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.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Jeremy Fowler draft intel on the Panthers: “Carolina was high on Proctor. If he somehow slipped to 19, he was a viable option.” “Caleb Lomu was on the Panthers short list too.” “Panthers weren’t totally comfortable with Stowers there at 49.”   https://x.com/panthersontap/status/2049827264972353727?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      No saying he mostly sucks is saying that he doesn’t suck the minority of the time.   Like if he took 17 tests and had a couple of really good showings and a handful of pretty good scores sprinkled in among the typical sub par results.   Like a golfer who went out and shot an 89.  There will be some real nice shots sprinkled in there but at the end of the day it is still 89.

      It's worth mentioning... Game 1: Oct 11 in Raleigh. 4-3 OT win with a complete starting lineup. Game 2: Dec 13 in Philly. 4-3 SO win without Jaccob Slavin. Game 3: Dec 14 in Raleigh. 3-2 SO win with a complete starting lineup. Game 4: Apr 13 in Philly. 3-2 SO loss with the AHL roster.  Those early season games were no indication of the Canes team that finished the season. Miller and Ehlers were still trying to figure things out, Nikishin was still a work in progress and the Stankoven line was just another line. Make no mistake, the Canes team Philly will see is nothing close to what they saw at any point in the season. If the top line starts producing, Freddie stays hot and the blue line does what it does, this could be a sweep as well.
