every day and don't post much but I feel strongly about my predition - enough to post it.

Yes we are missing some key players and hopefully that'll make a big difference but the reality is our Oline is just a couple of injuries short of disaster, our Dline is extremely untalented (except Pep and EB is coming on but they'll just double team Pep anyways) which means our Dbacks will have to work much harder this year and I think you'll be seeing more and more of what happened last night when you have a weak Dline.

On a positive note I think Dwill and Smitty will have big years again and will be good for fantasy stats and I love our three headed monster at running back and we should score some points. It's just that an inevitable injury or two on our Oline will keeps the points low and our defense won't be able to stop anyone good (Brees, Ryan, etc). :(

Yeah, last year I predicted 12-4 and I was right - albeit very lucky.

What is everyone else's prediction? I know there will be some that are drinking the koolaid way too much and will say 12-4 which is absurd considering how the Saints and Falcons are looking right now. I think if we are healthy all year long we may be able to go 8-8 or 9-7 but if the injury bug continues to hit us it's going to be a long year and 5-11 or 4-12 may be our record.

Another Huddler slurping the Falcons and Saints. I was defending the Panther fanbase the other day, but with nobody having any pride in this team and everyone jumping on the Falcon/Saint bandwagon, I may have to think twice about that.

With as many solid players as we have on offense, we WILL finish better than 5-11. That's a non-starter. Plenty of teams have had horrible defenses but have been able to score a lot of points to win plenty more than 5 games.

Is it like this every preseason?

No way!! I remember guys were practicly jerking off on their computer screens after watching Dwill and Stewart burn up the field in the preseason. I felt great about the team leading into the season. Pep was still under a normal contract (not effing 17mil for a season), Stewart was looking awesome and our D looked great. If you recall the first part of our season our D was top 5 - end then the bye came along. :banghead: Something happened b/c that's when our D went bye bye however our offense really took off (so did Dwill - coincidence?).

This year is different. I've been a fan long enough to know that when our team stinks it up - it REALLY stinks it up!! It's ugly and I'm starting to sense this is the direction we are going after these first few games.

      Bryce is still the future

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      If the last 2 weeks were Young’s first games in the NFL I’d have been pretty content Its tough to forget those first 18 games but he finally did things these last 2 weeks I’ve been waiting 18 games to see So it’s a start  Dan Morgan doesn’t strike me as the chess type but the whole committed thing could just be him knowing we’re going to have a top 5 pick again and if Bryce continues to flirt with this whole improvement thing then you might as well ride this out into the draft and potentially get someone to pick a QB in front of you

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      He is getting 8 million a year with only 15 guaranteed.  The Lions just drafted a RB in round 1 and then signed Montgomery and then threw more money at him.  There won't be many of these 3 down workhorses you are talking about, it will be a committees.  Our OC even said he had plays drawn up with both RBs in the backfield.  The starting DE you are getting for $8 probably shouldn't be a starting DE.  I'm not against paying a proven RB who is a locker room leader $8 million a year with our other RB being on a mid 2nd round contract.  That's pretty normal and nothing over the top for cap allocation.  You are still thinking old school.  The Falcons spent a high first on Robinson and he still splits with Allegier, The Lions spent a 1st on Gibbs and he splits with Montgomery not to mention injuries over a 17 game season.

      Why are we wasting money on RBs? Not even 2 years and we overpaid for 2 RBs!

      And that's how we ended up with Miles Sanders. Paying for a RB who had 1 great season. Now that our RB position is good to go I hope we see some success in the win column.   2 back system is a proven system is what they told me. Can't wait to start winning more games with double trouble!
