538 - Panthers have 92% chance of making playoffs, 9% to win super bowl

After today I have supreme confidence in this team, but we don't need to be looking at numbers like this right now.  Remember last year when we were 3-8-1 we had like a 5% chance of making it.... look what happened.  The NFL is a weird game.  Our only focus right now should be beating the Eagles.  These numbers are awesome but let's not get caught up in them.

The only "bad" game left is against GB IMO and the numbers show that.  Rodgers is Rodgers...but they haven't exactly been world beaters lately.  An average Chargers team, a good Rams defense, and the 49ers gave them decent games.  And they'll be coming off a game against Denver's defense when we get them?  

 

Keep winning, get healthier, and who knows?

I like those odds, don't understand how Seattle and Pittsburgh are ranked ahead of us on their ratings even after they've taken today into account.

ELO is the chess rating system and I'm not too sure either given how the rating system works. Everyone starts at 1500 and you go up or down with wins and losses and the amount you move is based on the rating of your opponent. Given that Seattle has only beaten two bad teams that were winless at the time there is no way they should even be above 1500, much less 1600.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
