I think he's right about Carolina. They finished last season white hot and one of the big things that held them back last year (OC / Cam Newton usage) has been dealt with. I think that week 1 game could be the toughest of the year. If Carolina was in the AFC I'd consider them a slam dunk for the playoffs. It's a 10 am Pacific time start in what might be 90+ degrees in high humidity. Yikes. It's going to be a tough game. I hope people around here can handle being 0-1 if it comes to that.
What on earth has ever given you the idea that this would be possible here?
If we go 0-1, there will be a flood of posts about the league's unfair scheduling, the team being unable to win on the road, the change in DC being our doom, PC being a horrible gameday coach, Lynch getting old, Wilson starting his sophomore slump, Sherman talking too much, etc.
Not one tiny bit of credit will be given to a Carolina team playing at home with a D-line and QB much better than people here are willing to recognize.
