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.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      I am not so sure about that. I don't know that he is so soley offensively focused as winning focused. But, not really in a productive way. I get the impression he wants to be like Robert Kraft and take credit for "taking a risk on Bill Belichick" and being successful.  His track record indicates that in the NFL and in his business life.
