Do you believe we make the playoffs next season?

[Khaki Lackey]

It's funny how everyone believed this time last year and no one does this year.

I see us winning 9 games next year. Is it enough to make the playoffs? Maybe.

[Monday Night Shyamalan]

Too early to tell ... NO will be a force again with Peyton back and ATL will be strong (I bet they decline but will still pull out 9-10 wins). The NFCS could reclaim the top conference in the NFL.

However we have the talent. Cam going on his 3rd year, Keek running the D in his 2nd year (hopefully a run stuffer with the 1st pick in the draft). I think if anything, we squeak in on a wild card and lose the first game, but won't be surprised if we just miss the playoffs with a 9-7 record. I still feel we are another year removed before we become a serious threat.

[Growl]

We better. Is all I have to say. We better. There is no "no" option for this franchise when it comes to making the playoffs next year. We better.

[Kevin Greene]

Even if Atlanta and New Orleans had rosters with talent equal to ours, their Head Coaches far out class ours.

an almost impossible amount of stuff that went wrong this year will have to go right for us to make the playoffs

[Happy Panther]

I've picked our team to go 6-10 or 7-9 every year since I have posted here.

I am now picking 10-6 for 2013

[E CaT PanTHer]

defense is gonna be stellar next year, probably top 5 in the league. Rivera will be better at managing the clock and Chud will call more sophisticated plays in crucial situations.

I see us going 12-4.

[Brooklyn Bully]

Too soon to tell.

[GotSwag?]

I think we will. Cam got back to being Cam and we found ourselves a stud MLB in Kuechly. The DL played very well and the young guys in the secondary played better and better as season went on. Just looking at the roster, I think we make the playoffs.

QB - Cam

RB - Williams and Stewart

FB - Tolbert

WR - Smitty, LaFell, Murph, Adams, Edwards, GETTIS <---would be huge if he came back strong

TE - Olsen

OL - Gross, Rook who I can never spell, Kalil, Hangartner, Bell -- guys like Williams, Austin, and Byers as depth

DE - Johnson, Hardy, Alexander

DT - D.Edwards

OLB - Beason, Davis, Anderson

MLB - Kuechly

CB - Gamble, Thomas, Norman

S - Godfrey, Campbell

We will have to cut some guys of course to get under the salary, but with a good draft, and luck injuries wise, I dont see why we couldnt make the playoffs. Some will say Rivera but seemed guys finally bought into what he wants whenever jobs were on the line. I think it continues....

[Jackofalltrades]

I think we'll have a winning season, but that doesn't guarantee anything. Atl and NO will be battling for the top and Tampa is still a big unknown.

[Mr. Scot]

If I'm being realistic, our current situation lends itself to the distinct possibility of next year being a "transition" season.

But ya never know.

[Ken]

No. right offseason moves and I might change my mind.

[NCstoner420]

Sure. Seven of the nine losses were by six points or less, the team could be 14-2 as easily as they were 7-9.

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

a sudden infusion of gettlemagic makes me think 9 wins could be reasonable
