false, Bucs can win, then Falcons beat Saints, then we beat Falcons = Panthers 3 seed hosting the Failclowns

 

edit: actually this scenario ^ happens no matter what happens tonight

Unless Minnesota and the Rams lose a game each, then we are two seed and taking a week off to see who survives the first round.

How would we not be pulling for the Bucs?

woild give us separation in the wild card and the Falcons would be playing with their back against the wall next week

Because I DO NOT want to have to go to NO in the wild card round.

If Atlanta can’t beat Tampa they sure as hell ain’t going into NO on a short week and winning. 

But theres pros and cons to both outcomes tonight. Yeah if Atlanta loses next week becomes a must win for their playoff hopes but if they win tonight then they’re playing for the division next week.

How they do against the Bucs will have little impact on their ability to win next week.  Winning at New Orleans will be difficult, no doubt, but each game is different.  That is why we were able to beat Detroit, Minnesota, and Green Bay, but lost to Chicago by double digits.

So they're basically playing for something next week at the saints regardless of the outcome tonight. I'd rather have them lose and have to be desperate to make the playoffs

Might lose to Bucs because they are overlooking them and focusing on NO.

Yeah it’s pretty much a whatever you prefer. 

It’s pretty obvious we’re heading to NO wild card round

    • I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.
    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
