Think there's only 2 games that are in question, and that we have considerably good odds of winning each of those 3. Cowboys you never know once Romo's back. Giants you never know, especially in NY, though I think we should be able to win it. The others I'm not really worried about at all. Especially how the rest of our division rivals looked today. I think if we can show up big for the Thanksgiving game then we can go 16-0. But, 1 game at a time.

2 sets of back to back road games is a little worrisome.. I say four senarios are likely;

15-1, loss at Cowboys..

 

14-2, loss at Cowboys/split with Falcons.

13-3 losses to Giants and Cowboys/split with Falcons and lastly worst case..

12-4. Losses to BOTH Giants and Cowboys, a loss to the Falcons and a loss to the Saints in the dome. I think barring a catastrophic injury or string of injuries, 12-4 is our floor at this point.

I mean, how crazy is it that we're even discussing this after week 9? Who would have thought this after KB went down in camp...

I wasn't as down as others here but I never imagined in my wildest dreams that we'd go 4-0 over the past stretch. Was hoping for 6-2 at this point and felt that even that may not happen when KB went down. Granted the Seahawks, Colts and Eagles may not be as good as they were expected to be before the year but the Packers up until that Denver game were widely believed to be the NFC's top dawg. Now that's solely us, and man is it beautiful.

We're not losing to the Cowboys. Cam on Thanksgiving = blowout win. And CJ is gonna eat, to show up Hardy.

We'll be 10-0 going into Dallas and the streak will die there. Romo + Cowboys on Thanksgiving + Cowboys getting more calls than any other team + Panthers getting screwed more than just about any team = bet your life on the Cowboys winning. Might randomly lose another. We'll go 14-2 or 15-1.

Love this team, still say 0% chance.  And honestly I hope we lose a game or two before the playoffs.  15-1 or 14-2 still will be #1 seed I think.  We're bound to have a game where just nothing goes our way and we lose in flukish fashion, would much rather it be in the regular season than the playoffs.  We're gonna be getting every team's best shot, just don't see it happening.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
