NFL is weird....a team can win 4 games or 7 games and it really just come down to lucky breaks or unlucky breaks.  This team really feels like a 6ish wins type team.  They could win more or less.   The division is bad.  So, I expect bad a lot of games featuring bad football teams and that can result in wins. 

 6ish wins sounds about right.

The NFC South is so bad that hosting a playoff game isn't impossible.  But neither is picking in the top 5 next draft.

I mean, it would take injuries to knock Tampa down to being on par with us.

Nothing about this roster screams 9 wins

Some writers  are either 

a. Optimists

or 

b  don't know the team 

of course 2 things can be true at the sane  time 

i see 6 wins, tops and that is generous

Evero is one of the main reasons i feel that way   …it wouldn't matter what players he has…  thank God his contract is up this year .

Yeah, TB seems head and shoulders above the rest of the division with a sizable step down to ATL and then us and N.O. at the base of a cliff below that. I do think we have a good chance of being better than N.O. and if Penix has a sophomore slump 2nd in the division wouldn't be a crazy outcome but something pretty crazy would have to happen for us to catch TB.

Exactly. The NFC South is the most unpredictable division in football right now. I think people are overestimating the Falcons and underestimating the Saints (they can run the ball and play defense), but it really could be any of the 4 that win the division. Will be interesting to see it play out.

biggest concern for me in terms of record, the first 5 game slate is where the Panthers need to be picking up decent % of their total wins. 

and I think the Panthers appear to be limping into the season.   Past 2 years, that was has been talked about and it panned out as such.  Nothing says the Panthers are coming in hot....which they really need to IMO.

I think the 3 easiest division winners to call are the Bills, Eagles, and Bucs.

I'm not sure that Tampa is the clear favorite. Yes they have the best offense on paper, for sure. But that defense? Tampa's linebackers and secondary are suspect. I think they are going to get ripped apart in the short and intermediate passing game. The best player in their back 7 is Lavonte David and he is 35. And if Dean or Winfield get injured? Oof.

      Maybe, Bryce is clutch.

      Dane Brugler’s panthers mock pick

      By TD alt · Posted

      We took Luke when we had Jon Beason, and a hurt Jonathon Brooks when we had Chuba. Just noting.  I don't think teams are going to pass up on an impact player regardlessly if whether they need something else. There's a good argument that drafting an inferior player, and especially an obviously inferior player, based upon need is a pathway to failure.  I'm glad we took Tetairoa McMillan even though there were arguably bigger needs.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By mav1234 · Posted

      As much as I'd love Cam or Mahomes I'd also settle for a QB that is at least better than average at something other than 4th quarter comebacks/game winning drives. He's literally bottom third in the league in most categories (yards, completion percentage, int percentage/turnovers, YPA, IAYPA, QBR and QB rating) and right around average in a couple others, notably TD % where he is 15th and YAC/PA where he is 9th. If Bryce can improve I'll be happy with him. But all this stuff about us asking for perfection / insane ability is a bit ridiculous. Most of us "haters" just see a QB that is basically below average over his career to date and has shown relatively little consistency in his third year.  NFL offenses don't need 400 yards every week at all, but they do require a QB that can move the ball, and Bryce struggles often with that (hence why our overall offensive rank is so bad despite an overall good rushing rank).
