[Ivan The Awesome]

How is HokeBuck not permabanned? Kurb, what the fug bro?

[SauceBoss]

[Wyank]

Cuz he speaks the truth? one way or the other 2-6 sounds right. get rid of the homerism.

I'm perfectly fine wearing my homer glasses thank you.

I go in every weekend expecting a W. Hope the team does too.

[Guest Hokebuck]

Week 1: at Tampa Bay: Last year the Carolina Panthers swept the Buccaneers in dramatic fashion. Don't expect that to happen this season. Tampa Bay made a few good moves in free agency I expect to hear "Freeman to Jackson" very often in the season opener. Also with Martin in the back field and the new nonsense coach Tampa going to be a sleeper.

Prediction: Carolina 24, Tampa Bay 26

Record: 0-1 CORRECT Tampa 16, Carolina 10

Week 2: vs New Orleans: Nobody has loved what went down in the "Big Easy" this off season as much as us Carolina Panther fans. The Saints**** have dominated us the past couple years no different this year. However with all the troubles, you can never overlook Drew Brees. This is going to be a runway.

Prediction: Carolina 14, New Orleans 42

Record: 1-1 WRONG Carolina 35, New Orleans 27

Week 3: vs New York Giants: Super Bowl champions all need to be said.

Prediction: Carolina 10, New York 24

Record: 1-2 CORRECT New York 36, Carolina 7

Week 4: at Atlanta: Like the Saints****, the Falcons have had the upper hand the past couple seasons. Cam Newton struggled specifically against Atlanta last season. He knows that as well and will struggle again. Carolina will have 10 days to get ready for this one with a Thursday night game the week before. Another lost.

Prediction: Carolina 17, Atlanta 24

Record: 1-3 CORRECT Atlanta 30, Carolina 28

Week 5: vs Seattle: A better question than who will win this game is who will be Seattle's starting QB? I would like to see Russell Wilson get some playing time although it looks like they're leaning towards Matt Flynn. But what about that guy who started for them last year? My head hurts. First win for the Panthers if Russell Wilson is not the starter.

Prediction: Carolina 28, Seattle 13

Record: 1-4

Week 7: vs Dallas: Last year coming off a bye week, we lost 30-3. This year we are playing a better team and Dallas usually plays their best ball around this time of the year. Dallas in a rout.

Prediction: Dallas 35, Carolina 17

Record: 1-5

Week 8: at Chicago: While Rivera would love to beat his former team, I just don't see it happening. Soldier Field is always a tough place to play and Jay Cutler should be in top form at this point of the season. Matt Forte will continue his dominion against the Panthers and Julius Peppers will move to 3-0 against his former team. Agree!

Prediction: Chicago 34, Carolina 17

Record: 1-6

Week 9: vs Washington Redskins: This should be one of the exciting games to watch this year. RG3 is one of the top QBs to come out in a while and has drawn a lot of comparisons to Cam Newton. RG3 is actually a better passer than Cam look for a close one.

Prediction: Carolina 24, Washington 21

Record: 2-6

No shock and awe from Cam this season and the defense is still a ? mark!
