Xavier Woods on NFLN Total Access

5 minute video at link. So, after Xavier's glowing report, they proceeded to totally disparage the Panthers.

They've been previewing NFC South teams this week and Wednesday was the Panthers. They predict a 9-8 record, 3rd in the division. Bryce's predraft interview was played. They do not think very highly of our WR room. Did not mention our running game at all. Mentioned the injuries to our guards suggesting we won't be able to keep Bryce protected. (But isn't Brady Christianson back from injury?) Also feel there will be defensive players that won't be able to fit Coach Evero's scheme and that will be a big problem. No details given. Quite pessimistic. No excitement about anything. It was as if they wanted to depress the Panthers' fan base.

Same old same old.

Let ‘em hate underdogs have the most fight

I mean I am ok with a 9-8 record.  That means we are being heard again. 

And Dave Burns?  (1:56)  lol

The guy predicting the record admitted he was a Chicago fan and wanted us to do bad so they can get a higher pick.

There's no way in hell three NFC South teams post a winning record.

Dangit, was hoping it was the other Xavier Woods.

Exactly my thought while I was reading the OP. 9-8 will likely win the NFCS

[ickmule]

He’s being a little generous.  I have us at 7 or 8 wins at best.

Good interview.  Thanks for the link @GRWatcher.  As for the rest of it, the media has no clue about the Panthers.  They have just read a few headlines for years and formed opinions of no real value.  Hope some of that crap makes it to print so it can be bulletin board material.

With all the changes it is predictable we will be seen as not very good.  I hope we can catch some fire and surprise some folks this year.
