63.2% chance of making the playoffs.

Last year we came back from terrible 0-2 start which gave us around an 11% chance of making the post season. We defied those odds and bullied our way into the postseason anyways. Out of the last 5 years we are the only team out of 60 playoff teams to make the post season after that start.

Jump ahead a year we sit at 2-0 atop the NFC south with a clear path to dominate. We defied odds last year but this year we aim to comply with the statistics.

Starting off strong has been a problem in the Rivera era but we seemed to have taken care of that problem in the 4th year.

Cheers to being in the drivers seat on the road to the playoffs.

Today was my turning point. I am not scared one bit of any team remaining on our schedule.. Saints are 0-2 and lost to the Browns, the Packers hardly beat the Jets at lambeu field, we wont lose to Seattle a 3rd time. This team only knows how to win, the only team I say is clearly better than us is Denver. Other than that, I think 10-6 is our floor

Stating our playoff chances doesn't declare us a playoff team. I think some of you forget that.

Anyways good teams except to make the playoffs year after year. Some of you guys still don't realize we are different from the teams who don't win back to back. This is the first of many successful seasons.

Im in the same camp as you. I looked at our first 4 games and wasnt sure.

The way Pitt has looked on offense im not worried at all.

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
