So do you think we'll return to the playoffs next year?

[top dawg]

I doubt it.

 

 

Why are you here? Go enjoy your tainted victory motherfuger! 

[mc52beast]

We finally have a GM who knows what he's doing, a coach who has this team believing they can win and a franchise qb who with the right weapons would light up a scoreboard.... Gettleman will get what this team needs and we will be right back in the playoffs next season.

[KJ89]

No doubt.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

If Gettleman puts together another offseason like this last one we'll be fighting for the #1 seed

[BIGH2001]

Still gonna be tough to get back. If we don't win the division we are competing with at least two NFC West teams for a wildcard. Throw in at least one nfc north team like the bears and a giants team looking to rebound from a bad year. Can't waste a #2 seed in the playoffs I don't care how young or inexperienced you are.

[therealmjl]

There's no doubt in my mind.

[TheRed]

There are no guarantees, Panthers fans should know how tough it is to consistently make the playoffs. Our GM is going to need to put together another great offseason, and we absolutely have to shore up our OL, and get more talent at WR.

[Davidson Deac II]

Its always tough to get back.  But we have a solid defense, and a good qb.  We need to get better in a few areas, but we certainly will have a shot.

[Banana_Grabber]

I was going to make a 4 paragraph thread stating why we are primed for success. But this will do:

Yes.

[SmootsDaddy89]

If we dont Rivera will be fired. Don't get things confused, he's still very much on the hot seat if we fall flat out of the gate again next year.

[CharlottePanther]

Nope. Bucs have Lovie, Falcons will be back to form and the Saints will be the Saints. 8-8 at best and I thought that even before this loss. Our window was this season and we blew it. And dont even get me started on our schedule for next season.

[Ace_Aladdin]

We haven't exactly had a lot of success towards returning the next year.... do you think we'll finally do it?

 

 

I believe we have the defense to do it and.... yes we'll finally do it....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But if we go 6-10, I won't be surprised either.

 

Yest we are going to make it and we aren't going to be one and done either. We improved every year under RIvera and next season minimum bench mark should be the NFC championship game.

Yes.

 

Do it

 

We got 8 more months :(

 

5 Till TC

[Seal (SmittyIsOurSavior)]

Shittier record, but more experience and a better shot at the Super Bowl.

 

10-6 or 11-5 and a wildcard berth.

 

Although... Falcons, Saints, Panthers, Lions, Bears, Packers, Cowboys, Eagles, Giants, Seahawks, Niners, Cards, and then at least one random surprise team (Rams? Vikes?)

 

There are legitimately at least 3 playoff or fringe playoff caliber teams in each division. It'll be hard as hell, but I like our chances.
