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.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
