27. Carolina Panthers (LW: 25)
This is getting absolutely ridiculous. Even with three wins and a tie, the Panthers are easily one of the worst teams in the league. They are now riding a six-game losing streak and fail to show up to most games — of their eight losses, six have been via double digits. Of course, the way the NFL tends to go, the Panthers could march into New Orleans next week and stumble into a win, but that is more of a function of divisional familiarity than talent. Even if Carolina has some, they haven’t shown it when it matters.
