Crazy but not so bad week

Recommended Posts

This football thing is crazy and with lots of upsets this week. At the end of the day, it might have been a OK day for the Panthers after all.

 

Sure poo we did not go 16-0 and all BUT

 

Losing the game today will actually make the Cards play hard next week(though they play later than us) fighting for homefield. They will be at home against the Hawks who with their L today could lose the 5th seed. Why is is this important? If Seattle end up only getting the 6th seed, they will likely be heading to Lambeau in January with the Vikings going to Redskins. Going into Lambeau in freezing weather is tough.

I know I know, you have to beat the best bla bla I would much rather want Vikings or Redskins than Hawks.

 

In short.. Our way to 50 might just have got a little easier today, and our loss might have helped.

Nah, this was a horrible week. We lost to the Falcons because of lack of effort and focus and got exposed in the process, and the Cardinals blew out the Packers. My draftkings teams got slaughtered. This is pretty much the worst week of the year!

 

At least the Panthers will be underdogs again in the playoffs, even as the #1 seed. Arizona would likely be favored in the NFCC even if they played on the road.

    • I see the logic in what you're saying, but I'd also say there were games with a bit more talent on the roster that some of the L's are actually W's.  AZ - We don't get off to a crappy start and if this game is later in the season when Bryce is a bit more comfortable, I think we beat the Cards NO - At least one of, if not both of these games would've gone our way SF - Perfect opportunity to snag a win on the road that Purdy handed to us, but we couldn't do anything offensively TB - Final game was winnable in Tampa  All this to say, I think 8 wins is about where we were at in 2025 if you take the games we barely won and combined them against the games that we barely lost.  Add 5-6 new pieces in FA and the draft. We went head to head and almost beat the Rams in a meaningful playoff game that gave a lot of the youth that experience to take into 2026 and beyond, and I do think 10-11 wins is achievable next year.  Not guaranteed, but much the way folks thought we could get to 8 or 9 wins this year as the ceiling, I think 10-11 is the new ceiling for next year.
    • Milano at LB.  We just have Jags at the position. Can still draft an LB. Likely has to be in consideration at TE. Sanders hurt. TT FA. Doubs, Alec Pierce, Shaheed. All three could really help this offense in totally different ways. Doubs feels the most redundant of the group but he is also the most polished and talented wr. Be done w XL.  I still argue that Bryce needs an elite, Houston-type, defense in order to succeed here. I would legitimately find out the asking price to both Myles Garrett and Vita Vea. Cleveland is transitioning and will have a new coach. Vea is in last year of contract.  Assemble the best dline in football. Bring in Milano to fix ILB. Corners are good. Safety’s aren’t terrible and Ransom looks promising.  You’d have a 3 year window or so.   Biggest issue w any plan is going to be LT. Idk what the fix is there.
