Panthers will be profiled on ESPN2 (First Take) this morning (now)

[AnalyzeThIs#28]

Buffalo was pretty awful last year, weren't they?

Yes, but so was Jake. And if you go back and check the stats of that game, we had 200-300 yds. of Offense. And Buffalo had less that 80 yds. (something like that) is was pathetic. Jake throw 3-4 costly interceptions where the Bills scored off 2 of those picks.

Again Jake killed us with this game.

My prediction and others from what I can see are based on who is here now. Once the draft is over and free agency winds down we will better know who is here. Once training camp and preseason arrive we will have a much clearer idea of where we stand. Predictions then will likely be more accurate and semi-reliable. Until then it is the offseason and right now we are not a very talented or deep team at several positions. So I can see 8-8 or less right now. As I just said, if we make additional pickups and bring quality guys in, the predictions will change and should. Any predictions now are like saying how much money do you have based on looking at your checking account. It depends on when you look. For most of us it changes over time. Likewise to determine if we will be good or bad depends on when you look. Right now our team may not look the same as it will 5 months from now or it may not change that much.

Minus Peppers, I think it's fairly obvious this team would be 8-8 as it stands, because it's basically the same team fielded last year, minus Delhomme. With Moore, it could've easily been a way better year. Hence why I would predict better than 8-8...

But yeah, I see your point about "right now" and why they "graded" the Panthers the way they did.

[MadHatter]

10-6 wild card or 9-7 just missing it

sounds about right.

I think 10-6 is very possible. 8-8 or 9-7 if the young guys don't step up. Outside chance at 11-5 if Moore is the real deal and with our schedule.

It isn't close to the same team. Even with Brayton back and calling Moore a starter since he started 5 games, we still have 7 starters from last year not on this squad. That is 1/3 of the starting team. And for the most part the current replacements were not as productive as the starters. So to say we are the same or better is a gross overstatement.

Jake completely lost that game with his int's.

That was the ONLY offense that Buffalo had. He killed our drives and gave them every point they had.

Don Steward? haha dude's on espn and can barely speak.

They have a decent pass D and Jairus Byrd is a ball hawk.

Really doesn't matter though we should've ran way more than we did.

I know, I know.

I'm just agreeing with Dirty Sanchez that there is at least a game each year that the Panthers should win easily but do not. They may not lose as a result of Jake throwing picks next year, but you better believe the Panthers will lose to an "inferior" opponent, just as they'll beat a "superior" opponent.

Man I would be stoked if we landed Arrelious Benn (or Mardy Gilyard)

Would rather have Benn though...But Gilyard in the 3rd wouldn't be the worst and then Terrence Cody in the 2nd??? Would be solid.

Where's Benn projected to fall>>>???

[Swarly]

lol I'm glad I slept through this. Seems like it would just irritate me.

[panthersphan]

I just don't see how you can pick us going 6-10 next year w/ these opponents:

Home- Falcons (W). Saints (W), Buccaneers (W), 49ers (W), Cardinals (W), Ravens (L), Bengals (L), and Bears (W).

Away: Falcons (L), Saints (L), Buccaneers (W), Seahawks (W), Rams (W), Browns (W), Steelers (L) and Giants (L).

We'll be 10-6 next year.

My god.

he's just surfing the negative waves. lol.

Guys we're NOT going to win any games unless we re-sign stalwarts like Muhsin Muhammad and Damione Lewis.
