I think we can certainly be 7-3 or possibly even 8-2 going into our Bye week. Yeah it sucked losing to the Eagles and getting outcoached, but moving on, what do you guys think our record will be coming out of the Bye and how well the team does in the next four games?

For me I can see us winning on the road at Chicago and The Bucs. Our team has proven it can win on the road in a tough environment which is why I give us the nod for the win in Tampa. The Falcons at home is the one I'm unsure of. We can certainly beat ATL, but the question is which team and which friggin Shula shows up for that game. We will also, hopefully, have Mat Kalil back by then and maybe Coleman, and having them back for that game would be huge. Then we have the Dolphins at home, and that should be a definite win, seeing as they barely beat the Chargers and Titans, and lost to the Saints and woefully awful Jets. The loss to the Eagles sucks but in the overall picture is not all that bad, especially if we win at least 3 out of the next 4 games.

Have to beat the Bears and Dolphins. We are way more talented than those teams. There is no excuse not too 

have to beat the Falcons at home. Cannot afford to drop another home division game. 

A win in Tampa would be icing on the cake, but we have to take care of the other three. With a healthy luke and a mini bye here, we should do just that.

Yep, another home loss to a division rival pretty much ensures we won't win the division tbh

Agreed. A quick look:

Wk 7: Bears (1-4) W

Bears have been below average on both sides of the ball. They have some play makers in Howard and Trubisky (maybe), but not other than some solid pieces on defense in Akeim Hicks, Amos, and Freeman, they are very beatable.

Wk 8: Buccaneers (2-2) W

Lots of talent added in the off-season but have not put it all together yet. Winston is good, not great, and likes to throw some picks. In classic panther fashion we get a lead and go into Ron mode to bleed the clock,  but come out with the win.

Wk 9: Falcons (3-1) L

Seem to have our number lately. Although the offense have fallen back to earth a bit, their defense is good. Another frustrating loss like our Eagles game.  

Wk 10: Dolphins (2-2) W

Can't get the offense rolling with solid pieces on offense. Defense is just average, but R. Kalil and Turner stuff Suh at the LOS and we put up a bunch of TDs. Take a W into the bye.

Wk 11: Bye

Outcome: 7-3

Good point. So far the Falcons offense does not appear to be on the same level it was last year.

Thank god history shows we turn up in December, with 5 December games

We suck at home, good on the road. 5 road games, 5 home games. We can really fug around and be 9-7. Anything less than a SB to me is a failure. I can be convinced a NFCCG is enough. Anything less, how can we keep the coaching staff knowing we never have back to back .500 seasons. It'll be a huge waste of Cam and Luke keeping them.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
