Jason La Canfora's bold 2nd half prediction for the Panthers...

[davos]

We should at the very least beat the Titans, Colts, Bucs (once), & saints (if they're locked in by W17)

I expect 6-10 at the least as JLC predicts and personally say 8-8

The only game I can actually see a legit defeat is against the Texans. The rest are actually quite beatable (yes, even the Lions)

He's not a beat writer. He writes for NFL.com...

BTW: JLC started out as a beat writer who used to cover the skins. He now is a beat writer/reporter for NFL.com.

But hey, thanks for your insight. :puke:

please stay on topic.

They won't take one pooty team off the air to put on another one.

There is a difference between being pooty and boring to watch and pooty and exciting to watch. I never found the Pats was an exciting to watch unless they are playing an exciting team. For the NFL to remove the Pats from a Sunday prime-time simply because they're playing the Colts makes no sense. Unless they too find the Pats boring to watch...Just saying.

If we can fix our 3rd down defense, get some more turn overs on defense these close games will no longer be close.

I felt the same way about all the teams the Panthers have played so far...then reality really kicked in as to how bad the defense really was. Especially when u watch those highlights over and over again.

I think our DTs will show progress. They have so far and even though it hasn't been by much, they're adjusted to the speed of the game better and I only see our D getting better from this point barring any injuries.

We've played Brees, Rogers, & Cutler and came very close. I'm banking more on our offense learning to win shoot out style games.

at best 4 wins 6-10 top ten pick in draft

lets be real even if the offense wins these close games how long will that last before someone snags you off. how deep will u go into the playoffs without a defense.......defense wins championships or helps a lot.........

Reality accepted, but my optimism comes from the idea that if our offense as I mentioned can learn to win these close shoot out style games, as our D eventually catches up (next year), we could be lethal. More lethal than any Panther team in our history. I expect many Panther wildcard predictions by the so-called "experts" next year

[BeasonBeastingBacks]

4-4 seems about right

[chknwing]

were gonna win 2 more games, thats it.

Sorry to burst your bubble

Told you I did, no one listens. :(
