ESPN's 2009 Strength of Schedule

[Peppers90 NC]

the bucs are also going to sweep us by his predictions as well

That's exactly what all those Saints fans said didn't they? Tell to him to ask them how that worked out for them as well.

Wow, only 6 words from the idiot loudmouth. Must have done my job in shutting you up. The Panthers didnt score 30 at Atl either but that is not what I said either, learn to read TROLL.

He's done nothing but show his homerism for his team. Call him a troll, but no need to call him an idiot. Take it to smack if you want.

And for the record, all the talking heads are going to pick last years division winners as their favorite for 2009, when we know that hardly ever happens. So to quote some talking head "expect" for picking your team to win it again is idiodic. Those fugtards are never right.

Yea, Peppers obviously has a anger problem as I can see the blood vessels popping on the sides of his temples as he responds with more anger everytime.

Carolina repeating is just unlikely. Tampa having winning seasons back to back wasent enough to pull it out. Carolina hasen't pulled winning seasons out ever in the entire history of John Fox. So, whats there to give them the edge on when the team has dropped some on the talent level.

All we lost was a player who wasn't doing well, Lucus, and we might lose one who doesn't want to be here, peppers. Also a bunch of coaches.

Yea defensive co-ordinator and some assistants. Mix that with the loss of Lucas, the lack of depth, a bottom tier secondary and bam... hard to stay positive with no improvement or real direction. Everyone is knocking on Tampa about the coaching change and bam... your in a similar position, maybe not to the same degree but its still not going to be the same team as last year. Even with the same talent pool as a base.

Yea, hard to believe 9-7 couldnt pull it off two years in a row. In 07 the Bucs who were predicted to finish last in the division took advantage of a down year in the South and fell into 9 wins which was enough to win the division. 9-7 after starting 9-3 this past season was not enough to fall into the playoffs, unfortunately. I haven't seen too many fans on this board predicting stellar seasons or even repeating the division for the Panthers, so you must have found one or two people and turned it into a hundred. Obviously you don't fully read posts and like all the Saints fans, ignore points and decide not to respond when they expose the fraudulance of their teams, i.e. 9-3 to 9-7 in my previous post. Here is my prediction: You will be here until the Panthers bash the Bucs or when the Bucs just suck, whichever comes first and will disappear into thin air like wdk and others. You're right, the Panthers have not put together winning seasons, ever, but until this last season, the team that finished last won the division the next season, so trends can end.

[Lone Buc Fan]

Yup well said and atleast your discussing the topic and not throwing insults in that response. Nice, props for that.

[mantal]

It's gonna be a strong schedule, but it's gonna be a strong schedule for all the NFC South teams. I have no problem with that, we'll grade out just fine, as long as we stay healthy. Pretty much the same situation for every other team in the NFL...

[Lone Buc Fan]

Yea, its nice when people will just talk about things instead of being ignorant.

.500 seems fair though with the type of schedule the Panthers face. Its not necessarily the teams they face, its how thing are stringed together that makes it iffy.

[DOUBLETROUBLE28]

LBF y are u so upsest with hating the panthers u must have a boring life to come on an opposing team forums and talk about how they r going to suck. get a life

[Squirrel]

Saying the Strength of schedule is goingto be hard by using last year finish is a little retarded if you ask me. For one teams revamp and get new players. 2nd a good player last year might suck this year.

If you wanna talk smack, goto the Smack Talk forum...

I've tried to be as honest as possible, I have as much stock in the Panthers as I do the rest of the south. We could all end up looking like the AFC West this year.
