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

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
