Close Look at Panthers 2010 Schedule

Here's a look at the Panthers' 2010 opponents. They'll play teams from the NFC West and AFC North, as well as teams who finish in their corresponding spots in the standings from the NFC East and NFC North.

The Panthers could finish second in the NFC South with a victory Sunday against New Orleans and an Atlanta loss at Tampa Bay. Carolina and Atlanta (who split their games against each other) would both be 8-8, but the Panthers would have better divisional and conference records than the Falcons.

*A second-place NFC South finish would give the Panthers a home game against either Green Bay or Minnesota (NFC North) and a road game against either Philadelphia or Dallas (NFC East).

*A third-place finish gives them a home game against Chicago and a road game against the New York Giants. It would be the third straight season the Panthers will play on the road against the Giants, although this time the game would at least be in their new stadium.

The schedule will be released this summer. -- David Scott

It's amazing what schedule strength can do for your record. We'll probably have a great record, then have a tough schedule in 2011 and a not as good record.

the effect having a good season has on the next years schedule is almost negligible

This happens because you rotate which division you play in the NFC and AFC. Typically the NFC West has been the weakest and the NFC East has been the strongest (with the North in the middle).

I saw this before and it is actually INCORRECT. If the schedule rotation holds true to form, then the Panthers will play AT San Fran and be home versus St. Louis. (Other than that it is correct). In 2007, the Panthers were at STL and home against SF, so it would reverse in 2010.

Officially the NFL has not said that this will be the schedule, everyone is just assuming that this will be the case. The NFL has held off because of CBA negotiations and wanted to expand the number of games.

If we were to make no changes to our current roster, we'd go either 10-6 or 11-5 against that very easy schedule. That should be good enough for the playoffs and an exciting playoff run that will end with us not winning a Super Bowl. That will then lead to a disappointing 2011 season where we'll be 4-8 and eliminated from the playoffs where we'll then win our final four games to finish 8-8. Yet again, people will want John Fox to stick around because of how great we'll look in December 2011.

Yay. Talk about excitement...

      Dave Canales says Jalen Coker is our tentative #2 next season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.

      And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited
