ALL IS NOT LOST

After a bit of analysis, and a bit of rum, it looks like the Panthers currently have the easiest second half strength of schedule in the NFL. 

 

If the dumpster fire can be put out, and they can pull off 5 of the final 8, they will end up at 8-7-1. That record got Green Bay into the playoffs last year. Philly away and New Orleans away are tough ones, but none of the other games can be ruled out.

 

Also, I've shown my work. See attached. The file is a little busy, I know. Just go by the color shading. Green=Easy, Red=Hard, season broken up into 4 quarters, with current number of wins by opponents. Enjoy.

 

Let the optimism and/or calling me an idiot begin!!

This week has to be the worst in terms of O-Line health so far. You do, however, make a valid point. Plus the Saints play all of their difficult remaining opponents at home. It's safe to say that no wild card team will come out of this division, so it's time to get it going.

If we lose tomorrow it is pretty much over. If this team can't beat the Saints at home with the Saints on an even shorter week... Then...... Welp

 

Pretty much sums it up. This game might also be the last straw for Ron and crew too if we lose.

I mean... I kinda agree I guess, but we would only be .5 games behind with our easiest schedule still ahead, so that might be over dramatic

I think that might be pushing it a little far. 2013 Coach of The Year won't be fired for what would likely be a 7-8-1 season plagued by injuries. If they lose all the remaining games....then you might have a point.

I don't think it is over-dramatic at all. We'll still need to play Philly, the Saints again (at the Dome), and one game in the Georgia Dome.

That's on top of the Browns, who are better than anticipated and run a 34 defense.

The Brows are better than expected, they also just got smoked by Jacksonville

    • 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
