The 2011 Carolina Panthers Schedule

[beasonfanclub]

6-10......and in new orleans for new years ----- sweet

[AceMan]

I like our 2nd half of the season...seems like the perfect set-up for us to get our asswhooped in the 1st Half of the season (likely scenario) and Newton/Gabbert to come in during the 2nd Half and show us something if we draft them.

Could definitely see more "Let's draft Peterson/Green/Dareus now and get Luck/Barkley next year" supporters to come out...and I'm not really against that idea too much

[SOJA]

wow thats brutal outside the skins, zona, and the titans/vikings

I see a 6-10 year

[pstall]

there is a stretch where the team is in Charlotte for like a month. back to back home games,a bye and then ANOTHER home game. wow

[Montsta]

At least we didn't get that early bye bullpoo again.

[Marguide]

It's really not that tough looking outside of our division..

Agree.

And in reality, the strength of schedule thing means little pre-season. Teams come out of nowhere to be good, and others fall unexpectedly.

[Eazy-E]

Last years schedule looked harder Imo. Regardless, we will go 0-0 because there is no damn football right now. :(

Why is everyone acting like our schedule is so surprisingly hard?? If you didn't already know the 13 teams we would be playing then you are uninformed... The only surprises would be the order. But the teams were set in stone in Jan...

SoS means jack. We had like the 24th hardest heading into last year and it ended up being 4th by the end of the season.

If you take out division games then the Colts and Jaguars are the only teams that went 500 or better.

Like I said in the other topic, 6-10 is a pretty reasonable record. I think our defense will win a lot of games. Minnesota and Tennessee especially since they rely on the ground so much. Washington I am expecting to be a top five pick.

We should win 1 or 2 divisional games (Saints in week 17 could just be playoff resting like in 2009). Texans will be a fun game of horrible offense vs horrible defense and good offense vs good defense. Lions could be close. I am expecting the Bears, Packers, Colts, and Falcons to murder us. We always beat the Cards (in the regular season...) so that should give us a good start to the year.

All I've got to say about that.

How about Bears?

Packers? SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS :eek:

[teeray]

We will be undefeated heading into the Arizona game.

[Zithers]

How about Bears?

Packers? SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS :eek:

I somehow forgot about them >_>

4 teams at 500 or over out of 12 is still not that tough...

Just another point to try and be positive ;) Let's not forget that inside of our division, everyone pumped out wins due to facing garbage like the NFC West, Browns, Bengals, Redskins, etc.

Plus Atlanta and New Orleans had embarrassing showings in the playoffs... I'm not sure if they're as good as their records indicated.

4 out of 10 ;)

Add in the division and it's 10 out of 16. (more than half the games)
