I'll be the drunk negative nancy here, the realist, anti-fan whatever you guys want but let's put this into perspective.

 

Jags

Texans

Saints without Brees (their only player left)

Bucs

 None of those teams are even close to playoff caliber teams. I don't understand why everyone is so ecstatic. Is this what we've been reduced to? Hoorahing over beating up on arguable the 4 worst teams in the NFL? That's sad, and someone has to point it out. I mean look at these teams we are playing...they're garbage. 

 

If we come back from the bye and beat the Hawks, I'm all in but as of now we have yet to prove we're a legit team. It is what it is.

You're not wrong but it doesn't stop everyone from calling the Colts super bowl favorites every year since luck for there even though they get 6 free wins a year. They have a losing record vs non AFCS teams but they're not denigrated for their competition. Ride the good feels while they last.

Falcons are 4-0 against the Eagles (LOL), Giants who gave the game away, Dallas without Romo and Dez, and the terrible Texans that we beat too.  

You can only play who's on your schedule and I'm impressed we went 4-0 without the best linebacker in the game and the soul of our defense

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
