Panthers have the hardest schedule in NFC in 2009

The Dolphins are projected to have the NFL's toughest schedule in 2009.

Last year's combined win percentage of Miami's 2009 opponents is .594 (152-104 W-L record). The Panthers will face the NFC's hardest schedule, while the Patriots get the NFL's third most difficult slate. Offseason upgrades and blunders, and natural personnel improvement and decline always influence these projections. But the AFC East will face the AFC South and NFC South, neither of which had one team with a losing record last year.

Good Bye Mr. Fox

And, strength of schedule means nothing before the season. No one knows who is going to be good next season.

Going into last year, SD was projected as one fo the best, Atlanta was supposed to be one of the worst, no one would have picked the Dolphins, Falcons, and Cardinals in the playoffs.

We need to wait and see.

pussy. Stop quaking in your panties. The Panthers are good, and good teams can beat other good teams. Seriously, are you afraid to get up in the morning or something?

I welcome the competition and the Panthers will be better come playoff time because the had to face better competition. Stop being such a pansy.

People always like to point that out, but chances are the Pats will be good with or without Brady, the Dolphins will be quite decent thanks to Chad, the Jets will be decent with or without Favre, (the Bills, no), the Cowboys will be good as usual, the Giants will be good because they are, the Eagles will be decent if they keep McNabb around, (the Skins, no), the Vikings will be decent thanks to that D and AP, the Cardinals will be decent if they re-sign Warner, the Falcons will be decent because they're for real, (the Bucs, no), and the Saints will be decent thanks to their offense. Barring injuries...it WILL be a tougher season than last. You can point out your one or two teams like you did (Chargers...who DID make the Playoffs, mind you; and then the Falcons and Miami shocks) but what about the rest of the league? I bet if you go back to the start of last season, they did pretty much how we thought they would.

We will not go 12-4. But I do think we win the division.

This is all based on last season's teams. Offseason and other things change all this. Everyone thought the Falcons would be a cakewalk this year, look what happened? Some teams fall, some teams rise. And "hard" is pretty relative to our current position. If we're for real next season, it won't seem as hard, whereas if we struggle, it's gonna be a very hard schedule.

I'm not on the Cowboys, Falcons, and Jets bandwagon just yet.

Cowboys could be a train wreck. They really are a joke of a team with a Michael Jackson-esque owner. Add the pressure to win now with all the B.S. (reality TV shows), Tony Romo's inability to perform under any type of pressure and his cookbook, weak ass grandpa Wade Phillips.... the cowbitches could fade. Which I would LOVE to see happen so I can shove it down the throats of every punk bitch Cowboy fan in Charlotte.

Falcons- Not sure. Last year was the perfect storm.

Jets didn't show much at the end of last year and will have a new coach.

Hey, I said I think we win the division. All I'm saying is I feel we won't go 12-4. And sure, a few teams surprise you every season and a few teams go sour. But for the most part, you can ballpark how a team will do based on what they currently have. Barring injury, the Pats, Jets, Phins, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Falcons, Vikings, and Cardinals all have good teams. And six of the teams I just mentioned we play on the road.

I think 10-6 is a good safe bet for our team. I'd be thrilled with 11-5. Of course we could go 16-0...and next year, when someone argues what I'm arguing now, you can point out how everyone said we had a tough schedule but went 16-0. Just be realistic. We're facing a lot of teams that year in and year out usually have tough squads. I'm not knocking the Cats at all. I think we'll be back in the Playoffs.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
