Panthers have to Win Out

Atlanta have to Lose Out

Tampa have to Lose Out

Saints have to Lose to Arizona and Win against Atlanta and Tampa

 

This would put Atlanta, Tampa and Carolina at 8-8 with Saints at the bottom at 7-9. All three 8-8 teams would be 3-3 in Division. Carolina would be 7-5 in the conference while Atlanta and Tampa would be sitting at 6-6 giving Carolina there 4th NFCS Championship in a row ...................... #FeelsGoodMan

1 win by Atlanta or Tampa makes our playoff chances "π" ...and Atlanta plays SF next ... fug.. ignore ↑

Just for fun, here's an approximation of the odds of all this happening:

  • Panthers win at Redskins = .75
  • Panthers win vs Falcons = . 75
  • Panthers win at Buc = .75

[Just for effect, I'm letting myself be an overly optimistic homer on those Panthers game odds.]

  • Falcons lose vs 49ers = .2
  • Falcons lose vs Saints = .4
  • Bucs lose at Cowboys = .9
  • Bucs lose at Saints = .7
  • Saints lose at Cardinals = .7

Combined Probability of all 8 of these necessary events happening = .75*.75*.75*.2*.4*.9*.7*.7 = .0148

Since it's the Christmas season, let's just go ahead and round that .0148 up to a 0.15. And since it's the Hannukah season, let's go ahead and round that .015 up to a .02. 

So yes, ladies and gentlemen, it's official: your 2016 Carolina Panthers have a 2% chance of making the playoffs!

They're not going to lose to the 49ers . and the bucs have been on a role lately you expect them to lose multiple games in a row? 

We win one time and everyone suddenly all talking about playoffs 

 

The Falcons did lose to the Chargers in Atlanta. 30-33

So, there is hope.

There's a particularity batshit scenario in which the entire South ends up at 8-8 and the Saints actually win the division via best record against non-divisional common opponents (5-3 to everyone else's 4-4). We'd then get the final Wild Card due to conference record provided that the Redskins, Packers, and Vikings lose out; with the exception of the latter two playing each other Week 16 (though the winner wouldn't matter).

We'll be officially eliminated before playing another down, but it's kinda fun to look at all the crazy scenarios that are still technically possible.

Then Oher, Kalil, and Lee come out of IR. KB gets hungry for football and not burgers. We go to the SB in beat Brady and the Pats. NFL takes the MVP trophy away from Carr and give it to Cam. Shula gets a HC job in Buffalo replacing Rex. Everybody wear ties to the SB parade in Uptown. 

Then, I proposed to Megan S. and she says YES!

when you know you have a crappy team, you really don't want to barely sneak into the playoffs and lose immediately and blow your chance at a good draft position and being stuck with the same stuff next year. I would much prefer us lose out than win out. I have never in my life had that belief until this season. Things have to change this offseason.

      Canales doesn't sound all the way sold on Bryce

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Yep, the Panthers powers that be seem desperate to convince themselves he can clear the bare minimum bar of demanding a legit franchise QB contract. Canales seems to be laying the groundwork here of building the case that all of Bryce's shortcomings are still there and even more glaring than you may have thought while his strengths aren't nearly as strong as you had hoped and aren't near enough to make up for the lack of pure physical tools. When you have historically anomalous lack of measurables you need historically anomalous positive intangibles to make up for it. That was always issue with Bryce as a prospect. Like Parcells said when evaluating him, "he better walk on water".

      I'm honestly not sure how much "west coast" plays into it. There's a huge difference between Tucson, AZ and Spokane, WA where he spent the previous two decades of his career. Chapel Hill is significantly different than Spokane but way more similar to it than Tucson. You're talking about a pretty significant plane ride to get back home either way. He and his family would be flying private and direct so we're talking about a 3ish hour flight vs. a 5ish hour flight. That's basically a wash. It's not like he went from Gonzaga to another PNW program. Tucson is a dramatic departure from Washington state. Honestly a far bigger departure climatically and scenery wise than Chapel Hill would be.

      Goalie an Issue Again?

      By Stumpy · Posted

      When asked if he thought he was close to returning to game action, "When you skate just with the goalie coach, it's tough to understand what your level is. Today, Svech scored on me a couple — probably a bad moment for me. I don't know. I'm probably very far from play if he scores on me." God, I love Kucci!
