On the morning after the worst game of his career, a game that fell on his 34th birthday, Jake Delhomme left his family, his friends and his presents at home and took a drive. He ended up at the Panthers' practice facility, where he watched a replay of the 33-13 loss to the Cardinals in the NFC divisional playoffs. In that game, Delhomme threw five interceptions and lost a fumble as the NFC South champions were humiliated on their home turf.

"I could have replayed it in my mind, but I wanted to see it," Delhomme says. "I tried to do too much, especially in the second half. [The season] ended on a bad note, and I had a large part to do with it, but I wasn't going to run away from it. I'm embracing the challenge.".............

He also has the Pats and Bears in the SB

9-7 is a good "It could go either way so i'm covering my ass" prediction -- A win or two more, we're in the playoffs and he can make up some excuse like the Panthers got lucky in a couple games, the defense pulled it together, whatever. Lose a couple more, then he can say the team's weaknesses were worse than expected, blah blah.

Oh, and he's always up the Pats ass no matter what.

Pats Bears in the SB??? OK...

King is a hack... not because of that... he just is.

[Kettle]

i'm going to the bathroom to flush what this is worth

[PanthaSan]

Hahahaha...

What a dumbass. I think Jake will bounce back and am not concerned.

FWIW, it took me an hour to write this. I get hypnotized by MDNC's avvie...

anywhere from 7-9 to 9-7 is safe.

any bozo can predict 9-7 pretty safely, esp considering where the team finished last year.

[Fiz]

what the hell the bears

[Hoopty]

The Bears won't even win thier division.

[dpanthersman]

9-7 is deff a safe prediction. i dont think theres any team in the NFC thats that much better than any of the others. IMO an 11-5 record can get a first round bye and a 9-7 could easily be a wild card

[rayzor]

bears actually look good, imo. i don't know about superbowl good but definitely playoff good.

vikings will look good until farve falls apart in week 10 or so. he's starting the year in worse shape than he did with the jets last year. green bay is installing a defense that will be really hard to transition to and will hurt them all year. the lions are the lions.

if the bears get only a little better on defense then they will have the division.

[MadHatter]

Green Bay will take the division this year. Sorry Bears' fans....Cutler is not enough.

I think 9-7 could easily win the division this year.

[Dragon Spooker]

Imo Every team in the NFC South is going to have a rough time this year.

I wonder if 9-7 or 10-6 might be the record of the division champ?

bears will sweep the packers.
