Could Panthers win division at 9-7?

My prediction is that 10-6 is going to win our division, but I think it's definitely feasible that 9-7 could do the trick as well. Not for lack of strength in the division, but just because of the tough schedule (as I'm sure you very well know).

Yes.

No team in this division will win over 10 games this season. Everyone has just as brutal a schedule as we do. I still think we are the best team in the NFC South and I think we may be poised to go to the playoffs in back to back seasons for the first time since Fox came aboard.

For the first time ever, right? I sure do hope so. I'd like to finally have back to back winning seasons.

You are absolutely correct. You also aren't the only one wanting to see us put together back to back winning seasons, then maybe we can be taken a little more seriously as opposed to that team that tries, and tries but somehow fails to be a consistently feared and respected franchise.

I definitely agree. We've always been the team that has breakout years, and fails the following. Under Fox, that has been mostly due to injuries. Thats not good being as we have started off this year with some injuries. I think we will be alright though.

I don't see us winning the division. In fact, I don't see us with a winning record.

We just don't look good now. And don't give me "it's the preseason, stupid" excuse. If you can't stop the run now, you sure won't be able to stop it when it counts.

It truly hurts to say this, but I think Atlanta has the edge this year. I think they'll split with us and end up with a better record, just since their schedule isn't as tough. I just hope we can snag one of the wildcard spots. One wildcard will come from the east, and I don't see one coming out of the west. We just have to finish with a better record than Chicago and Green Bay.

Their schedule is not realy different. There are two diff games.

We have the Vikings and they have the Bears.....toss up

We have the Cards and they have the 49ers....slightly easier for them, but not by much. Cards won't sniff the playoffs. A healthy Seattle team will easily win the NFC West.

Other than these...we play the same teams.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
