I don't know who needs to hear this, but don't write us off next year because of the very difficult schedule.

This year, we played 7 playoff teams (3 of which are still playing).

Jags, Pats, Bills, Packers, 49ers, Rams and Seahawks.

We went 2-5, so obviously, we struggled but this is all to say we've faced a tough schedule with this team and made the playoffs. Heck, we beat a NFC #1 seed twice. Who’s to say we can't do it again?

Who am I kidding, the schedule is still terrifying.

  1. They really don’t have to travel far at all next year. As a West Coast fan that sucks, but I bet the players and coaches really like that

  2. My *very* early hunch is a floor of 8 and a ceiling of 12, assuming no injuries to key players

  4. Doesn’t really matter, some of these teams will get worse, some better. Can never go off pre szn SoS

  5. I’ll be honest, I don’t think the schedule looks THAT difficult. The Broncos, Bears, and Seahawks are at home and the Broncos had a very flukey record this year. The Bears also got away with a ton of wild comebacks and close calls 

    The Steelers, Ravens, and Browns are going to be complete wildcards. Could see a scenario where Steelers and Ravens both take a step back

    The NFL is weird year-to-year. Not saying the Panthers are going to go out and win 11 games but we’ll be alright if we keep the improvement going 

  8. That home schedule is insane… on the bright side, you can’t go wrong with picking a game to go to this year!

  11. We will have the only (regular season) shot at reclaiming the Sword of Omens from Detroit.

  12. Looks like our toughest non-divisional games will be all at home, so there’s that.

  13. There’s a lot of teams on here that are going to be total unknowns until we get through the off-season.

    Steelers, Browns, Ravens, Lions, Vikings, Bucs, Saints could all be really good or really shit.

  16. Alright, I’ma be real… I’m thinking undefeated BUT Bryce will be held to less than 65 TDs

  20. I’m trying to go to the Bears and Ravens games. Can’t wait for the crowd to drown out Caleb. I don’t think he’d handle that noise like Stafford did

  22. Bears and Broncos are going to regress pretty hard.

    Looks like a 10-11 win schedule to me.

  24. It’s frankly useless to try and project how hard it is. Outside of a few teams that always seem to be good which isn’t even the case like see the Chiefs this year and the absolute worst teams you have no clue.

    Like at this point last year who had Seattle and the Patriots as 2 of the toughest teams on our schedule? Who had the Jags who finished worse than us last year as a tough playoff team?

  26. I’ve never looked at any of these schedule reveals and thought 17-0…. until now 💯

  28. I’d want my birthday present to be in Pittsburgh to see the Panthers.

    Repping my BY9 jersey into Heinz Field would be magical

  32. It’s a tough schedule but extremely fortunate to have home games against Denver, Seattle, cinci, Baltimore and the bears.
