Back in the halycon times of last month, before the 2025 Carolina Panthers had taken a live snap in the regular season, fans were full of hope. Most of us predicted a moderately successful season with at least one more win than Dave Canales, Bryce Young, and Andy Dalton combined for last season. What an innocent time that was.
Now that we’ve been subjected to a far rougher start than we had hoped for, it is time to revisit our old predictions. Gone is the optimism of yestermonth. We have returned to the familiar environs of the cellar. This week, we’ll find out how far away rock bottom is. Next week, perhaps, we’ll see if there any layers below even that.
First, our standard confidence question. Once again, this is not a question asking if you think the Panthers will win this weekend against the Atlanta Falcons. This is a question asking about your opinion about the long term prospects of the franchise as a whole. Think of it as a referendum on the leadership of general manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales.
Second, let’s revisit the big question. How many games do you think the Panthers will win this season? Be honest, then be kind to yourself. It’s okay if this question makes you sad. We’re all in this together, for some reason.
