Panthers 4-8-1, Saints 5-8, Falcons likely 5-8 tomorrow. Again look at the schedules & predict what happens

[Sam Mills Fan]

Just so no one accuses me of jinxing Atlanta/Green Bay tomorrow, let it be known that it is entirely possible that the Falcons win in Lambeau tomorrow night. No one saw us winning today and no one would see the Falcons winning tomorrow. But let's assume they do lose and the records are what I have in the thread title. Remaining schedules:

 

Panthers:

TAMPA BAY

CLEVELAND

@Atlanta

 

Saints:

@Chicago

ATLANTA

@Tampa Bay

 

Falcons:

PITTSBURGH

@New Orleans

CAROLINA

 

It has been SO challenging to predict games this year. Would it completely shock anyone to see any of these teams run the remaining table or lose out? Nope. Anything can happen against the 3 opponents each team has left and shouldn't shock anyone.

 

I think we'll be out by a half game. I think the schedule will shake out somehow so that we would be in with a win at Atlanta and we'll lose one late in part to bad clock management by Rivera. Wouldn't it be appropriate to lose the clinching game due to bad Rivera coaching when his dumb decision to go for the tie against the Bengals instead of the win put us in that position to begin with?

I'm just enjoying this win for today. There is absolutely no way to know what is going to happen in the upcoming weeks. Just let the games play out.

Saints dismantled the Steelers last week and everyone was ready to crown them NFCS champs. We are week to week in this NFCS.

I'll take a stab as an optimist:

 

Panthers

Saints

Falcons

Panthers win division 7-8-1 over Saints at 7-9.

 

If I'm being really honest though, I think you're right and we'll probably fall short. Bet we lose @ ATL actually.

[AceMan]

Panthers lose to the Bucs next week and playoff talks cease

[teeray]

I think NO up in cold windy Chicago is our last best hope.

And we have to win out

[panthers90]

Panthers lose to the Bucs next week and playoff talks cease

Like the optimism.

[Ken]

Think the Saints win the next 3.

[Shermdog]

I hope that  we win out and the saints and falcons lose one of their next 3. We then somehow catch fire and win the superbowl.......however, based on how this season has been going, I predict Saints win out and take the NFC south championship by 1/2 a win. We will then be doomed to another season of Rivera but maybe Shula gets fired.....

[Jimmy]

We control our destiny against the Falcons by winning out (if they lose to GB, they will).  We will need help by the Saints losing again.  Possible and somewhat likely only if we win out.

[KCat]

Most everyone thought we would get stomped by the Saints. All we need to do is win 3 games. The others will fall apart. Wait and see!

[TheRumGone]

i will say this

 

if anything this was a demoralizing game for the saints. dont know if they will recover from it.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

we dug ourselves in too deep of a hole imo. we'll have to run the table to have a shot.
