"Matt Welch: 10-7 (Wild Card)

But the time to strike for a Wild Card berth is now for Carolina. Pieces are in place. The defense was much improved and got even better through free agency this offseason. I look for the defense to hold teams enough for Carolina’s offense to get wins. All of this, of course, rests on Sam Darnold’s shoulders. Until proven otherwise in Carolina, I’m on the Darnold train here. I’m under the thinking that all QBs stink it up in New York. So I’m betting on him being efficient enough to move the ball and score points, as long as Christian McCaffrey stays healthy. If the offensive line holds up and Darnold makes good decisions, I’ll give them a playoff spot."

But what if..   the football gods played a cruel sick joke on us and we ended the season 7-9-1.   I wouldn't know what to do.  Cry? laugh? Reevaluate my life? Get a divorce?

Honestly, hard to find too much fault with these predictions.  Bucs on paper are the clear favorites in the NFC South, IMO the Panthers and Saints have good rosters overall but major questions at QB and OT for the Panthers and secondary for the Saints.  I likewise see the Falcons bottom out this year.

I'm all onboard with the 10-7 prediction and hopefully a wild card.  Ultimately, it would be nice to just be in the race all season long at this point.  

2017 and especially 2015 are getting long into the rearview mirror at this point... Rhule needs to prove his meddle at the NFL level this year and at least have a team competing for the playoffs.

8-9 is my prediction as well

[L-TownCat]

The GOAT finally shows his age, Saints QB experiment fails, ATLoL…

Carolina will be in the mix for a division title.  11-6 or 12-5.

1. If Sam plays poorly. Well, TBH, I don't see that happening. So Imma pass on this one.

 

2. If Sam plays decent. I think 8-9 would be about right.

 

3. If Sam plays well. 10-12 wins sounds good.

 

4. If Sam plays great. Oh Wee Mayne.

6-10-1

[Khyber53]

I hate to say it, but  7-10 is  how I'm seeing it at the moment. Darnold is too big of a question right now and I've got to see major improvement in the defense before I think Snow can handle the job. O-line is still a big question mark.

The only honest to goodness improvement I can see over last year and bank on, is that CMC will be back. He can make a huge difference and that gets them two more wins over last season's total.

I sure hope I am wrong about this, though.

I think they're all right
