[Kyle82]

I see playoffs.

[Fireball77]

I'm usually kind of an optimist and hate predicting, especially so early, but honestly as things look now I can't see much better than 9-7. I REALLY hope I an very wrong, in a good way.

[goodlay]

Im worried, but I usually am, hopefully we'll have a good draft so we can handle this schedule.

[Cold Cat]

I'm going to go out on a limb here and be an optimist. If i break the season into quarters this is what I see.

First Quarter 3-1. I see us beating the eagles and spliting with either atlanta or dallas.

2nd Quarter 3-1. I see us dropping the NO or Cards game.

3rd Quarter 3-1. 3 home games and one on the road.

4th Quarter 2-2. Tuff stretch here. With the last game possibly deciding where we place in the south.

So me being a Homer i say we go 11-5.

[hepcat]

9-7, hopefully a hard fought division champion or a offensive juggaurnaut that could give a higher seed a scare in the playoffs. Let's just hope Jake's arm doesn't fall off!

[nosuchthingasapanther]

is there any way to dig up threads from the old crashed site?

a lot of what's being said here is what was said before the start of last season...tough schedule, 9-10 wins, etc, etc...

i think i was one of the only people if not the only person who said carolina would come out of the box hot and be no less than 6-2 at the bye.

here's my take this on season...and before i get started, i'm not claiming ANY game will be easy. 90% of the time, the panthers win ugly. that's not going to change any time soon.

i don't know about the rest of the nfc south, but i believe the panthers (and the their fans) will continue defending the home turf with a vengence...especially after the embarrassment by arizona. therefore i'm tagging every home game as a win. unfortunately for panther opponents this season, it won't take half the season for the run game to explode.

week 1-eagles W

much like the san diego home opener last season, this is a statement game...@ home.

week 2-@ atlanta W

i had to think about this one for a long time. it's going to be another tough one between these two teams, but i believe matt ryan's rookie side will show it's ugly head early in the season.

week 3-@ dallas W

carolina has had it's difficulties with the cowboys in the past, but let's be serious...underneath all the hype and hooplah, dallas is a shell of a team.

week 4-bye

the panther's worst enemy...but i predict the next 3 games to be the biggest run games of the season.

week 5-washington W

remember last season's preseason dominace? that was no fluke.

week 6-@ tampa bay W

it's tough to gameplan against a team that's in complete shambles. if gruden were still at the helm, i'd give the edge to the bucs. the mad scientist (and to a much larger extent tony dungy) was the reason this collection of once high profile players was as competitive as they were. it'll be an ugly game as usual.

week 7-buffalo W

the panthers @ home. nuff said.

week 8-@ arizona W

outside of the postseason meltdown, the panthers have a history of owning the cardinals. playing in a division with the rams, seahawks, and 49ers won't carry them to the promise land this time around.

week 9-@ new orleans W

god i hate the saints.

week 10-atlanta W

can you believe a series sweep?

week 11-miami W

this is going to be a fun one to watch.

week 12-@ new york jets L

there you have it folks. the first loss of the season. and trust me...it will be depressing. the schedule will finally take it's toll on carolina.

week 13-tampa bay W

it's not good to play the panthers after an embarrassing loss...and at BOA to boot.

week 14-@ new england W/L

this one is a coin toss. i don't think new england will be the super power that it usually is, but they will always be competitive. just like the superbowl between these 2, it's going to be a mistake that determines the game.

week 15-minnesota W

for the first time in a long while, carolina plays minnesota mistake free.

week 16-@ new york giants W

the giants didn't have an answer for the panthers last season until derrick ward stepped on the field.

oh wait, no derrick ward.

week 17-new orleans W

god i hate the saints. did i say that already?

did i predict 15-1 or 14-2? holy crap.

Yes you did

The only games on there I would change are the first Atlanta game to a loss, and the Minny game to a loss. The jets game to a win, NYG to a loss and keep the NE game a loss. I'm leaning towards 12-4/11-5 with losses to Atlanta, Minny, NYG and NE with a possibility of a slip up somewhere in the schedule.

[Lone Buc Fan]

Panthers won't sweep the South, bank on it.

[KillerKat]

8-8

[Lone Buc Fan]

week 1-eagles L

McNabb is a clutch Quarterback, home or not... I think he'll be carving your secondary up all game, Westbrook basically needs to add 50 yards rushing here which is a given and its a close win for the Eagles. That is unless Brian Dawkins leaving takes a big toll.

week 2-@ atlanta L

If you forget, Matt Ryan's rookie side brought up the Falcons scoring 45 points on the Panthers last season. Whats going to change here? Your only hope is to contain Turner or hope he gets hurt week 1.

week 3-@ dallas L

Dallas may be a shell of itself but possibly has the best ground game set in place with Barber, Jones, Choice... Plus I think DeMarcus Ware rattles Jake enough for you guys to lose it. Best hope is to pound them out like the Ravens did, which your very capable but Dallas is always money early in the season.

week 4-bye

Sucks to be you guys.... horrible week for a bye week.

week 5-washington W

Well Carolina should have the edge here, unless Carlos Rodgers pulls a Antoine Winfield.

week 6-@ tampa bay L

Its going to be a ugly game but I don't see Carolina walking in and winning this one as evidenced last season to a 27-3 loss. New scheme, new guys, your not going to be able to expect the same team from the previous Bucs. Your hope here is the Bucs dline collapses before you guys meet up. Plus like you say down in your Giants game, Derrick Ward was the answer to you guys losing... so no Derrick Ward, no problem... oh wait, Derrick Ward will be playin with Earnest Graham pulling the power running role. Jake typically turns the ball over 2-3 times too against Tampa.

week 7-buffalo W

Ya, I think this game you guys abuse Owens and your ground game posts 200+ rushing.

week 8-@ arizona L

Couldn't stop them at home, don't see how your going to travel on the road and beat the at their own place. Better hope Warner/Fitzgerald isn't active. Run the ball this time, and the first time you guys met, Carolina barely squeaked out a come behind win.

week 9-@ new orleans L

Yea, I hate the Saints too. Worse then the Falcons. I think you guys follow up week 8 right with a similar performance of being burned for 300+ yards passing back to back weeks.

week 10-atlanta W

Yea, your guys real edge is at home and might be the only real advantage here. Ryan might also do you guys in if your not forcing any pressure and you get a heavy dose of Turner and Roddy White. Carolina takes it though.

week 11-miami W

Miami collapses yet again, Parcells or not... I don't see them doin enough to put you guys away.

week 12-@ new york jets W

I just don't see them having enough to beat you guys either. Their best bet is to try to keep it close and win by a field goal but still... very unlucky.

week 13-tampa bay W

Being at home is your strength. Jake will still turn it over atleast twice even if you do win.

week 14-@ new england L

You kidding? December at New England with Brady back to top shape. How you gonna stop Moss or Welker?... Their defense does have enough to stop your run game. Definatley a guaranteed loss if there is one on the schedule.

week 15-minnesota W

Yea, you guys win here aslong as D doesn't fumble like Peterson does. Just don't let Winfield blow Jake up again, that was the real turning point in your last meeting.

week 16-@ new york giants L

Brandon Jacobs alone can handle the load, plus the Giants should have Braylon Edwards by this week and they have a improved defensive line from last year. Steve Smith has also progressed and I see him out doing your Steve Smith. Carolina won't win here... Again.

week 17-new orleans W

Yea, home and Brees should be a little beat up about now. Perfect time to ground and pound them if your backs are still healthy enough. Won't be pretty though.
