USA Today Predicts Panthers to lead NFL at 13-3

[GoobyPls]

I thought 13 wins was in reach with Norman, but now I'm expecting around 11

13-3 is a reasonable prediction but I think we finish 12-4. Overall I expect we will be a better team(offense especially) than last year but we will have a worse record.

Yeah, I'm torn between 12-4 and 13-3 in coming up with a season prediction.  Hoping and thinking we can do even better, of course, but these seem realistic given having to play two tough divisions and all the West Coast travel, as well as all the turnover in our secondary.

Nice.  They definitely have the AFC West inverted!

What about our mediocre receivers, aging injury prone running back, and worst in the league secondary? I think they should be picking us for about 8-8 at best. We need to keep that level of disrespect up there.

I like it better when we are predicted to stink, no chance of guys getting stuck on last year's success 

well.........thats pretty much the only option we've had over the last 20 years.

Time to move on..........get used to being a contender and being hunted/hated.

I can get onboard with that win total for the regular season!!!

I noticed that SF is 8-8 and LA is 5-11. Like, what is this guy smoking bro give me sum of that poo

If we're better offensively this year than last, we're gonna be a juggernaut with Cam getting another MVP.

I agree with the record thing but I do have my concerns about our secondary and having to score 30+ every game to get a bye.

The fascination the media has with the Colts is unbelievable...wonder what their excuse will be when Jax sweeps them this year.

13-3 is a fair guess. The time is now. The majority of the teams we'll face this season will be inferior to our own. It's been a long time since I could say that with complete confidence. What a time to be a Panther fan.

Dallas with 11 wins?!?!

 

Romo had better get them to Dec at 11-0 then, before he chokes.

The only 2 games that I'm worried about are the Vikes (early in the season for our CB's, and they're pretty good) and the Chargers (the end of a rough on-the-road stretch). Obviously anything could happen, but 13-3 sounds about right.
