Panthers not mathematically eliminated yet

Recommended Posts

They are out.

They needed Green Bay to lose to stay in WC contention, and they needed the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs to lose today to stay in division title contention.

Green Bay and the Vikings play next week. The Packers win and they have 9 wins. The Vikings win and they have 8 wins and tie breaker over. If it is a tie, the Packers finish with an above .500 record.

If the Packers or Vikings over take the Lions, the Lions finish with 9 wins at the worst.

The Panthers have no shot to be ranked higher than 7th in the NFC.

Even if the Redskins lose out and the Packers lose out, that still leaves the Vikings and Panthers tied at 8-8 for the WC spot. Vikings hold the tie-breaker. And that is assuming the Vikings lose to the Bears so they do not get to 9 wins.

You have to break ties in division before you go to tie breakers in conference. The Vikings would have the tie breaker over Packers and the Panthers would hold the tie breaker over the Bucs for their respective divisions.

In that above scenario, the only 8-8 teams remaining after division tie breakers are the Panthers and Vikings. Vikings hold that tie breaker.

Explain a bit more. So the Vikings have a tie breaker over us through the division?

You know the Vikings and Panthers are not in the same division.

    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.  
    • The most telling sign, IMO, of a team on the upward swing is who we lost in the off-season. Who left that even saw the field? Woods, Clowney, Sanders, & Hekker. OK...no big deal. Clowney is the only 1 that I raised an eyebrow over and I get that it was a money decision. No need to pay him over $7M to take snaps from our draft picks when he was just OK last year.
