Who do we root for thursday night?

Aints or Failcons?

 

I for one believe the division door is slammed shut, but many think we have a chance. I say we root for the aints to give us some breathing room from atl on the #6 seed.

 

aints remaining schedule

@atl

home vs jets

home vs atl

@bucs

I see them 12-4, guessing a split with atl

 

failcons remaining schedule

home vs saints

@bucs

@saints

home vs panthers

Atl will most likely be 10-6, or 9-7, it depends on us.

panthers remaining schedule

home vs vikings

home vs packers

home vs bucs

@ falcons

This 3x homestand will determine our playoff hopes, which panther team will show up? I see us 11-5 or 10-6

 

Sea and LA will take 2 playoffs spots with 1 WC, so we are fighting for that 5th/6th seed. GB and the lions could sneak in too, if we poo the bed

To each their own but Falcons for me.  Even if they win we’d still have a game on them for the Wild Card entering Sunday’s action.  Most importantly I don’t want to try and become the first team in league history to have a week 17 road game and still win three straight playoff games on the road and the Super Bowl.  It can be done, but has N E V E R been done to this point.  The Saints lost to the lowly Rams in 2013 and coulda/shoulda lost to the lowly Redskins a few weeks ago.  They can lose at least 2 of their remaining 4, or at least 1 of their remaining 3 after Thursday.

We want New Orleans.

How is this even a question?

Because we’re hoping to go 4-0 (3-1 at worst) over our last 4 and not 2-2/1-3 backing into the 6th seed.  And because limp-dicking into the 6th seed in and of itself would mean nothing but frustration to this franchise at this point.

The Saints. 

I prefer to stay realistic with the Panthers chances and winning the Division isn't realistic at this point. 

In 2013 the Saints were 5-0 and the Panthers 1-3.  I remember going berserk because local talk radio was advocating rooting for the Saints against other NFC foes because winning the South simply “wasn’t realistic”-let’s turn our attention to the Wild Card at best everyone said.

little different scenario considering there’s only what like 5 games left versus 5 games into the season

25% of the season still must be played.  Falcons win and we win-we’re even Steven!  The Jets, Falcons, and at Tampa are all far more “losable” than that 2013 Saints/Rams game that same Saints regime choked away was.

This would be easier to answer if f we played Minnesota Thursday and the saints game was sunday. Cuz if we beat Minnesota, I'd want the falcons to win. But I think there's only a 30% chance we beat the vikings so it's probably best that the saints win 

If we can’t beat the Vikings at home under these circumstances  then how in hell are we going to win 3 straight road playoff games?  Anything is possible but Panther Nation needs to expect a win.  This is still the 2017 Vikings, not the 1998 Vikings-our D needs to feast and we need to win.

The simple answer is that we won't win 3 straight road playoff games

Don’t disagree but at this point in franchise/regime history it’s ring or bust.  We have to hope for the BEST in the present and re-analyze after the season about how to proceed going forward.

Falcons because I believe the 2 seed is still a chance

I think we need to see what happens against the Vikings before we root for the Falcons over Aints, which makes them playing Thurs. annoying. If we beat the Vikings then I think the division is still within reach, and obviously for that we need to win out with the Aints losing twice. But even if they win Thursday there's still a chance Falcons beat them in the second meeting and either the Jets or Bucs upset them (never sleep on a divisional game and the Jets have been competitive in every game this year and them beating the Aints would not be a surprise).

On the other hand if we lose to the Vikings assuming the Falcons win Thurs, then we're out of the playoffs a that time.

    • Went to school in MD when this came out. Dance floor got CRAZY when this joint came on!
    • They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.   
    • There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
