NFC South

WHODATINCA · 10-06-2014, 04:17 PM

I believe we'll win the South too, but, it won't be easy. The Falcons played well against the Giants. Julio is a freak of nature. We have our work cut out for us. It'll be gut check all season long.

Let me go on record as saying I despise everything about the Carolina Panthers organization. It starts with their owner and then how they were allowed into the league by padding their roster (same for Jag's, Texans too) which created a spoiled fanbase. I wont go on with the other reasons but my point is I hate them.

Seeing them get curb stomped twice by Pitt/Balt was awesome and let some air out of their inflated egos. I believe they are about an 8-8 team in the end but admit that with a roster of less talent than ours overall they are playing and getting better coaching than we are. Newton (a diva plain and simple) is throwing some great passes and playing good football. Can he lead them thru the fire as you say? I don't think so either but to my original point of my first post they are playing better football and getting better coaching at least at this point in the season than we are. We are doing FAR less with a talented roster.

Beating Carolina, IN Carolina. Just like last year, that's probably what it's going to come down to.

Carolina is doing it with smoke and mirrors, and they will be out of players by week 10.
Offensively they have Newton & Olsen at the skill positions, and no one else.
Defensively their lack of depth will catch up to them.

Atlanta & TB will win 10 games...combined.

We are usually on the short end of the division-winner-with-a-worse-record-hosting-a-playoff scenario, but we should be fine this year

Its easily the worst NFC South in a decade. And Carolina has a much much tougher remaining schedule than we do, and Atlanta's is just as tough as ours.

I love our chances at winning the South.

Look at Carolina and Atlanta's remaining schedules...

CAROLINA
@Cincinnati
@Green Bay
Seattle
New Orleans
@Philadelphia
Atlanta
@Minnesota
@New Orleans
Tampa Bay
Cleveland
@Atlanta

ATLANTA
Chicago
@Baltimore
Detroit
@Tampa Bay
@Carolina
Cleveland
Arizona
@Green Bay
Pittsburgh
@New Orleans
Carolina

I see 8-8 at best for both those teams, and more likely 7-9 or 6-10

I wish we could find abit of smoke and mirrors if that is what it takes.

Player to player and coach to coach Carolina is doing better than us. Our players may have the IQ to build shuttle to the moon and therefore must tend to over think the game of football.

They are, for now.
Newton hasn't recovered completely (check running & sack stats), and they have little else.
I'd much rather be our shoes than there's

Yikes! That Carolina schedule is down right brutal over the next 5 weeks.

I've been hoping the Saints do a Giants this year and get it together late in the year, even our division is looking like the NFC East this year.

ScottF · 10-12-2014, 09:34 PM

and two and a half more losses for the division today
