Last night the NFL released the schedule for the coming season. As a Panthers fan, all I have to say is- WHAT?! OK, I know that the best teams get the toughest schedules, but the Panthers did not have the best record last year, and yet their schedule looks impossible.
First of all, they start the year against the Eagles,at the Falcons, and at the Cowboys. That could be three losses to start the season, easily.
Second, they four AFC teams they play against are Buffalo in week 7, Miami in week 11, at New York in week 12, and at New England in week 14. Buffalo is an unknown with TO joining the team, but the other three are playoff contenders and two are considerations for the Super Bowl.
Third, their easiest teams they play at home. They have a lot of tough road games; Dallas, Arizona, NY Jets, NY Giants, New England.
With the NFC South always seeming to be the most wide open in football, this schedule could sink the Panthers. When you add the lack of fan support for Jake Delhomme, the fans could sour quickly if the Panthers start slowly. The Panthers have to play well at home again this year to have a good season.
GO PANTHERS!
