6 of our last 8? Meaning we finished 2-6? Not sure that’s accurate. Check the math. 

I looked back and marked the Packers win as something of what we assumed would be a turning point for us. I missed the game we split with the Bucs. So 3-5 in the last 8 is correct. Slightly better. But still not at all ideal for how I expected us to finish the season.

The reason I caught it was I was looking at next year and the annual Bryce suck fest to mark the beginning of the schedule, and thinking 2-6? Then we will be 2-8 in our last 10? Ugh.

yeah we will be sitting at the adult table for sure. Just might have lost two of our recent 1st round picks, long term, Saturday. Horn and the concussions, 2 in 6 weeks or something? 
Icky will be hard to replace and still be able to carry out whatever plans they had made for FA and the draft.

You never know. Panthers played 7 playoff teams this season. I only see 6 for next season.

Went 2-5. Not including actual playoffs. So 2-6.  Rams and Green Bay were the wins. 
We were tough for teams, most of our games anyway. And we’re such a borderline playoff team. There will be a couple of teams out there that weren’t playoff teams that will hurt us probably. 

Too early to really say but I don’t like the way we stack up right now in our own division. They are all drafting well ahead of us (those that have picks). Atlanta might be in a little trouble.

I just realized something and couldn’t edit above… post it here.

If you use the 2025 playoff teams to project 2026, you have to use 2024 teams to evaluate this year on those same terms. 

2024 playoff teams we faced this year were

TB (2)

Green Bay

Rams 

Bills  

I think that’s it. We went 3-3 including Saturday. 
 

5 games but only 4 teams. We can call it 5. 
 

So, more next year.

Certainly higher profile but if think their recent track record of hires indicates they’re not well thought of us among the coaches. They’re also kinda weird about “culture hires” which is how you end up with guys like Joe Judge.

Falcons firing (promoting?) rich McKay again is a good move, and they have basically unlimited resources in Atlanta. Plus you get to play in the nfc south.

He also just might take a year off

Looks like it’s the Giants.

    • CB Michael Jackson, Carolina Panthers Last offseason, the Panthers re-signed Jackson to a contract that averages just $5.25 million across the two years of his deal, which ranks only 40th among cornerbacks. However, Jackson rewarded Carolina with an excellent season, as his 83.5 PFF overall grade was the third-best among cornerbacks across the entire year. More specifically, from Week 7 on, his 90.7 PFF overall grade led all players at the position, as did his 91.4 PFF coverage grade. In addition, he also allowed a passer rating of just 42.8 during this period, which paced all corners. Jackson capped off his 2025 campaign by being the best player on the field in Carolina’s wild-card loss to the Rams. On eight targets, he gave up just one reception while forcing four incompletions and recording an interception as well https://www.pff.com/news/biggest-free-agent-bargains-of-the-2025-nfl-season-sam-darnold-mike-jackson-and-more
    • RB Rico Dowdle, Carolina Panthers Dowdle signed a textbook example of a “prove-it” type of deal with Carolina during the 2025 offseason. The former Dallas Cowboys runner signed a one-year deal that was worth just $2.75 million, which ranked only 33rd among the annual average earnings of all running backs — essentially meaning that he was not paid as a starter for last season. However, that did not stop Dowdle from racking up the 14th-most rushing yards among running backs with 1,076 during the regular season. Further, Dowdle was essential over a five-week stretch between Weeks 5-9 when the Panthers went 4-1 — recording half of their wins during the entire season over that window. During this period, his 652 rushing yards led all running backs, with the gap between him and the second player (Jonathan Taylor) being the equivalent to the gap between Taylor and the 10th running back. In addition, Dowdle’s 85.0 PFF rushing grade also led the league during this period. Despite not being paid as a starter, Dowdle had a huge impact on the Panthers during a crucial time of the season
