Welp.... What are the chances we win a playoff game?

This offense is horrendous. 2010 bad at the moment. 

 

Is there any way we can go on the road in the playoffs and win?

I actually think we have a better chance against N.O. for the 3rd time than travelling across country to the Pacific time zone and practicing and preparing in less than a week to face the Rams and Gurley and a Wade Phillips defense that Shula still hasn't adjusted for.

I would take that Goff led offense all day long over Brees/Ingram/Kamara and Co. We would likely be a dog in either of those games but I don't legitimately see a path to beating NO. There aren't many aspects of the game that they aren't clearly better than us.

Well, I was thinking that we really need to actually score some POINTS in this playoff game and I think we have a better chance of doing that against N.O. and not against Wade Phillips and Aaron Donald, et.al.

Plus, you're scared of Ingram/Kamara but not Gurley?

Well, New Orleans actually has a slightly higher rated defense(Y/GM and points) than LA. They also average more Y/GM rushing and passing. I am definitely not saying that I would not be concerned about the Rams, but I do think the Saints are legitimately better. Both offensively and defensively.

That's fair.

The fact is that I don't think we win against either one, so it really doesn't matter... lol.

Yeah, sadly, I think that is true as well. This has to be one of our weakest playoff teams we have ever had. The offense is essentially just Cam, at this point. The defense is not a dominant one either. Injuries and offseason moves sort of doomed us late.

Yup unless they totally beat themselves we are going to get dismantled.

      Aaron Rodgers to the Panthers?

      If you want attention to something, I feel like the report button works better than just saying mods in the thread.  I assume it sends them an alert, as I doubt they just continuously watch this place.   Just trying to help, if you actually see something somewhere that needs intervention or you feel this does.

      Yes, in the absence of your big brain, those points have been discussed ad nauseum around here. Most stable individuals can see that the org sucks since Tepper took over. We can’t change that fact so we debate Bryce’s viability as a QB into oblivion. Bryce has shown the occasional flash but it is year 3 and decisions have to be made. I personally don’t think he’s cut out for this but as a fan of the Panthers I hope that somehow it works.

      I agree that perspective is important.  I also think that it's fine to take the wins when you can.  So the Panthers have started playing a lot better against bad teams after the first couple of weeks.  Cool, I'll take that.  Will it continue?  I don't know.  The Jets could be the uber trap/Steve Wilks revenge buzzsaw that sucks all the life and wind out of us.  Or we could beat them and the narrative still wouldn't change because they are a really bad team. Here's my long perspective:  We've been one of the worst teams since we traded for Bryce - talent level, wins, etc.  Any metric will show that.  This year, we are improving.  Maybe we're not bottom tier trash.  Maybe we're just to below average.  That's growth as far as I'm concerned.  I'll take that.
