Panthers record prediction thread

[Brooklyn Bully]

Acht und Acht

Seahawks could suprise. Take out the Browns, Rams, and Bucs....our schedule is pretty damn tough. Arizona could go either way after losing what they lost. Jake will know exactly what we are doing when we play the Browns. Going to be alot of hard fought games to say the least. We tend to play down in games against the less talented teams. Anybody remember the winless Lions coming into BofA with Culpepper at the helm two years ago and almost stealing one?

I don't think the Taints sweep us.

10-6. Panthers step up and suprise.

Or they don't and we are 6-10.

[Achilles]

On Paper, 8-8 (and that's generous)

Best Case, 10-6

Worst Case, 6-10

Law of Averages, 9-7 (with a little hopefulness added)

Like pretty much every year, We will probably start slow, and build momentum week by week. IF our d-line gets a pass rush going (which I have zero confidence in) we could rattle off a few wins early. Otherwise, look for us to be 2-3 at the bye week.

Then we have 5 winnable games in the next 7 (San Fran, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Cleveland, and Seattle). Win 4 of 5 and barring any big wins vs the likes of the Saints or Ravens, we could be at 6-6 after week 13 (or better).

In the next 4 games, we play Atlanta twice. So, to me our play in December will tell the story of this season. Beat the Falcons twice, and our chances of making the post season will be excellent. Arizona and Pittsburgh can be beaten.

We always play our best football in December! If it comes down to that I like our chnces.

Realistically, though, I think we will JUST miss the playoffs and Fox will be let go.

[dimbee]

we will easily beat the seahawks and the bears and the giants, there is 11-5 right there

You have your guess. I have mine.

[Zod]

Lack of run defense will be our downfall and will lose us a few close games.

5-11

[Jase]

Two more wins than the rams.

So 3-13.

[Shermdog]

10-6 possibly 13-3. Where is the optimism??? We have a lot of wet Blankets in here.

Now is the time for optimism, tis true. But 13-3 isn't optimistic it requires delusions of grandeur, LOL Plus we know that folks will bump this thread in January and no one wants to look like the fool that predicted 13-3 if we go 6-10.

[Hawk]

I predict we'll have 13 more predict the record threads between now and the start of the season!!!!

[thefuzz]

6-10 to 8-8 is about what I am expecting.

9-7 and I will be very happy

10-6 and I will be on board for keeping Fox and Hurney around.

3-13? 5-11? wtf are we smoking around here?

we have issues but we aren't the browns.

[panthers55]

3-13? 5-11? wtf are we smoking around here?

we have issues but we aren't the browns.

Maybe the 3-13 guys are smoking the same stuff the 13-3 guys are smoking. It just effects them oppositely.

3-13? 5-11? wtf are we smoking around here?

My prediction hasn't changed since the start of offseason PTPR thread months ago, which is 7-9 to 9-7. The schedule is one of the easiest in recent memory and the ONLY reason I'm saying no fewer wins than seven. Nine losses come in the scenario that the passing game continues to sputter and the offense can't overcome the point totals the opposing team puts up. Mark my words, with the lack of a run 'D', the defense will allow a mimimum of 21 points a game except for the Rams' and Browns' games. The onus is on the offense to outscore the opposing team's 'O' each game. In other words, no defensive battles this year.
