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...

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
