Only 2 of 11 NFL.com analysts see us back in Playoffs


UNCrules2187

Recommended Posts

As the 6th seed:

Gil Brandt: Carolina Panthers. I think everybody's kind of writing off the Panthers, given how much receiving talent they lost, but the pass catchers they ended up with -- including first-round pick Kelvin Benjamin -- are as good as last year's guys. Plus, their defense is still excellent.

 

Elliot Harrison: Panthers. The defense is simply too stout for this team to not make the postseason, although we envision a drop to 10-6 or perhaps 9-7. Cam Newton must stay healthy.

Not even a winning season for us. It's our traditional 'down year'. And we've lost sooooo many of our top players since last season.

 

We sure didn't get picked by anybody to go 12-4 and win the division last year, so I'm all for proving 'em wrong again. Not sure 10-6 will get us a playoff spot though, so I'll agree that we drop off....... to 11-5 (hopefully not just wishful thinking).

I don't know why everyone cares so much about this.  Lets be honest, we had a ton of turnover on our team this season.  If Gross and Smitty were still on this team I guarantee they would be saying something different.

 

They are analyst and they are paid to analyze what they think will happen.  Heck I'm not even sure we can make the playoffs.  Let them talk.  It's not a knock on the Panthers or  "disrespect", it's opinion.  And everyone is entitled to one.

Basically, they are projecting the Bears to take our spot, and their offense is great but their D is a question mark

Division Champs

West - Seahawks (10 of 11)

South - Saints (10 of 11)

North - Packers (10 of 11)

East - Eagles (10 of 11)

Wildcard:

8 of 11 - Bears

7 of 11 - 49ers

2 of 11 - Panthers

2 of 11 - Lions

2 of 11 - Cards

2 of 11 - Cowboys

1 of 11 - Bucs

And the Cowboys was a joke, the one guy said it was "improbable" the other guy said "There is no rational reason for me to make this selection"

lol every last one of them picked the falcons to win the division

 

seriously what do i have to do to get that job.  everyone on this board knew the falcons were dogshit in the trenches and a prime candidate to crash and burn into the cellar because of their depth problems and that ultimately proved to be better "analysis" than what the heavy hitting national writers put out there.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
