Nah, if we lose then the season was a failure because all it took to win the division was beating the Saints once and we couldn't do it. That's a pretty big failure. Teams go from bad to good all the time... going from bad to mediocre isn't a successful season in my books

I think Bryce is risk adverse based on early season trauma the last two years, because he clearly can throw deep, but doesn't want to. But has started to do so months later.

Really sucks we couldn’t beat the saints once, we still are underdogs to win the division even after this

Wins are wins, Packers and Rams are quality wins against really tough teams to play. Any road game win is also a decent win, as games are just harder to control and predict on the road. If the Panthers lose tomorrow they are 98% eliminated. I'd say even if we finish 8-9 it was a disappointing season given how close we were to a playoff berth but just fumbled it with unprepared, bad play...despite how flawed the roster is. I wouldn't extend Bryce if we miss the playoffs and make him prove it in a contract year, while also finding a decent backup next offseason. Probably not going to be in a position to reach for a QB in the first round, and we sorely need defensive help in a loaded defensive draft

We went from being able to rest the starters the last two weeks for a home playoff game to likely eliminated. That is how catastrophic getting swept by the Saints was. All you needed to do was win one against the Saints. And if we won both we'd clinch with any win over the final 3 weeks. But this is the Panthers, and we can't have nice things. Absolutely can't extend Bryce if we don't make the playoffs. You just can't as a franchise. If Bryce was worth his salt he would have beaten one of the worst teams in the league once to make the playoffs. He had two chances and fumbled both

Bryce may suck but Kellen Moore thoroughly pants'd Canales in both meetings. And Moore was someone we brought in and said "no thanks", just like Steichen and Harbaugh. Tepper has zero eye for identifying football talent. That said, Canales deserves another year, but he has to show improvement next year

Nope, we now have to sweep them. Seahawks game doesn’t matter unless they lose to the dolphins and we beat the Seahawks, and then we can split. But that’s unlikely. This game killed our chances. Pathetic performance coming off a bye. We deserve to miss the playoffs now

Not only do we win the division if we win our next two games, we eliminate the Bucs and send them home if we win our next two. It's always nice sending a division rival packing. We have to do this.

Both of these coaches have dumb face They cut to a shot of either coach, they look clueless Bijan also has crying face, like almost every closeup

Tampa sucks. We should beat them

Its not happening, the Saints loss really killed their chances. We have to sweep TB and beat either the Saints or Seahawks to get it in, and I just don't see this team doing that

Both Coker and Tet TDs weren't sideline throws. Same with the Tet TD last week. BY is horrible at sidelines throws, but not bad in the middle of the field deep. I wonder if Canales finally realizes this and gets BY to throw aggressively in the middle of the field.

I'm convinced CRA has chronic nightmares about BY and comes on here to try to ease his stress XL blocked very well yesterday, and has been blocking well lately. He's got a very, very long way to go as a receiver. The "It's Bryce Young" argument doesn't really make sense if Tet and Coker and showing out and making plays. XL can't seem to do anything in open space, which is what he was drafted for. He isn't even an option on end arounds, they'd rather give it to Horn.

Didn't outplay but he outclutched both Stafford and Dak in the 4th quarter. Insane. Bryce has a ways to go, but he is undeniably clutch

I don't understand why we have so many plays for the receivers on the sideline. Bryce clearly struggles on those. On that last broken play, Coker had a TD had Bryce just thrown it there instead of out of bounds. Better yet, why doesn't Coker run towards the middle of the field, he would have been open.
