i say...yes but the dolphins will be tough with parcells having another year to rebuild the team..

on a side note did we face a team that ran a 3-4 DEF last year...in the reg season.

There are just two teams left in the league the Panthers have never beaten (Houston and Miami). They'll get a shot next season against the Dolphins...The Panthers will play twice at the Meadowlands, against the Jets and Giants...Carolina will play in the Dallas Cowboys' new stadium. -- David Scott

Didn't realize the schedule, minus the dates, where already out. For those who didn't open the link here is the breakdown.

Home Games - Buffalo, Miami, Philly, Washington, Minnesota, Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa Bay

Away Games - New England, New York Jets, New York Giants, Dallas, Arizona, Atlanta, New Orleans and Tampa Bay

The good news is I think 8-0 at home is very doable.

The bad news is I think 2-6 on the road is also very likely.

Houston is actually improving that team as of late. The decision to draft Mario Williams over Bush and Young shows that they aren't another Detriot or New Orleans type team that doesn't understand the importance of the lines.

To be honest, a Houston/Carolina Super Bowl isn't that far-fitched to me. I think both will be in the playoffs next season. Probably not a very likely senerio but more likely than most.

the schedule is tough. its actually the 2nd toughest in the league. but if we can get thru it with winning record it will make us a better team, looking at the schedules of all the teams in our divsion i realy think 10-6 will win the division

it's been out for a few months but, with the exception of minny and zona, we really have known about all of it minus what was home/away games for several years.

schedule will be tough. that is the truth. i do agree that it is very winnable. the good thing is that by the time we get done with it we will probably have played 6-7 of the top ten teams in the NFL by season's end.

if we can go into the playoffs having played those teams i feel really good about our chances against anyone.

Yeah, I knew that the teams were all set up in advance but I didn't think the NFL released the home/aways portion of it until they released the dates as well. Like I figured that between Arizona and Minnesota one game would be home and one away but I didn't know which one was which. Make sence?

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
