NFC South
 

You all know Atlanta lost today and the Panthers got a gift against Chicago.
Nobody in the South has there act together. We are not in that bad of shape as long as we get all the gears going in the right direction.


NFC South W L T PCT PF PA STRK
Panthers 3 2 0 .600 104 120 W1
Falcons 2 3 0 .400 151 143 L2
Saints 2 3 0 .400 132 141 W1

I believe. :bandg:

And, the Bills beat the Lions today. ( Sorry, Slo.)

Re: NFC South
 

:lol:, no problem man ... I'm just gonna' look at that game as the Lions prepping to give the Saints a renewed confidence in their ability to win on the road, :lol:.

Re: NFC South
 

division looks ugly i tell ya
wash of that make up and it is just plain ugly

so it is winnable

Re: NFC South
 

We'll win the South by 2 games.

Re: NFC South
 

Chicago gift-wrapped a win for Carolina today.... We should light them up.
Atlanta has no O line left, Ryan will feed on that
Tampa should be good and cooked by Dec 28th

Here's what's important - 1 of our next 7 games is a division game. 3 of our final 4 games are division games. Plenty of time to heal up, get our heads right and make a run.

Re: NFC South
 

i'm thinking the same bro, hopefully we are mimicking what the giants did a few years back and started to roll at the end and won superbowl .
we played better in preseason than we are now.

Re: NFC South
 

I love your faith and I sure hope you are right.

Re: NFC South
 

As bad as the NFCSouth is the league may ban us all from post season play.

Side note: It sucks to say it but I think the Panthers are probably coaching and playing the best ball all things considered right now. They are basically a bunch of misfits thrown together with a half dozen plays in their playbook but they keep fighting. Down 21-7 I didn't give them a chance yesterday.

Re: NFC South
 

It's really all I keep comparing this season to

Re: NFC South
 

I cannot see any Cam Newton led team playing deeper than they did last year. And that was WITH a dominant defense... They have far less talent this season and he is not equipped to lead them through the fire.

Re: NFC South
 

OK, so what your saying is we still have a shot.

Re: NFC South
 

Carolina should lose their next 5 games anyway.

Re: NFC South
 

Seattle was 7-9 as a division winner. There have been multiple 8-8 winners of divisions. I don't think there's a worry.
Another note. If Chicago had not given the game away, the Panthers would be tied with the Saints and the Falcons at 2-3. We're only one game back and we get to play them twice.

Also even after all of the boneheaded plays the Saints made yesterday, they did keep fighting and eventually won the game. Honestly, they looked pretty dominating in the extra frame. Hopefully Payton will learn something from that.

Re: NFC South
 

At the very least we should suck less than the rest of the South. :smile:

Re: NFC South
 

Re: NFC South
 

Fingers-crossed. Maybe we'll think of it as a play-off game. :-)

Re: NFC South
 

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.

Re: NFC South
 

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.

Re: NFC South
 

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

Re: NFC South
 

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

Re: NFC South
 

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

Re: NFC South
 

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.

Re: NFC South
 

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

Re: NFC South
 

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

Re: NFC South
 

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.

Re: NFC South
 

and two and a half more losses for the division today

Re: NFC South
 

Shoulda' been three ... WTH are they putting in the kicker's water coolers this season?, :lol:

Re: NFC South
 

last time the Bengals tied their kicker also missed a FG in OT in the last 10 seconds - anyone ever heard of this Shayne Graham guy?

Re: NFC South
 

The point is the division is waiting for us to catch up. Will they do it? Right now Carolina is 1.5 games ahead of us. Have you seen what's up on our schedule?

@Detroit
Green Bay
@Carolina
San Fran
Cinci
Baltimore
nothing easy about these teams. Especially the home games.

We need to bring the Thunder!

Re: NFC South
 

No excuses. The toughest games are at home, and @ Detroit and @ Carolina aren't cake walks.

But its there for us to take...if we want it...
