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

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
