Just FYI - Winning the first game

Recommended Posts

The only season where the Panthers lost the first game and still made the playoffs:

'05. Lost to the Saints 20-23, before knocking off the defending Superbowl champ Patriots in Week 2. Actually started the season 1-2 after a Week 3 loss to Miami. The team finished 11-5 and went to the conference championship. Every other playoff year, the Panthers started with a win and finished strong. There have been occasions like '99 and '04 where the team has been in the hunt until the final week of the season despite losing the first game.

I'll mention that in '02, the Panthers started 3-0 and then proceeded to finish 7-9, so it's not all about starting strong.

But what I'm getting at is, we can get a pretty good idea of how the Panthers will finish this year by their first game (I'd like to be proven wrong, Matt Moore). At this point, I'm going 7-9, because Fox doesn't finish any worse than that.

hahaa but we are equal with the falcons!!

Falcons lost an AFC game so wouldn't that put them in 3rd with us in 4th?

I'm not up on the rules enough to know. I'm pretty sure division games are more important than conference. Conference games are more important than League.

Somebody drop some knowledge on this.

    • TNT crew loves them some Colorado. I did hear one of them say "King" at one point, so I'm fairly sure that's who they're playing...lol
    • This is just a different type of draft. There's no top shelf compared to recent drafts. In the last ten years or so, there was a clear group. The issue with this draft is the best players are at lowered valued spots. Plus I said before Id always take the 8th best edge/de over the best safety. Panthers have always overrated LBs and RB compared to the league, but they did get safety right in terms of not valuing it. Mike Minter was about it, others die hards can bring up...  Still in order to better receive this draft, once you drop the positional value and just take the best player, its easier to understand. Very odd draft and the first time in history I can recall needing to do this. Just memeber coofus and NIL have changed the draft. There's lots more older players, cause now money to a guy that maybe 6th or maybe UD..... I mean Id take the college girls and 800k too, I think....
    • Good write up OP..... I may be the outlier here but I like our WR sans XL. Metchie is sneaky good and just like Dowdle last year he WILL BE the biggest under the radar singing of this year FA moves. I am warming up to the idea of Sadiq at 19 over defense. I'm just ready for every BY excuse to be gone, he doesn't have this or that. No he just sucks and we need to move on. Honestly I've said it before but this team has been depleted of so much talent over the years we really could go BPA and be fine. In DM I trust..........for now
