Expectations for next year?

[kman72]

Simple.

Playoff appearance, nothing less= my expectations or be fired for Rivera. Realistically I feel we'll have a 8-8, 9-7 record but not make the playoffs.

That's my expectations is Playoffs. I expect to see players put into positions to make plays on both sides of the ball. I want to see improvement and team chemistry from the players. I want there to be decisions made from Coach Rivera and when he makes it be confident, hopefully these decisions are more on the aggressive side of going for 4th and shorts and not settling for field goals. Injuries and missing playoffs are not an excuse this yr. It is make the playoffs and play well in the playoffs or you are fired.

Eleventy and two?

[DaveThePanther2008]

Are you kidding me?

So we didn't lose three or four games last year because of one play? We could have easily been 10-6 / 11-5. Yes or No?

We already have the talent to be competitive. Because you have no faith or belief does not mean we cannot win that many games. We were 10th overall defensively with the entire defense returning minus one player. That one player will be replaced by a better player in Beason. And we have added some new players to make us better.

We finished 12th in the league offensively and the primary reason we were that low is gone. Chudinski failure accept his read option wasn't a primary weapon in the NFL cost us too much early. We have weapons throughout the offense. The addition of Ginn will only help. I think he will be a huge addition offensively not just special teams. Shula has great weapons and has good communications with Cam.

Atlanta's addition of Jackson worries me some. But they haven't replaced Abraham (not yet at least) And we have shown we can beat them. New Orleans has their coach back but they have alot to do to get their worst defense in NFL history improved. Tampa Bay has addressed their defense. Josh Freeman has HUGE question marks on whether he is the Franchise QB they thought he was.

So Every team in our division can be beat. We aren't the doormat. Because you have a sky is falling mentality doesn't mean you are right and I am wrong. I see the things we did wrong last year ana learned from it. You see it as the SSDD.

Just because we didn't sign super free agent to a multi-million dollar megadeal doesn't mean we haven't address some of our needs.

Don't like my expectations. Who give a fug. Give me your reasons why we won't. I will guarantee it is simple negativity. I am sick and tired of the negative Nancies and Whiners. Positive thinking might make your outlook on this team more exciting. Otherwise F.O.

Why you mad bro

Show me an example of Rivera coaching to win us a game? 5 out of our 8 home games are gonna be 50/50 opposing fans vs Panther fans in BofA. Our schedule is brutal. Whatevs. Ill gladly eat crow if we win 10 but I'm a realist and just don't see it.

[Kakarot]

6-10 Rivera's first year, 7-9 his second...I'll go 8-8 this year. No playoffs again for us.

[CardiacCats]

Really guys? No one? alright....

SuperBowl Champs

thank you

[Ken]

I think we just miss the playoffs.

Because I dislike people that think they are right and others are wrong. Your "Are you Kidding me" implies you don't respect others opinions.

4th and inches against Atlanta in Atl. Had Rivera choose to use his 6' 5" QB and take a chance. He had just gotten the first down before he lost the ball. That decision right there cost us the game.

Since when do the fans play on the field. 50/50 is a bit extreme. Our division has the most brutal schedule because we all finished 7-9 or greater. Our own division is why we have one of the toughest schedules.

You see everyone outside of our division a lose. I don't. We've beaten Brady Before, NYJ is in disarray, Buffalo is beatable. Miami is adding alot but the Eagles showed us adding big name free agents don't always mean a championship. SF gonna be tough especially in SF. We can beat St Louis, We should of beat Seattle though 2013 gonna be tougher. Arizona is clearly beatable. Minnesota and NYG are brutal but we can beat them. I am sure the NYG game is going to be marked on the players calendar as a game of redemption.

Games we should win. Buffalo, NYJ, StL, Arizona, Split Division (3) Split NE, Mia, Minn, NYG, SF and Seattle (3) so we could easily be 10-6.

Realistic? How so, cause or fans don't cheer loud enough? Well with attitudes like yours no wonder no one is excited about this team.

We could be 0-16 but I tend to believe we are improving not going backwards.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

I predict Ron Rivera happens.

Think whatever you want bro. I got ripped last year for saying 6-8 wins when everybody else was saying Super Bowl. Until our coaching staff shows me something to prove they know how to win against GOOD teams then I am predicting 6-8 wins. They do great against mediocre teams, but look at their record against winning teams.

And nobody cheers louder than me at the games. Ask the people who sit next to me in 529.

[Kuech the Sneak]

We still have tons of holes on the roster. I'd like to see the rest of the offseason play out before I make any predictions

[Snake]

9-7 +/- a game.

[SCP]

I will be the first in line to apologize and eat poo if we go 9-7 or 10-6.
