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.

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 .

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

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.

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

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.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
