So 9-7 is our floor it seems..

Dolphins, Bucs and Falcons are 3 locks for a W. (Yea I know, "any given sunday" no win is guaranteed in the NFL yada yada) but lets be real, barring a catastrophe like Cam getting hurt or a freak accident that involves Keek, CJ, Star and Hardy all getting hurt, we can all pretty much agree those are 3 extremely winnable games..

So its safe to say 9-7 is our floor. The Jets I see as very winnable as well but not quite up there with a "sure win" like I would classify Miami, TB or Atlanta. So thats a very easy 10-6 if we also beat a very beatable Jets but just to play it conservative, i wont put the Jets a sure win like the other three teams. Split with the Saints AND/OR beat the Pats and we are looking at a real realistic 11-5/12-4 senario. But nonetheless, lets be real. 9-7 ATLEAST is a given and with the Bears and Packers reeling, we would get a WC even if we tie with them due to being 6-2 in the NFC (btw, we are up 2-3 games on everyone else in the NFC as far as NFC wins are concerned, we lead the NFC with a 6-2 record in the conference).

Again, 9-7 is our floor though and 10-6 or 11-5 is a lot more likely.

HEY ONE GAME AT A TIME!!! THE NEXT GAME IS MOST IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT'S THE NEXT ONE!!!

fug that poo im a fan. We have set ourselves up greatly. It would take some sort of epic breakdown to ruin this.

Agreed, I was shocked when I went to look at the standings and saw we are up three games pn nearly everyone in the NFC as far as NFC wins go.. In other words, a few weeks ago, getting a WC on a 9-7 record seemed like a impossibility, now it seems very possible seeing as how we lead the NFC with NFC wins and hold tiebreakers over everyone else, including San Fran.

I was looking at our remaining schedule and I agree with the OP. I see use beating MIA, TB, and ATL. The Jets I believe are a win simply because I don't see them moving the ball on our D at all (their biggest win was against a suspect NE defence). I think that 10-6 is our floor, but I could easily see 12-4 because I don't see us sweeping the Saints. I think that having the Patriots here on MNF will give us a huge advantage and help pump up our D. I also believe that we beat the Saints at home and lose to them in New Orleans, although we have had their number for a while, so we could sweep em. I am going to predict that we end the season 11-5, but I am hoping for 13-3!

The only reason anyone would be thinking of our floor.... And I have been guilty of this... Is because they're worried we are going to collapse. Long story short every game is independent of its own, it's own entity. We truly could be in a dogfight for a win with anyone on our schedule. We could finish 2-6... We just need to take one game at a time. You know there will be an epic collapse in a game that we don't see coming. This is the NFL. Be ready for it

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
