Your November Win-Loss Predictions


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

I'd say 3-1 or 2-2.  A lot depends on our injuries.  I'm a bit concerned with our Oline situation now with Kalil and Norwell.  (And Velasco maybe not 100% either... yikes.)  Also, re: our Dline, sounds like Addison is still out for awhile.  Not sure about Edwards.

The Packers game is the toughest on our schedule.  Would be hard to get a win at full strength and with a full week.  With a short week after an exhausting late Monday night game in the rain, and with our injuries, I'm not sure we'll pull out the win, though I do believe the team's heart and unity counts for a lot, and that we have the belief that we CAN win it, which is huge.

I'm also worried about Dallas.  Dallas is pretty desperate for wins.  If Romo is back, and with Hardy having a grudge against us... on national TV on Thanksgiving, I'm a bit worried that Dallas plays on a whole different level.  Too much to prove... and us having an ULTRA short week playing games on Sunday & Thursday.  I fear we may be too beat up.  I'd been hoping we could rest some guys for at least parts of the Tennessee or Washington games, but given how thin we are on the lines right now, I'm not so sure it will happen.

In summary:  I fully believe we COULD emerge 4-0.  The team has shown me enough to believe they can do it.

But much more likely we'll come out of this stretch 3-1... and that's my "official" prediction.

But the combination of injuries and short weeks also means 2-2 could well be in play.  

It almost feels like extreme "Debbie Downerism" to concede the possibility of 2 losses right now.  I want to believe we'll be 11-0 or at worst 10-1 at the end of November.  But gosh, if at the beginning of the season we'd predicted 9-2, that would have seemed almost extreme optimism.   It's good to be a Panthers' fan right now!

I actually didn't mind Amini Monday night, unlike others.  Velasco is blah, but Amini was damn good in the run game.  

Wasnt his issue pass protection? I thought he was always at least decent in the run game? Seems like he just cant move laterally at all.

That is some solid logic but I'm going with 4-0. I see several ways that we can win. Mostly it's the intangibles. The will and the desire. The team finds a way to win. I see the GB game as an opportunity to protect our new weakness by gameplanning around it. If we do that, then I would say the coaching staff has taken the next step and are now doing whatever it takes to win. Like in NE they simply out plan and execute everyone. We win in GB game and we don't lose...evah!

    • I think that depends more on how high our pick is. If we have the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd pick i think we are drafting a QB rather than shopping FA market for a QB1. Curious if we’d be reluctant to start a rookie QB week 1 though. 
    • Hurney 2.0 and Fitts were so bad I don't know if it was intentional or they were that abysmally clueless. Fittershits panicked repeatedly being on the back end of positional runs while Hurney couldn't evaluate anyone outside of the 1st.  I can't figure out why Plummer still has a jersey. There's no reason. Dalton brings nothing to the table. If another QB gets cut that has given a glimmer of anything better than what we have, we should look, and that goes for every position.  I cant get over how much different this team could have been with a competent GM and having accepted the Rams offer for Burns. This franchise could have gone in a totally different direction. 
    • I thought tanking wasn't actually a thing and we were firmly against it though?
