I'd like to see them make the playoffs, but I think that's the best I can hope for.
I'm quite optimistic about Bridgewater; he could have a breakout year. Minnesota has great potential (of course, I've been heart-brokenly saying this since I was ten), but they have a brutal schedule. 8-8 or 9-7 might be the most we can reasonably hope for, and I'm probably being a cockeyed optimist even going that far.
Yeah, looking at their schedule, I think 9-7 is a possibility but is close to best-case scenario. I'd probably predict 7-9 for them (2-4 in division, 2-2 against AFC west, 2-2 against NFC West, and 1-1 against Giants/Falcons).

The league made a rules change several years ago that every team will have a division game as the last game of the year.
The scheduling has been such that most teams will have 2 or 3 division games in the last quarter of the season.

hang it up Panther fans (as many as you are  )
Kelvin Benjamin out for the season with torn ACL. KB is their #1 receiver.
The good news is they are still in the worse division in the league. They can have a loosing season and still get a home game in the playoffs.

Yeah, they very well could still win by default. My money's (tentatively) on the Falcons, because 1) the Saints have gotten way worse, 2) lol the bucs and 3) it's their turn.

If Julio Jones can stay healthy, the Falcons are a descent team.

The Falcons should be winning that division every year.
KB is my rookie keeper in.my $150 fantasy league. The last two years have been disastrous. I traded Marshawn away last year for draft picks because I already had AP.
Now I am down a rookie and have to use a roster move day one. I have to keep a rookie in the league if I want to keep two other players. I am keeping AP again. I can't keep two at any position, so I have to keep an injured Kelvin.
FML.

Only by virtue of the fact that it's impossible for everyone to lose it.

RG got dinged up again. How the fuck can you keep a QB healthy if you don't protect him.

You don't draft a QB made of swizzlesticks and rubber bands.
