Playoff Scenarios for the Panthers

Hoping someone can check my math here.  For the Panthers to be absolutely SURE they make the playoffs we need to win out.  There is still a possibility that LA, Seattle, NO and Atlanta all finish 11-5.  We have lost to all NFC teams this season and that is bad. 

Best case for us would be we win the next 2 games and Atlanta and\or Seattle lose.  Do I have that right?  That game yesterday was much bigger than I realized - that was a must win.

Win out and hope for a NO loss is where I'm at right now, still a tad bit of hope to win the division.  I think a first round bye is out the window at this point.

 

The Panthers have played really well on the road, so I don't mind them being a wildcard this season.  I think realistically we are shooting for the 5 seed.

Panthers  win out and get one lost from the Saints. Vikings, and Rams and they get a first round Bye

Yeah, that would work well for us...I was just wondering about avoiding a win and in, lose and out game at Atlanta.  Could be really tough.

You're definitely incorrect, the Panthers win, then a NO loss and a LA loss is what must transpire. And either a loss by MIN or a few from PHI. This locks down the 1st round bye.

 

Not even sure what all those other teams have in terms of relevance to us, they're just wild card contenders so I'm really not sure why you're posting about them.

In the scenario I mentioned above, if we win weeks 15 and 16, Atlanta wins out, Saints only lose to Atlanta, and Seattle wins out, Then we miss the playoffs. If we beat Atlanta, then we are the 2 seed.

Yeah, this was my thinking as well.  We need to pull for the Rams next week and NO at home against the Falcons to avoid this scenario.  Assuming all else goes as it should.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
