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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
