Elliott Harrison: I see the Panthers winning NFCs at 9-6-1

I guess he just couldn't bring himself to predict 10 wins, and figured that since we managed a tie last year, we could git R done again. 

With the SI writer picking us to finish last in the division, I'm convinced there's a typo somewhere, since these guys are all 'experts'.

If I ever see another NFL game end in a tie, it will be too soon.

The league needs to change the rule back.

Change it back? It's been like that for as long as I can remember.  I remember trying to tell my brother-in-law (among others) back at least 18 years ago that ties were possible.  I know it was before the Internet, or I'd have looked it up and showed him how wrong he was.

Maybe he means letting the other team have an attempt at scoring if the first team in overtime kicks a field goal.

Perhaps, but you can still tie nonetheless if the respective defenses hold, so I don't think that the newer rule ups the probability of a tie, as much as it may prolong the game a little.

They changed the overtime rules for the regular season back in 2012.

Since 1974 there have only been 20 tied games, the most recent occurring in the 2014 season when the Carolina Panthers and Cincinnati Bengals played to a 37–37 draw. A tie game has happened in each of the three seasons since the overtime rules were altered in 2012.

They changed it 5 years ago specifically for the playoffs, and then began implementing the same rules for the regular season in 2012.

Oh, OK, Doyle was right.  

I still think there is a possibility that it's just dumb luck. For instance, in our game (as you have stated many times before in your quest to marginalize Cotchery) J-Co should have ended the game.

Also, it seems like I faintly recall a missed FG attempt in overtime for another one. Could be wrong though.

Yes, he should have. It was the game winning touchdown. KB didn't get a pass for his drops last season.

Anyways, it lists the 3 tie games in each of the last 3 seasons on that page. I don't think it's a coincidence that 1 has happened each season since they changed the rule. It's a real pisser for fans who pay good money to watch the games. The outcome of the game is basically decided on dumb luck through the OT coin toss.

The winner of this division will have 10+ wins. Last year was crazy, but the NFCS has been one of the toughest divisions in all of football since the realignment. No other division in the NFC consistently has put two teams in the playoffs almost every year more than the NFCS. It is pretty lame to suggest that 9 wins will win the division this year, despite what happened last year. Bank on it.

Well, that's why the rule was changed, to lessen the outcome being decided by a simple coin toss, so I understand and have no problem with the change.

      Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.

      Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!

      Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
