yeah, if it happened, great.. and maybe I doubt we'll make the playoffs regardless, so I'm not putting much stock into the upcoming year. There is a lot of change coming up and retooling this franchise.

for once, fans need to be patient..

Titans (home)

Lions (away)

Colts (away)

Bucs (away)

Falcons (home)

Texans (away)

Bucs (home)

Saints (away)

Even winning all the homE games, winning 2-3 road games would suffice. Unfortunately the schedule is hard.. So you're probably right man.

They would not keep the current sched. They likely would rework it to 6 division games (each team home and away) and 2 nondiv games (1 home 1 away).

If they really do play an 8 game season, then they better rework the schedule too. I'm sure there will be teams that only play 2 or 3 home games while others will have 5 or 6 home games.

So you'd rather not have a season at all?

How could you not care about making the playoffs, even if it is in 8 games? Playoffs are playoffs man.

I'm just saying it would be a crappy year for football and winning, what, five games would mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

An eight game season is a failure by the league, and by extension a failure by our team.

The only way I would really see it as a positive is if we won the whole thing. Which I don't think would happen.

I understand where you're coming from.

Still, the experience itself would be very good for the team. Especially with the rookies and 2nd year people. They would definitely grow more with all this if they did somehow make it to the playoffs. Even if for one game. Experience is always a good thing.

I wouldn't necessarily call it a failure either. Especially if you weren't expected to win 2 out of 8 games and actually made it into the playoffs to begin with.

Right and I can see what your saying, but I just think an 8 game season will consist of more randomness than anything. There will be little time to prepare and get everyone on the same page, so I think games will be won by individual players making plays and not team chemistry or concepts.

I'm just saying that I would take more positive things away from a 7 win team in a 16 game season because of the sample size and having more time to develop a "team". I think it would mean the offensive and defensive systems are sound. Winning 5 or 6 games in an 8 game season could end up being nothing more than luck. I wouldn't take it to mean a lot.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
