Division Title at 7-8-1?

So, yesterday on ESPN radio, the national guys were talking about the NFCS and how poor it was.  They began discussing what it will take to win the division, and one of the guy really believed that we could win the division at 7-8-1.  That got me thinking, how would everyone feel about that?  I saw a lot of discussion in the offseason about finally having back to back winning seasons, even if we didn't make the playoffs, but with the way things are going, there is a possibility that just the opposite could happen.  I personally don't think it will, but thought the point being made was worthy of a conversation.  I also figured this would break up some of the Harper Sucks, Cason Sucks, and Bell Sucks discussion.

Three years from now when we remember this team as the first team to ever win b2b NFCS and the first Panther team with b2b winning seasons, is anyone really going to remember how bad we were?

 

I agree.  Win is a win and if the division is won with 8, so be it.  It's happened before.

I think that the negativity around here is at an all time high.

If you told me we'd start out 3-3-1 after 7 weeks, I'd have been disappointed, but some of y'all are just really trippin. We're going to turn this thing around.

We will continue to send the SeaChickens into their downward spiral, and I predict a "pie to everyone" thread by 4 pm Sunday.

Historically, the team hasn't been able to "turn it around".  Year after year it's the same poo and some skepticism is ok.

Would 7-8-1 be considered a winning season? Because technically it's not.

Given the least possible outcomes, this is what's up

 

Seachickens - Loss

vs Saints - Win

@ Philly - LOSS

vs Falcons - Win

@ Vikings - Win

@ Saints - Loss

vs Bucs - Win

vs Browns - Win

@ Falcons - Win

 

think 9-6-1 could be possible, but yeah, given a flop against the browns and falcons 7-8-1 is more than possible.

It really does all hinge on the Saints game next Thursday. Win that one and we are set up nicely to take care of business. Lose and it's back to hoping the division can be historically bad.

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
