Pro Football Weekly Panthers Preview

[Ivan The Awesome]

Worst case for me would be going 8-8.  I don't see a sub. 500 team. Too much talent on both sides of the ball to be under. 500.

12-4 fug the haters

[KissMyConverse]

No. The article sounded positive to me.

I think you should go back an re-read it then. They basically said worst case scenario we're a sub 500 team. Then predicted us to go 7-9 which in their own words would be the worst case scenario.

So basically they said yeah all this good stuff could happen and they could be like 11-5 or 12-4 and make it to the NFC Championship game or even the Super Bowl OR all this bad stuff could happen and they could be Sub 500. But ALL this bad stuff has to happen not one or two of these things but ALL of these things have to happen for them to be sub 500. fug it let's just assume ALL the bad stuff will happen because... why not... 7-9

This season cannot get here soon enough.  It's going to be sweet to see  all the "what the hell just happen looks" that's going to happen throughout the season.

Ok let's just get this out in the open so we can be done with it.

Offenive Line:

Left Tackle- Oher/Martin (questionable but better than last year)

Left Guard: Norwell (FO sees him as a 10 year starter)

Center- Kalil (arguably the best at his position)

Right Guard- Turner (2nd year guy looking to take that next step)

Right Tackle - Remmers/Willams/Martin (solid group with huge upside)

 

Why is this group so maligned again?  This can be as good of a line as we've seen in years.

[LinvilleGorge]

Yeah, I don't think we're going to be challenging the Cowboys for the best OL in the league, but this group has a pretty good chance of being solid and solid is quite a bit better than we've had for awhile.  We've yet to put a solid OL in front of Cam Newton.

[KissMyConverse]

Biggest question mark is LT.... well its the same with 20+ other teams in the league. Franchise Elite LT's are almost as rare as QB's.

besides Kalil, you would actually have to watch the games to know who any of the other guys are. the media doesnt know poo about Norwell besides him being undrafted. they dont know that remmers looked solid along the line, they see him as a guy claimed off of a practice squad. turner is seen as a young guy, williams as a rookie, martin as part of the incognito scandal, and Oher as the guy cut from the Titans.

Well lord knows you cant watch the games before you report on the specifics of a team!

That would take like, hours and stuff.

when has a major media outlet actually done their research? there are too many better stories like russell wilson and ciara or how many fingers pierre-paul has left. or deflategate.

its easier for them to copy paste what they put last year and just add a few new names here and there instead of watching film of all 32 teams.

[Chief Keek]

7-9?

I wholeheartedly agree that the media wont do the work.

That still doesn't take the palm out of my face when I read their steaming pile of horse-cockery.

[Big Boi]

I have a hard time seeing this year's team going sub .500, barring significant injuries of course.  If relatively healthy, I see this as a realistic scenario:

4-2 in divisional games

Jax, Houston, Skins, Titans, Giants need to be wins, but we'll typically drop one game that we shouldn't

Seattle, Philly, Indy, Green Bay, Dallas need to win at least two of these, shouldn't be too much to ask, and could certainly do better

If that all plays out it leaves us at 10-6, very solid year.
