Your November Win-Loss Predictions


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I'd say 3-1 or 2-2.  A lot depends on our injuries.  I'm a bit concerned with our Oline situation now with Kalil and Norwell.  (And Velasco maybe not 100% either... yikes.)  Also, re: our Dline, sounds like Addison is still out for awhile.  Not sure about Edwards.

The Packers game is the toughest on our schedule.  Would be hard to get a win at full strength and with a full week.  With a short week after an exhausting late Monday night game in the rain, and with our injuries, I'm not sure we'll pull out the win, though I do believe the team's heart and unity counts for a lot, and that we have the belief that we CAN win it, which is huge.

I'm also worried about Dallas.  Dallas is pretty desperate for wins.  If Romo is back, and with Hardy having a grudge against us... on national TV on Thanksgiving, I'm a bit worried that Dallas plays on a whole different level.  Too much to prove... and us having an ULTRA short week playing games on Sunday & Thursday.  I fear we may be too beat up.  I'd been hoping we could rest some guys for at least parts of the Tennessee or Washington games, but given how thin we are on the lines right now, I'm not so sure it will happen.

In summary:  I fully believe we COULD emerge 4-0.  The team has shown me enough to believe they can do it.

But much more likely we'll come out of this stretch 3-1... and that's my "official" prediction.

But the combination of injuries and short weeks also means 2-2 could well be in play.  

It almost feels like extreme "Debbie Downerism" to concede the possibility of 2 losses right now.  I want to believe we'll be 11-0 or at worst 10-1 at the end of November.  But gosh, if at the beginning of the season we'd predicted 9-2, that would have seemed almost extreme optimism.   It's good to be a Panthers' fan right now!

I actually didn't mind Amini Monday night, unlike others.  Velasco is blah, but Amini was damn good in the run game.  

Wasnt his issue pass protection? I thought he was always at least decent in the run game? Seems like he just cant move laterally at all.

That is some solid logic but I'm going with 4-0. I see several ways that we can win. Mostly it's the intangibles. The will and the desire. The team finds a way to win. I see the GB game as an opportunity to protect our new weakness by gameplanning around it. If we do that, then I would say the coaching staff has taken the next step and are now doing whatever it takes to win. Like in NE they simply out plan and execute everyone. We win in GB game and we don't lose...evah!

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
    • Well, we got our answer on Army today.
