Seahawks will be the 5th seed and either Minnesota or TB will be the 6th. Book it. 

That would have them flying to the East coast 2 weeks in a row if they win and play us. 5th seed will play the NFC East in the wild card round and we will play the lowest seed left.

The Observer beat reporters just tweeted this. 

Per @theobserver research, a 12-4, 13-3 or 14-2 Panthers team would lose a head-to-head tiebreaker against a 12-4, 13-3, 14-2 Cardinals team

Basically, we must have 1 less loss than AZ to win the #1 seed.  If Arizona wins out, we have to get to at least 15-1 for a guaranteed #1 seed.  It all comes down to conference win % and ours would be worse than there's since 1 of their losses is against the AFC.  Obviously with only NFC opponents remaining for Panthers, any of our losses would be against NFC, thus we would lose the tiebreak to AZ.

We can't start coasting...!

Cardinals still play the Vikings, Packers, and Seahawks to end the season. Hate it for them. Their playoffs start now.

Best case scenario is the Cardinals, Packers, and Seahawks all have to go through each other and the Panthers face one of them in the NFC Championship game.

Worst case scenario is the Panthers have to play 2 of those teams to get to the Super Bowl.

Either way the Panthers have to win out to prove themselves. If they lose a game in the regular season to the Falcons, Bucs, or Giants, they will be labeled as overrated. If they lose a game in the playoffs, then the Panthers go back to taking a back seat to the other division champions in the NFC.

If you have to hope for your team to face the NFC East winner in the playoffs for an "easy" game, then you do not believe in the Panthers enough to be the best in the NFL. I think the Saints game this weekend was a good example of there being no easy games for any team from from here to the Super Bowl if your team wants to win it all.

Any team not adopting the playoff mentality at this point in the season will not make it to the end.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
