Our schedule is HORRIBLE

If I had to pick one sure fire loss it would have to be at Green Bay. I dont know why, but ever since I found out we play them at Lambeau when I first saw our schedule, I got a terrible feeling about that game and still do. I see that as our "we get blown out, throw away the game film" kind of game. Dont ask me why, I just do and cant shake the feeling.

Um ... the NFL schedule is all about mathematics. Please don't tell me some of you think the NFL gave the Aints an easier schedule.

Not really mathematical there Chachi. It's predetermined based on division matchups and order of finish. Not sure how they determine home and road though or who gets a true home opener. Seems we are on the road for game one more than not. Explain that math.

EDIT: never mind, saw this discussion already occurred with RR

It's mathematical because it deals with what places teams finish which is numbers and numbers means math.

Just busting balls Brooklyn.....but you know mathematics was a silly answer.

Ok, with the exception of moving a small market down and a big market up to help readership (i.e. +Bears, - Panthers), the power rankings this time of year tend to just be a copy and paste of last year's standings (despite the fact that an average of 5.5 teams get bounced from the playoffs each year). 

 

Anyway, a few friends and I got together and are seeing who can correctly pick the final playoff teams at various points in the season. The points are weighted to where the earlier picks count more, as the true playoff teams become for obvious as the season goes on.

 

My first set of picks are due tomorrow, and I wasn't sure what to do about our division. While researching, I took a closer look at our HORRIBLE schedule.

 

Panthers

-6 games against playoff teams 

-4 Away (Cincinnati, Green Bay, Philadelphia, New Orleans)

-2 Home (Seattle, New Orleans)

 

New Orleans

-5 games against playoff teams

-1 Away (Carolina)

-4 Home (Green Bay, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Carolina)

 

WHAT THE FRENCH!! TOAST!

 

I don't think it's that bad. The first six games are all winnable. The five game stretch after that (Green Bay, Seattle, New Orleans, Philadelphia and Atlanta) is brutal, but three of those are at home and after that the only real concerns are New Orleans (at NO) and Atlanta (at ATL). There's at least 8 games we have an edge in (2x Tampa, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Baltimore,  Cincinnati, Minnesota, and Cleveland) and I can't see us being swept by New Orleans or Atlanta. I wouldn't be surprised with a 10-6 or 11-5 finish, even with our current roster holes.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
