Here is why I think the Panthers will go 9-7 at best

The reason i think this is because I don't think they can beat top teams and I think the snuck in a couple of victories lagainst average teams last year that they will not this year.

The first two victories of the season looked great at the time but it ends up that these were both .500 teams

Then loss to the vikings who ended up 10-6.

Then beat the falcons. This is a big time win i think.

Then KC - crap

Then NO - crap

Then Arizona - 2nd big time win although still a 9-7 team

Raiders - Crap

Lions - Crap

loss to Falcons - looked terrible

Green Bay win - 6-10 team

TB - good to win in division 9-7 team

Denver 8-8

Giants - better team than Carolina but put up a fight

Saiints - crap

CAROLINA's two quality wins were Arizona and Atlanta?

Carolina barely did better than 500 against the division - a 2 point win against NO at the end of the season ensured that they did

Carolina did not beat a team with a record better than 9-7 except Atlanta

Don't get me wrong, carolina beat the teams it had to beat and that is what it is all about. I hope they do it again. But there is no way they do well against Patriots, Giants, Miami, Philly, Minnesota. And if they don't then they need to run through the division which they will not.

before you get all riled up, i love the panthers and hope they do well. i am buying PSLs for a crap load of $$ and i hope they win the superbowl. But i don't think they can win big games.

Flame away!

And what does this have to do with this upcoming season? We have a different DC and that will change everything. But since you and others are already writing off the season why bother watching? Just wait until next March and come back. The real fans that believe in this team will still be here waiting on you.

San Diego had Merriman for that game which totally changes their defense.. not to mention we didnt have Smitty for either game.. and we are like a .250 team at best without Smitty in the past..

Then loss to the vikings who ended up 10-6.

playing on the road is hard no matter who it is in the NFL.. we just had a bad game that day.. our run game wasnt churning and we got down early..

Then beat the falcons. This is a big time win i think.

nice win against Matt Ryan, even though it was only his 4th game..

Then KC - crap

Then NO - crap

this was a big game IMO.. it was a pretty good bashing against a good team.. the way our D held them on two 4th and 1 plays..

Then Arizona - 2nd big time win although still a 9-7 team

this was a great game that showed we could score points.. we never really had gone blow for blow, TD for TD.. but we did and forced the turnover that won the game- Beason INT..

Raiders - Crap

Jake did everything to throw the game away.. but we still managed out a win.. overcoming obstacles- even if they are of our own making..

Lions - Crap

loss to Falcons - looked terrible

we didnt look terrible.. we just got beat.. our offense was alright, our D let Turner burn us for 4 TDs

Green Bay win - 6-10 team

it is hard to go to Lambeau* in November/December and win.. this was another offensive showing.. Smitty won this one for us though.. he bailed us outta 2 games this year.. this was 1

TB - good to win in division 9-7 team

TB defense is always tough, that night we exposedd them, but it was another shootout regardless of the bashing we put on them.. it was always a game..

Denver 8-8

all we had ta do was stop Cutler..

Giants - better team than Carolina but put up a fight

probably the greatest game in the 08 season- in the NFL- period.. great game with no trash talking and excellent show of sportsmanship.. our D lost it for us in the 2nd half.. we were up and shuda won

Saiints - crap

the Saints are a totally different team in their Dome.. Brees was trying to break the record.. our D let them come back in the game, but this is the other game where Smitty bailed us out with that catch..

CAROLINA's two quality wins were San Diego, Chicago, Atlanta, Green Bay, Arizona and 2nd Bus game & 2nd Saints game?

Damn HP....you are WAY over-analyzing a 12-4 team. We have a fresh set of coaches, one of the best OLines and RB duos in the league, and a qb with something to prove...quit being so negative and let the pieces fall where they may; the season hasn't even begun.

trying to be realistic.

I love the attitude on this board that if you don't predict 12-4 you aren't a true fan.

As I said I am buying PSLs and will be at every game with bells on.

This is the NFL. Nobody is really good. Every team that goes 12-4 "sneaks" in some wins. That is the difference between being 12-4 with a first round bye and 9-7 and sitting on the couch. You gotta stay healthy and "sneak" out 3 wins.

This analysis could be used on 6 or 7 playoff teams every year in the NFL.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
