I also noticed that we don't have the little notation in the standings (usually an x or something), that designates that playoffs are clinched. After much tinkering, I found one of very very few scenarios where we miss the playoffs. Some of the games look a little funny because I started, after obviously setting the Panthers to lose out, by having NFC teams win every inter-conference game going forward to prop up the other teams.

I actually found one where not only do we miss the playoffs, but so does New England.  I had both the NFC East and AFC South where everybody were at 6-10.  Needless to say it involved some highly unlikely results.

I am all for the rest of the NFC South missing the playoffs. It's hard to beat a team 3 times in one year. Not scared of facing any NFC South opponent, but still... would rather not face an NFC South opponent in the playoffs.

i had the bucs and falcons both narrowly missing it. jags also narrowly missed winning the afcs, which would've been fun.

if these predictions are right i think we play the winner of the weakest seeded host team in the wildcard round, right? that would be the winner of vikings-redskins, which would probably be vikings, who i think we would annihilate at home. we would almost certainly then draw arizona at home and hopefully knock them off en route to the superbowl.

i could see the afccg being patriots-bengals or patriots-steelers. either one would be really interesting, actually. the steelers make me nervous, but we can take down the bengals and the pats, i think.

amazing that this is all realistic and not august homerism.

The divisional round would be us vs the weakest seed to win in wild card round.  So if GB wins if you predictions are correct, they are our opponent no matter what happens in the other game.

Just checked this morning after the dust settled from week 12. 

Panthers still haven't clinched a playoff spot, but we clinch in week 13 if we win.

The fun part? Even if we completely lose out, we are in if...

1. Green Bay loses

or

2. Arizona loses

or

3. Atlanta loses

or

4. Seattle loses 

 

So just sit back, relax, and watch the world burn.

I played with it a bit.  All I've seen is how Seattle is on a collision course to play us in the 2nd round of the playoffs over and over.  They are likely ending up a wildcard team.  If they're the #6 team and they win, regardless of what else happens they play the Panthers in round 2.  If they're the #5 seed we'd have to hope the #6 team wins their game as well to avoid them (Likely either Green Bay or Minnesota - so it's possible).  

Panthers fans should be watching the Seattle @ Minnesota matchup this week...

      Lanoris Sellers = Cam lite?

      By jtm · Posted

      He needs to improve his progressions and not look to run every time his primary target is covered.  If he does, Sellers could be the number 1 overall pick.  If he doesn't, then he'll be a later round flier and the NFL is littered with running QBs that are so so at passing.

      I think Igo put a minimum post count on the TB to avoid trolls. Not sure what it is though.

      Why is everyone focused on BY while the real problem is ignored

      By Luciu5 · Posted

      The internet lacks any nuance. BY actually played good I'd say 90% of his snaps. I went back and watched every play. The 10% that was bad though, was REALLY bad. I'm hard pressed to put blame on him for everything though, like the 2nd int and the time where XL ran the wrong route and it looked like he just sailed the pass. I think I counted 3 or 4 bad throws in the game which were on BY. The fumble is 100% on him. That is like the exact same situation as in the Dallas game last year. Same with the first pick. He didn't see the safety, just like that Atlanta game. There were many passing yards lost due to drops. The Renfrow throw (50/50 Bryce imo but Renfrow had his hands on the ball), Tmac drop, and XL not getting his feet down. Those were all chunk plays. Bryce didn't play bad, just wasn't elite and when he made mistakes, they were colossal mistakes. Honestly, I think we should move on, I don't think he is IT, but too much blame for this game is going his way imo.
