We SHOULD win the NFC South

Based on how our division is playing, and looking at the upcoming schedule for the Falcons and the Saints, we should win the division.  Remember, records are reset to 0-0 in the playoffs.  Look at the 7-9 Seahawk team that won their playoff game.  Have we looked great this season?  No, but we still have a shot to stay in the mix and get better as we go.

 

Here is a look at the rest of the Panthers, Falcons, and Saints games (Bucs are clearly still rebuilding so not including them).  Every team highlighted in Bold are currently .500 and below:

 

Panthers          Falcons          Saints

 

Seahawks       Lions (UK)      Packers

Saints             BYE                @Panthers

@Eagles         @Bucs           49ers

Falcons         @Panthers      Bengals

BYE                 Browns          Ravens

@Vikings        Cardinals        @Steelers

@Saints         @Packers        Panthers

Bucs               Steelers          @Bears

Browns           @Saints         Falcons

@Falcons       Panthers         @Bucs

 

 

The fact that we have a 1.5 game lead in the division, and the fact that our schedule doesn't look nearly as bad for the second half of the year, we should be able to maintain a lead.  I still think we can go 9-6-1 or 8-7-1 and take the division for a Home Playoff Game.

we're gonna get smoked by some wildcard team in the playoffs though

Cowboys, Lions, Packers, Cardinals and 49ers will be the non-NFCS playoff teams. If we win the division I would be worried going against 3 of those teams, Cowboys, Lions and Packers. Cards and 49ers we can beat because their QBs suck. Maybe Lions too but we aren't the same team that handled the Lions week 2. I see us going 10-5-1 losing to the Saints in NO and either Seattle or Philly. Philly is not as good a team as their record suggests and I think we could win that one.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
