I think best case scenario at this point is 9-8, that is best case. 8-9 or 7-10 is more likely.

But this is to be expected and I still consider this team on track and trending up. I think going 3-0 really distorted expectations by some people not realizing those wins were garbage teams and they’re still rebuilding. 

If we can’t win at least 7 though, that is concerning. I don’t really care about playoffs or not because this team doesn’t belong there.

There are only so many types of loses a team can have in the NFL. We're coming off of two different types of loses:

Dallas - borderline blowout loss to a superior team

Eagles - blooper filled stupidity loss to an equally talented team.

The Dallas loss is the easy one because they would beat us 9/10 times imo.

The Eagles loss hurts more because that is a 50/50 game imo.

The losses that are going to be the hardest to take this season are ones where you can clearly see it could go either way, and then our players make obvious mistake after mistake to ensure a loss. That's the Eagles game in a nutshell.

The bottom line is that we're in QB limbo. This is where teams are trapped until they get a great QB who can win the SB. Sam will win the SB right after I win the powerball lottery. So we have to enjoy what we have and try and win some games, but the SB is not on the table. The SB is for teams with great QBs, and Sam is Sam. He'll be good here and there, and poop other games. Limbo. Same thing with Teddy. They both can manage the game, but they're not putting the team on their back except in rare moments.

The NFL has an answer for defensive heaven. They flag your defense to help the opposing offense generate more TDs and excitement in the game.

Yea I really hate that poo honestly. It's so hard to play defense anymore. I mean if an offensive player ducks you can be the one to get hit with the targeting and last night a defender got a horse collar called because the QB ducked and his hand went into the collar and tackled him.

I mean by the technical rule and all it was a flag but nothing you can do about that and it wasn't a from behind type of thing it was a duck. So yea the artificial scoring from flags is not good for the game.

we just lost to the eagles who literally tried to hand the panthers the game with two consecutive turnovers but the Panthers said HOLD MY BEER and turned the ball over more times 


The Eagles have a top 10 defense in terms of yards, and top 3 in terms of passing yards. 

We were down our LG and LT, so  we moved our RT to LT and had a 3rd round rookie have his first NFL start at RT.  We were out our starting safety and linebacker, oh, and did I mention that our biggest offensive weapon, that about 60% of our offense runs through, was out?  And still we would have won if we had just played a little better.

Lets see who is healthy this Sunday.

I haven't read most of the negative threads past the first post because they mostly boil down to "O-Line bad" or "Offense bad" or just droning on about how we never win anything as a franchise.

Yeah.  I'll bet those posters are fun at parties.

So the Ravens with Lamar Jackson are in QB limbo?

So the Cowboys with Dak are in QB limbo?

I mean...if we're measuring the ability to win the SB, those two(at least) are lacking that mainly 'cause they haven't even been able to get there.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Basbear · Posted

      I do think 8 wins is the top limit for this group. Honestly them not winning a game has similar odds.   So 0-8 is the range. Add in the owner, last six years, No real first pick while nfc south had theirs among other low picks aka they got better, lost Burns, luvu, djak and others solid vets(boz, bell, etc). Last second FG wins, never lead in the 4th, didn't score a single point the final 2 games. Im going with 2 dubs and I hope a surprise 8 wins claims the NFC south as they label the Panthers as the worst playoff team in NFL history!!

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      By strato · Posted

      Well we are in agreement overall on that decision just looking at the fallout differently.  I am not a personal fan of Williams from a few quotes I’ve run across but we weren’t taking him so I ignored him as a prospect. I never look at QBs unless we are looking.    But if things align a certain way this turns historically bad. The kind of thing children will read about when they grow up.

      DL doesn't look bad compared to other groups- Turtle, Dbrown, Clowney, Robinson, and wonnum. That's 5 guys that are or have been solid or above average for most of their careers. In fact Id say its the strength of the panthers. No ones too old or coming off a bad injury.  Depth-wise it is down right bad, just need to avoid injuries much like LB. I agree with you about finding just win, I got them match last seasons 2 wins.  *I still feel NFC south is wild enough that if the planets align, panthers *could cash in their lotto ticket winner and shock the world. Cousins setback and penix sucks. LOL @ carr and HC Dennis Allen. TB used their luck and bakers play comes back to earth. Young shows he deserves that #1 pick and evero calls a masterful year.......... .0000000001567399% chance. Thats the best I can hope for, tons of miracles.....
