We no longer control our own destiny

[Happy Panther]

While only 1.5 games back, the odds of making the playoffs are going to be tiny because of there being two teams ahead of us who play each other. We essentially have to win out and get tons of help.

 

We can be mathematically eliminated next week with a loss and an Atlanta win. Edit: We can't control our destiny next week.

Only the tard annoying homers on the forum kept talking about playoffs, any other person with legitimate football sense knew this season was done.

 

But the Panthers head coach was talking about the playoffs just last wee--ohh, you said someone with legitimate football sense.

We can be mathematically eliminated next week with a loss and an Atlanta win. However we would also control our own destiny again with a win and Atlanta loss.

The falcons WILL lose more games. The Saints however, would have to lose either @Chicago, ATL, or @TB, while we win out.

A loss this Sunday and there's no logical reason to not cheer on the Bucs and Browns at BOA.

You are right. I wasn't taking into account that we would be 1/2 game behind NO having already played them.

Also Tampa is not eliminated yet at 2-10 lol

Well. Looks like we will be able to draft that much needed LT!

I expect to hear the term 'mathematically eliminated' sometime soon.

Amazingly, even with a loss this week in New Orleans we wouldn't be technically eliminated thanks to that tie.

I almost expect the saints to lose one of their remaining 3. They're not good either. But to lose all 3 AND us win out? Cancel Christmas.

I drowned my sorrows in Far Cry yesterday.... made some people on there pay

[jasonluckydog]

We can do it!

If Atlanta wins we would because it would ensure that one of those teams gets to 7 wins.

Yeah I've pretty much moved on to the draft, but it's still funny that we're technically not out of it, and neither is Tampa. If we lose this week and Atlanta wins though, that should do it.

The falcons aren't winning anything. They still have go to Green Bay and NO, and have the Steelers and us at home.

I think most of us have moved on.  I was holding out some semblance of hope but watching the players quit yesterday, I said yep, I'm done.  

 

These players quit for the season during the Pittsburgh game.
