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.

      Unc Basketball thread

      Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By Davidson Deac II · Posted

      His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
