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

This is Homer time of year.  Perfect season. 

That being said, the more I kook at our defensive line, the more that I don't see the team winning a single game. 

Hope I'm wrong. 

 

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.....

As of right now IMO... 

Raiders, Bears (rookie QB), Commanders (rookie QB), Broncos (rookie QB), Giants (Europe game), and Cardinals seem winnable.  Throw in some division wins (Canales hopefully splits with Bucs, and I could see us splitting with the Falcons OR Saints if we make the right improvements...

To me that's 8 wins if everything goes our way (Bryce progresses, Evero's defense is playing great, running game is working, XL or Mingo turn into real threats, Johnson plays as good as he did in Pitt, etc...)

Realistically I'm thinking 6 wins and I think that could be a successful season with a new coach inheriting a 2-15 team.  6-11 with our offense looking better and playing competitive football and I'll be happy.

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!!

Defense is fine. Evero being back is the most important thing for the defense. He will have them playing solid and the drop off from Burns to Clowney is negligible (if not and improvement, becuase Burns was lost on run support). Horn if he plays is way better than what we had last season and I do think they'll still bring in Gilmore or a vet once we get closer to week 1.

Team's win total focuses solely on Bryce and putting up points and Legette, Johnson and Mingo improving. I wonder if Canales will get Bryce out of the pocket and roll him out more where Bryce is much better. Reich and Brown seemed hell bent in making Bryce learn from the pocket where he wasn't comfortable. Also more Bryce runs/scrambles to keep the defense honest.

I think it is also I don't think they were very good last year

New (old) coach in Harbaugh, Herbert with Ladd Mcconkey as his new slot guy? I don't think it'll be a cakewalk. They went O-line in round 1 as well so we'll have to revisit this after preseason

It’s hard to describe but they have a lot more holes than you think they do. It’s one of the reasons they had a whole office change over, all these pieces they acquired over the years didn’t pan out…sound familiar.

We'll see, they're still coming in around 15 in the power rankings on most sites, we're obviously in the 30's. If we swapped QB's yes I'd give us the win lol.

I believe we held that title in 2013
