Falcons, Bucs, Chiefs, DEN, OAK, Saints, Skins, Bears, Chargers. 10-6!

I think if we play together as a team, we can beat anybody. If the DEF plays like they did against the Bucs and Hawks, and our offense plays like it did vs the Saints and the Falcons. (minus Cam's fumble), we could beat a lot of teams on our schedule.

I think it's unlikely we go on the road and win a game because team chemistry is tenuous at best. If they come out of the bye having made some sort of miraculous turnaround I guess maybe. But right now I expect the road games to be losses.

I'm on the fence about the remaining home games. The loss of Kalil and having to move our OLine around makes me really worry about what will happen going forward. I am not optimistic.

In all cases the thing that kept us in games last year was our offense. Cam is having an off year for whatever reason and our offensive scheme is only making that situation worse. Until that problem is fixed every game is more likely to be a loss than a win to me.

Ah FUG it...we CAN win them all, but I don't see that happening. I'd venture to say we'll lose more games due to botched snaps than games we would win. The scary part in all of this... TCF (that's right, a 3rd person reference) can't even spin this in a positive light. We're just fugged

I suppose that's a fair statement.

We could win any of them. My answer is more for "Who are we likely to beat".

Honestly we could beat any team in the league on any given week. We were one play away from beating ATL and SEA. We could easily be riding high right now at 3-2 and tied for first in the NFC South, but that is not this teams fate. Football karma has bit us in the rear.

I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled off an eight game winning streak or something like that. I don't expect it, but it wouldn't blow my mind. We still have the talent. It's a matter of the coaches losing the locker room (if they ever even had it in the first place). If the coaches can get their act together, we can have a strong finish and very possbily squeeze in the playoffs. Anything can happen. The Giants were in fire Coughlin mode last year and look where they ended up.

I put more stock in the ATL game than the Seattle game as far as what we are capable of.

Seattle did everything they could to let us win that game despite utterly drumming us for most of the game. The most telling part about that game is how terribly their offense played and we still managed to lose.

Can? Anyone. IF they play at their best on both sides of the ball and get a break or two then they can eek out a win against every team left of the schedule but that's a HUGE if.

Will? if we scrape out another 2 wins this year (Bucs & Chiefs) Ill be shocked. Kalil to IR today said to me that they are content to mail it in.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
