Mike and Mike have us 8-8 & 9-7

[Kuech the Sneak]

If we start off 1-3 or 1-4 then I doubt our season is going anywhere

I really don't know if there is a harder team to predict then the Carolina Panthers. We went 7-9 last year and thats with:

-Literally giving the game to the Falcons

-Having a 10 point lead IN THE 4th QUARTER against the bears, and losing

-Being up 8 with 20 seconds left vs the Buccs, and losing

-Having 1st and goal vs the Seahawks to win the game and missing all 4 times

-Losing to the Chiefs after their emotional suicide (We would win 8 out of 10 times)

-(not sure if we would have won) But get completely screwed on about 3-4 straight plays against Dallas to end the game

Without even kidding we seriously should have been at least 10-6. But at the same time, the good teams completely destroyed us (Giants, Broncos), and we played like complete poo in games that we won but shouldnt have (Redskins, Raiders, and the last 3 quarters vs the Eagles). I feel like the Panthers are one of the only teams in the league that I wouldnt be surprised if they went 5-11 or 11-5. They are absolutely impossible to predict.

That being said, i dont care how good our DBs look against Armanti or Ginn, I feel Juilo, Colston, and the like will abuse them. Plus our right side of the line is atrocious and I think im the only one on this forum who remembers just how terrible our DLine was last year amd theres no way I feel Star magically fixes that. Better? Yes. Good enough to lead us on a playoff run? No way. Just throwing a number out there, i say 8-8

To tell you the truth I don't know what this team is going be like but it all comes down to the o line if they can block and create holes we should be a 10 win team.

Considering Greeny doesn't have an ounce of football knowledge of any sort then this may be a blessing in disguise..

I predict a season with 16 regular season games with a win total between 9 & 11 games. It doesn't all come down to Cam like most of the so called experts predict. If the running game is clicking this team will be seriously dangerous. I'm not so worried about the secondary of the defense because I think the front 7 will be very strong.

One of if not THE toughest schedule in the league...

 

I'd be estatic with 9-7...but expect around 6-10 or 7-9.  8-8 I think we can do, but we can't have horsecrap games like the one in Atlanta last year.

Strength of schedule isn't a good indicator of a teams success. It isn't really a good indicator of anything.

I know...teams are different year to year, but it still plays in the heads of any competitor whether they want to admit it or not.

Herm Edwards had a good quote whil discussing this exact thing the other day......

 

"It's not who you play, but how you play the day you play".

[Jangler]

meh, Mike likes the Jets.

[KillerKat]

i say 7-9, 8-8 with the current oline. 9-7, 10-6 if they improve it before the season.

[Mr. Scot]

meh, Mike likes the Jets.

 

is he still pushing the notion that Sanchez is a franchise QB?

This team is going to make a lot of the "experts" look stupid this season.....even though making many of them look stupid is not really that big of a task.

Although this board has its share of idiots and I can be one of them once in a while), I find that there are some people here (you being one of them) who know football and the panthers better than the "experts."
