Realistic prediction: 5-11 this season

I think the Saints and the Falcons are going to battle for the NFS South this year and the Panthers and Bucs will be a non factor. I hate to say that but that's just the feeling I have right now. I watched the Saints and the Falcons games yesterday and they look like they are already in regular season form while we look like we need another 3-4 weeks of training camp to look better and even that's a stretch.

I am a passionate Panther fan and come to this board every day and don't post much but I feel strongly about my predition - enough to post it.

Yes we are missing some key players and hopefully that'll make a big difference but the reality is our Oline is just a couple of injuries short of disaster, our Dline is extremely untalented (except Pep and EB is coming on but they'll just double team Pep anyways) which means our Dbacks will have to work much harder this year and I think you'll be seeing more and more of what happened last night when you have a weak Dline.

On a positive note I think Dwill and Smitty will have big years again and will be good for fantasy stats and I love our three headed monster at running back and we should score some points. It's just that an inevitable injury or two on our Oline will keeps the points low and our defense won't be able to stop anyone good (Brees, Ryan, etc). :(

Yeah, last year I predicted 12-4 and I was right - albeit very lucky.

What is everyone else's prediction? I know there will be some that are drinking the koolaid way too much and will say 12-4 which is absurd considering how the Saints and Falcons are looking right now. I think if we are healthy all year long we may be able to go 8-8 or 9-7 but if the injury bug continues to hit us it's going to be a long year and 5-11 or 4-12 may be our record.

Another Huddler slurping the Falcons and Saints. I was defending the Panther fanbase the other day, but with nobody having any pride in this team and everyone jumping on the Falcon/Saint bandwagon, I may have to think twice about that.

With as many solid players as we have on offense, we WILL finish better than 5-11. That's a non-starter. Plenty of teams have had horrible defenses but have been able to score a lot of points to win plenty more than 5 games.

Is it like this every preseason?

No way!! I remember guys were practicly jerking off on their computer screens after watching Dwill and Stewart burn up the field in the preseason. I felt great about the team leading into the season. Pep was still under a normal contract (not effing 17mil for a season), Stewart was looking awesome and our D looked great. If you recall the first part of our season our D was top 5 - end then the bye came along. :banghead: Something happened b/c that's when our D went bye bye however our offense really took off (so did Dwill - coincidence?).

This year is different. I've been a fan long enough to know that when our team stinks it up - it REALLY stinks it up!! It's ugly and I'm starting to sense this is the direction we are going after these first few games.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
