If they can somehow go 4 of 8 through the first 8 games I will start to believe in this group. 

I guess you would after last year. Some people would have the next 9 games pencilled as a win.

If they have a 4-4 stretch I suspect it would be later when the rookies get more adapted, the offense gets on the same page especially the OL.

Week 1 close win. Go into bye at 6-4 (Ws at Saints, at Raiders, vs Falcons, at Commanders, vs Saints, vs Giants). Go 2-5 after the bye with losses vs Chiefs, at Eagles, vs Cowboys, at Bucs, and at Falcons, but manage to eke out the division at 8-9 (4-2 vs division) because rest of the division is also trash.

Easy enough to predict 4-6 wins and no playoffs, figured I'd try something different.

I’d take the record but that statline out of Bryce would be extremely underwhelming. I’d rather Bryce go 25/10 3800 yards and the defense suck if I had to choose.

No doubt I want more from him, but this is more in line where I expect things to be. If he keeps the mistakes low and efficiency high, he should get a stat line more in line with your expectations in a Canales’ system… much like Baker had.

I never bought the Falcons being anything so I'm not necessarily surprised by that one but the Bengals losing to the Pats only scoring 10 points is a stunner.

For sure.  Didn't see them losing to the Pats, but I did fear they would be suspect with no BC and after Burrow looked shaky even when healthy last year.  They've got some issues there.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
