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

      Best and worst PFF grades from Panthers' preseason loss to Texans

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm happy with TMac, but Tyler Warren was last season's Tyler Linderbaum for me in that he was at a position that wasn't one of the five pillars but he was the best player at his position AND one of the top talents in the draft. I cannot fuging wait for the Panthers to start winning again so that those guys fall to us like they seem to for teams like Baltimore & Philadelphia.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.
