Panthers: 5% chance of winning SB

Yahoo Finance (why this was posted in the Business Insider I do not know) has the Panthers listed as having a 5% change of winning the Super Bowl.  Note the Falcons were given a 4% change.

 

What's interesting is they go on to say the Falcon have a 50% chance to win the NFCS over the other 3 teams.  Guess they like the Panthers in the post season over the Falcons.  I can live without the NFCS title if it means hoisting the Lombardi over our heads in the end.

Being 3-0 is great but truth is ... we haven't played anybody yet.  Sure, every week is tough in the NFL but our schedule thus far has been pretty low on the 'toughness scale'.  Our record at the mid-point (4 weeks after the bye) will be a better indication.

we also haven't been really healthy this year. We haven't had our full starting defense play a single game, and might not til Thanksgiving.

yes, the Panthers have had a weak schedule so far, but we're an inured bunch, so we've won despite being injury-riddled.

once this team gets healthy, any team would be worried about playing us. The Panthers just have to keep beating the teams that we are supposed to beat and we'll be fine.

The Falcons schedule is significantly easier the rest of the way than the Panthers schedule so it makes sense they are favored to win the division, but they think we are a better team so we have a better chance to win the Super Bowl.

Remember, for every three teams that make the playoffs, five don't. Additionally, one out of every thirty two teams is garaunteed a super bowl victory once per season. It's the rules.

Yes... and? I feel like you were setting up to make a point and then

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.   
    • Who didn't see that coming.... 
    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
