Very possible that we win out

I know that a lot of people on the forum will not agree with me when I say this but I do believe that Carolina has a good chance to win out the regular season. Think about this for a moment, if Gano kicks well and Cam doesn't get hurt we are 5-2 and are looking down on our division and most of the NFC. Even with us playing like dogsh*t in pretty much all the first 6 games, we still could've easily gone 4-2 in the first 6. The harder part of our schedule is actually turning out pretty easier than I thought it would be. We are favored to win most if not all the games left on our schedule currently. The toughest games are Kansas City. Than Oakland and Seattle back to back. Seattle is overrated and almost everyone knows that. Oakland is good but has gotten lucky in a few of their wins. Kansas City is at home and they might not have Smith for that game. For the division games Atlanta and New Orleans we have at home. Tampa Bay is not that good at all. We seemed to have our solution for playcalling and excution. I am not saying we win the division but for sure 11-5 will get us a WC at the least. With us on a roll, we could make a deep run into the postseason. One game at a time, we will see if I am just an overoptimistic fan or if my crazy talk comes to fruition.

Thoughts?

i doubt we win out ... rivera and company are always good for a stinker against a sub par opponent ...

I can see 9-7 and possibly sneaking into the playoffs. 

the wild cards right now are the packers and giants at 4-3. that would mean they would need to go 5-4 or worse in the next 9 whereas the Panthers would need to go 7-2. I can see that happening, with a little help and a little luck. 

 

Big problem for us is that we have already lost 4 conference games and conference record is the first wild card tiebreaker since we don't play either of those teams head-to-head. Already behind the 8 ball there.

An Atlanta collapse is likely our best shot at the playoffs, but we've already lost head-to-head to them once and have dropped 3 division games so we are behind the 8 ball with regards to the tiebreakers there too.

I think it's possible (without the "very"). But, yes, it is within the realm of possibility if we play like we did against the Cardinals.

We'd have to play at that level for 10 straight games though if you are already including the Arizona game. We aren't good enough to overcome a down game, which everyone has over the course of 10 games, against most of our remaining schedule like we could last year.

I like the confidence. Personally, I think if we play as good and inspired as we did against the Cardinals we will go 10-6. I think we drop one of @Raiders @Seahawks because that is a rough 2 game stretch. 10-6 is probably enough to win the division honestly, do you see Atlanta doing better than 5-2 against other teams besides us the rest of the way?

Atlanta drops one to KC or ARI, Drops one to PHI, Drops one to us. That would make us division champs again. I likely see them going 9-7 or 10-6. We can win the division with a 10-6 record. We will see

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
