Click here to see the playoff machine show us that if we win out we still get the 2 seed. 

 

Here is the rules for breaking a tie for two teams in the same division:

Conference W/L does not take hold until the 4th tie breaker

TO BREAK A TIE WITHIN A DIVISION

If, at the end of the regular season, two or more clubs in the same division finish with identical won-lost-tied percentages, the following steps will be taken until a champion is determined.

Two Clubs

  1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games between the clubs).
  2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division.
  3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games.
  4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.
  5. Strength of victory.
  6. Strength of schedule.
  7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed.
  8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed.
  9. Best net points in common games.
  10. Best net points in all games.
  11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
  12. Coin toss

 

 

So as long as we handle are business the panthers will have gone 11-1 against common opponents with the Saints while the Saints will be 10-2 against common opponents.

I wanted to post this because even I was thinking we lost the tiebreaker due to losing all of our games in conference whilst the Saints have dropped one of their games to the Patriots in the AFC.

If we win out and Eagles somehow lose today we actually wouldn't have a bad shot at the 1 seed. Would be a similar way to get the 1 seed to how the Seahawks got it in '14 after starting kind of slow like us this year. Eagles have a tough schedule going forward.

this really makes our games against the vikings and saints even bigger.

if the panthers win every game from here on out and the saints lose to just us, we'd be tied, but we'd be the number 2 seed. if we win every game except the vikings, then that would put the saints ahead of us, since they also lost to the vikings and would keep our common opponents record at the same 10-2.

If the Rams win out could they have the tiebreaker over us?

hmmm. i think so.

we'd win the division for sure though if that's the case if we win out.

I don't think they'll win out though. Hopefully they beat the Aints but even outside of that they have a toughish schedule. Seahawks could win out too, could that give them the 2 seed over us?

Hopefully we just win out. The rest will take care of itself. Unlikely multiple teams go 13-3 or better so if we do, we have a damn good shot at a bye.

Dallas should beat them tonight  and Sehawks can defiently beat them at home. 

#1 seed is possible long as we take care our business.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.
