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.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By frankw · Posted

      I like what Freeling brings to the table all around. If he is willing to put in the work he has an opportunity to be one of the better Tackles in the league down the line. Hunter Brazzell and Hecht are all premium additions but development from our staff are the key to unlocking them. Hopefully Lee and Wheatley will provide much needed additional depth to our secondary. Beyond that it's important not to get too caught up in draft grades. Many drafts over the years that turned out to be really good were not fawned over with praise. While some that were ended up being historical duds. Panthers fans ought to know this as well as anyone. In conclusion...

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      Maybe a bit of a homer take but I can't give us a grade lower than A.   Freeling was arguably the best LT prospect in the draft.  His athletic ability is off the chart and at 6'7" that can move.  It was a no brainer pick.   Hunter's key word is Violence. Putting him next to Brown should scare an offensive coordinator. These two give Scourton and Phillips plenty of chances to get one on one opportunities. Brazzell, another tall receiver with sprinter speed.  Our WR room is filled with tall talented WR.  Brazzell is going to give us a WR that can take to roof off the defense.  Basically Jimmy Horn with size. W. Lee III has a nickname of the Blanket. (heard this on the Beleav podcast with J. Stewart)  What a great name.  A great value in the 5th round. Hecht A strong, fast and extremely smart center. Many had him listed as the best center in the draft.  He's most likely a starter sooner than later. Wheatley A good safety in round 5.  Someone who could see playing time.   Kuwatch  I love this pick.  At minimum he will be a key piece on special teams and with some good coaching he'll see some packages where he'll play.  His down piece is he doesn't stay up in the running game.  Good coaching will fix this.  He reminds me a bit of A.J. Klein.   All these picks were great value.  I believe everyone of them were graded higher than the pick we took them.   Dan Morgan is IMO doing a great job turning this team into a good team with great depth.
