I can never get a grip on this team. They honestly won't surprise me if they win 11 games or 6.

Same. If they can close out games and come up with that big drive when needed, then 11 wins is very realistic. But if it's the same team as last year then 6 wins is very possible.

This week will tell us alot I believe. I know it's only one game but it's a big game and these guys know it. I'm interested to see how they come out and if it's a different team then what we've seen the last two years.

12-4

 

We lost 6 games last year by less than 7 points.  Two years ago we lost 5 more games  by less than 7 points.  If we maintain status quo and not get any better on offense, our defense is much improved (hopefully).   We played a lot of cover 3 because we had to bring the safety in the box because of our bad run defense.   Now we will be able to play more straight cover 2 along with hybrid defenses that will give the ability to hopefully cover the tight ends (ie tony gonzalez, graham) who have been killing us.  Also look at how much longer plays were extended by Brees and Ryan just by being able to step up in the pocket.  We will win at least 12 games.

    • Aho…come out and prove me wrong boy. 
    • I mean, I hear what y'all are saying, but Derrick could have been positive without being negative.  He essentially accused people of not seeing Bryce's improvement because of their desire to not be wrong. He could've kept it about Bryce and the team. For example, he could've said: "Bryce has made strides, and we believe in him. This coming season, his continued improvement will turn a lot of people into believers."  That would've been supportive of his teammate and sent a message to the doubters. That being said, his tact almost summoned and left the door ajar for more skepticism. That's my take anyway. Bryce has improved from the bottom to perhaps skirting the line between the bottom third and mid-third at best...after three seasons. We've all seen it. Yay! In my mind, Bryce has still got a long way to go and a short time to get there, but my expectations are top five--at least top 10--always! Yes, I am a fan, so there's that, but I don't believe it's unreasonable to expect excellence. Hopefully the Panthers FO has the same mindset (and that doesn't even necessarily have anything to do with what we gave up to acquire him). That is the lens I'm looking through. Derrick Brown has his homer glasses on. He just needs to be more diplomatic and thoughtful with his words in my opinion, but I get it that he's a good teammate.
    • I have no doubt the Canes will come out like gangbusters, huge bounce back from game one - my only concern is Freddie, if he lets in a couple of softies and Dobes stays hot we could be in trouble.
