  1. 1. What W/L?



Recommended Posts

Just from talking to other NFL fans, and looking at different media sources and networks, no one seems to be giving us a shot to be N.O. or Minnesota? ESPN matchup predictor has the Saints at a whopping 70 percent chance to win the game, damn. Which got me to wondering, whats your final schedule prediction now that we're about 3/4 through the season and basically in the home stretch? You think we have a shot to actually take down both Saints and Vikings? We're going into the most difficult part of the season with Falcons on the rise and these 2 games against division leaders in a row.

My personal point, my god we've been inconsistent this season. I think we will win one and lose one in the next couple weeks. We'll probably defy expectations and pull out a close win against the Saints, and Digs and Thielen will torch the hell out of us and we lose to the Vikings. I have us winning the rest though, and going 12-4. 

I'm thinking the Saints go on a slide. We beat them Sunday , and they could potentially drop both games to the Falcons. That has them finishing at 10-6 and us at 11-5. 

Falcons are heating up and starting to roll. I have them with a suprise win against the Vikings on Sunday, and I have them winning out until they lose the last game against us at their new Stadium. 11-5 Finish. 

So my final NFC South Predictions are 

Panthers 12-4

Falcons 11-5

Saints 10-6

Bucs 5-11

Good LORD Ladies and Gentleman. This means we have THREE huge games and two of them are divisional. We can't sleep on the last game of the season considering Falcons have a better NFC record than us, they could actually steal first place if they win out and beat us in the final game.

People talk about luck and how terrible we are but we have had one of the hardest schedules in the NFL. We beat the Patriots at home, we beat the Jets at home, we have won games we shouldn't have, and we have done this with a unhealthy team. Keep doubting and we will keep winning.

I am more worried about the Vikings than the Saints.  Dont get me wrong both can beat us or we can beat both, but they have just seemed to have our number in the last 6-7 years.  If we could beat NO we could almost afford to drop the Minn game and still get the division.  Of course we need to win all so we can get a bye.

I want to be optimistic, but its hard to believe 12-4 will happen.

1. We have the toughest remaining schedule in the NFC South. With the exception of the Bucs, we play four teams with a combined 29-15 record

2. As of late, our secondary has been giving up big, BIG plays - the last three games, they've allowed 16 plays of 20+ yards or more (would have been 21 if Julio didn't drop the TD)

3. A-Rod will most likely be back for the Packers game

4. The extent of Newton's thumb injury is unknown...hopefully Sunday's performance is not indicative of things to come

But, with that said....11-5 or 10-6 will probably still get us a playoff spot.

If we cant get up for the division next week, we don't deserve to get in. We are also DUE against the vikes, that have rolled us a few times recently. Not worried about Tampa, and we are better than GB even with Rogders. The Atl game will be a dogfight also. Im in the 12-4, 11-5 range. Everyone frets about last week but we all know how we are after bye's. Before that, we were playing consistently, we are on a 4 game winning streak btw, that's consistency.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
