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

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'll take a stab as an optimist:

 

Panthers

W

W

W

 

Saints

L

W

Falcons

L

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.

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.....

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
