Playoff Scenario

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.

    • They're examples of denying reality. Here are some others: ,- Bryce is the worst QB in the NFL right now (no he isn't) - Bryce is the worst QB in NFL history (no he's not; that's stupid) - Well then Bryce is at least the the worst QB in the league over the last three years (nope, he's actually improved a lot since year one, which was a turbulent year anyway) - That's not true, he hasn't Improved one but since his rookie year (oh come on) 🙄 - Well, even if he did, we can't win with him (obviously we can) - Yeah but not unless everyone else is damn near perfect (think the game film from our wins this year would back that up?) - Even so, we won those games in spite of him (officially the stupidest argument available) And no, those are made up. You can find those quotes and other equally moronic statements in various threads around the board. I know some folks always need to characterize whatever they're against as the worst thing in existence. It's hyperbole, and it's hypersilly. Likewise, you've got some who are so absolutely emotional about it that even if you think Bryce isn't good enough (which I do) they'll still call you a stan if you don't agree to label him the lousiest passer in existence 🙄 It's just dumb, and it's not realistic. But on the flipside, here are some statements which are; - Bryce is indeed capable of both playing in, and winning, an NFL game. Not on a consistent level though, and consistency is huge. - He is also capable of completing mid-range and even some deep passes; hell, he threw a beauty this past Sunday  - Yes, he has improved over his rookie season and over last year. Arguing against that is disingenuous. - Believe it or not, other players are the roster do make mistakes in games also.  - And lastly, while I know it hurts some people's narrative and arguments, Bryce does indeed deserve credit for the winning games he's played in this season. ... Every single one of those statements is true. And since i acknowledge all that, I must be in favor of keeping him in place then Except I'm not 😕 ... Don't know of anyone who doesn't think he'll get the fifth year option. Not ready to guarantee anything beyond that, though. So bottom line: Yeah, Bryce is fully expected to be our quarterback through next year. If there were a logical, realistic path to acquire a more capable starter and transition Bryce to a backup I'd be elated, but that's a pipe dream. This where we're at  I don't **** it, you don't like it, others don't either. But here We are so let's make the best of it that we can.
    • What does it matter how fast the wrs are with Bryce he is not hitting them anyway
    • Let's be real. Signing Matt Kalil who was at the time inconsistent at best was always an extremely risky move and largely initiated by the fact he was related to one of our most prominent players Ryan Kalil. Memories get fuzzy the longer time passes I guess. Go watch some old Panthers games with Ted Ginn nearly losing us games. Then watch Cam Newton keep going back to him again and again and again. Then read all the Xavier Legette criticism while making excuses for Bryce being swept by rookie 2nd round pick Tyler Shough. Throwing TMac under the bus is just further proof how deranged the Bryce Young defense force has become. Bryce Young can barely compete in this gutter iteration of the NFC South. Let's see him take this WR core to the playoffs in an NFC South with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan
