Remaining Schedule: Who CAN we beat?


Kettle

Recommended Posts

Falcons, Bucs, Chiefs, DEN, OAK, Saints, Skins, Bears, Chargers. 10-6!

I think if we play together as a team, we can beat anybody. If the DEF plays like they did against the Bucs and Hawks, and our offense plays like it did vs the Saints and the Falcons. (minus Cam's fumble), we could beat a lot of teams on our schedule.

I think it's unlikely we go on the road and win a game because team chemistry is tenuous at best. If they come out of the bye having made some sort of miraculous turnaround I guess maybe. But right now I expect the road games to be losses.

I'm on the fence about the remaining home games. The loss of Kalil and having to move our OLine around makes me really worry about what will happen going forward. I am not optimistic.

In all cases the thing that kept us in games last year was our offense. Cam is having an off year for whatever reason and our offensive scheme is only making that situation worse. Until that problem is fixed every game is more likely to be a loss than a win to me.

Ah FUG it...we CAN win them all, but I don't see that happening. I'd venture to say we'll lose more games due to botched snaps than games we would win. The scary part in all of this... TCF (that's right, a 3rd person reference) can't even spin this in a positive light. We're just fugged

I suppose that's a fair statement.

We could win any of them. My answer is more for "Who are we likely to beat".

Honestly we could beat any team in the league on any given week. We were one play away from beating ATL and SEA. We could easily be riding high right now at 3-2 and tied for first in the NFC South, but that is not this teams fate. Football karma has bit us in the rear.

I wouldn't be shocked if we pulled off an eight game winning streak or something like that. I don't expect it, but it wouldn't blow my mind. We still have the talent. It's a matter of the coaches losing the locker room (if they ever even had it in the first place). If the coaches can get their act together, we can have a strong finish and very possbily squeeze in the playoffs. Anything can happen. The Giants were in fire Coughlin mode last year and look where they ended up.

I put more stock in the ATL game than the Seattle game as far as what we are capable of.

Seattle did everything they could to let us win that game despite utterly drumming us for most of the game. The most telling part about that game is how terribly their offense played and we still managed to lose.

Can? Anyone. IF they play at their best on both sides of the ball and get a break or two then they can eek out a win against every team left of the schedule but that's a HUGE if.

Will? if we scrape out another 2 wins this year (Bucs & Chiefs) Ill be shocked. Kalil to IR today said to me that they are content to mail it in.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
