Records

 

Panthers 5-8-1

Saints 5-8

Falcons 5-9

 

===================================

Schedules

 

Week 15

 

Steelers @ Falcons FALCONS LOSS

Panthers @ Bucs PANTHERS WIN

Saints @ Bears

 

Week 16

 

Browns @ Panhers

Falcons @ Saints

 

Week 17

 

Panthers @ Falcons

Saints @ Bucs

===================================

Tiebreakers

 

Falcons > Saints > Panthers

 

 

So what exactly needs to happen? Currently the Falcons and Saints have 5 wins each. They play each other so the division winner will have at least 6 wins. The Panthers could get in at 6-9-1 if the Falcons lose two more games and the Saints lose two more games. A 2-1 finish with ATL and NO 1-2 finishes puts us in.

 

The Saints have to lose at least one game. Then the Panthers could get in with 3 wins.

 

The Panthers can lose to the Falcons but they would need the Falcons to go 1-2  and the Panthers would have to finish 2-1. Also the Saints would have to finish 1-2 so they would need to lose to the Bears and Bucs and beat the Falcons.

 

Even the Panthers go 3-0 they need the Saints to lose a game. A 3-0 finish by the Panthers would eliminate ATL regardless of what they do the two weeks before the week 17 matchup.

 

If the Panthers are 1-2 in the final three weeks they will be eliminated. They'd finish 5-10-1 while the Saints or Falcons will have at least a 6-10 record.

 

Requirements

 

-Saints lose at least one game and Panthers win 3

-Panthers win at least two games and Saints and Falcons lose two

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
