With everything that's gone on this season, Panthers still control their destiny?

[ctrcat]

with our organization it is. if we win out and go to the playoffs Ron will not be fired and neither will Shula. We will get blown out in the first round. we've proven we don't have what it takes to contend. This ideal does not make me a bad fan it makes me a realist.

I agree that Gettlemen is a beast at the draft. He got us 2 first round quality talents at the 28th pick, along with a great guard prospect with Turner in the 3rd. With a top 5 pick he would get us potential 3 draft picks with first round quality.

Ill take that and a new coaching staff over winning over medicore teams to be the worst team in the playoffs

How do you know we'd get blown out? Realistically, we could be facing a Lions team we already beat, a Seahawks team we certainly should have beat, or the joke that is the Dallas Cowboys. We could even have a coming out of our shell moment against the Packers or 49ers who we both owe as well playing at home with nothing to lose.

Every game is it's own entity. No guarantee of a blowout.

I mean I'm not a psychic but the way this team has been playing, if the playoffs started this Sunday I'm pretty sure it would be ugly. i understand being a loyal fan but im a betting man. This team is on a severe losing streak and players no longer believe in the coaching staff. That's not something to bet on sir

Saints have road games in Chicago and Pitt left. Doesn't matter the competition....they won't win both those

[Pimpdaddy]

... Yea.. we need to make the playoffs to create a new memory like that Duhlomme/Arizona debacle...wouldn't that go a long way in healing this team....

Why the fug would anyone want the Panthers do go to the playoffs? They'd get blown the fug out AND Rivera would be back.

I always feel I should root for my team to win but in looking at the bigger picture I feel there will be more wins in the future with less wins now.

IDK, because I like to see my team do well?

The 2008 Cardinals entered the playoffs losing 4 of 6 including multiple woodshed beatdowns.

[WhoAmI?]

Do people really want to see this coaching staff back next year? That's exactly what will happen if we win out and make the playoffs. It would be giving us false hope because of our historically bad division and we would be right back in this situation next year. And there is no doubt in my mind that we would get blown out. The team is simply not good. Sometimes you have to go backwards to go forward.

Teams that are good can get HOT. Teams that are bad stay COLD

More math than I feel like looking at right now.  However, this bottle of Glenfiddich looks mighty good.  Come here darling.

[ctrcat]

would be funny if he does, and even after getting cut by the panthers ends up being the reason we get in. Would be classic!

Yep, and his @$$ will be at home in January to boot. Perfect.

Josh Gordon reinstated.

Go ahead and put a "L" beside Dec.21 date with the Browns.

THey should have won against the Falcons and if that happened,they would have controlled their destiny!Is it possible to still make the playoffs,yeah maybe a 5% chance but those are horrible odds!They blew it,the best they can do is try to win as many games as possible and see what happens but I don't expect a whole lot from this team and it's horrible coaches!

[2plankingpanther]

yeah we get to see one more game of rivera getting outcoached in a blowout, or see his dumb ass make a retarded mistake yet again in the 4th quarter! woo woo!

 

give me a new coach and draft picks

A new coach huh,how about Jim Harbaugh,one can dream right?

W/the Panthers shitty FO,even if they were to get blown out and look like crap for the rest of the season,it wouldn't surprise me if none of the coaches get fired,so don't get too giddy about losing!
