The path to Super Bowl 52 might run through Charlotte

EDITED

Our only chance to host a playoff game is if Atlanta wins out. If they win next week and we win against the Saints (a tall order to be sure), we play the Vikings and they play Philly. If we both win, the NFC Championship runs through Charlotte.

Beating the Saints is our priority, of course, and if we can't beat them once in three games that's pretty bad. If we beat them, we play a decimated Philadelphia team.

What about the other bracket? It's Atlanta at LA, then the winner of that against a good Minnesota team.

If Atlanta wins both of those games, the NFC Championship game is back in Charlotte. A revenge match to end all revenge matches. I think we can do it.

We play the Vikings if the Falcons win.  And if the Falcons don't win, then it would be impossible for a playoff game to be played in Charlotte.

So yeah.

Eh, I see very little chance Atlanta makes it past either let alone both. They could barely outmuscle our putrid offense at home. The Rams are going to destroy the Falcons defense.

Falcons defense has been top 10 this year.   Rams offense destroying the Falcons defense is not a given. Nobody on the Rams has any playoff experience either.

Less worried about our defense (which has been good this season) than our misfiring offense (banged up interior OL in particular) against Aaron Donald and friends. Matt Ryan is gonna need some IcyHot.

    • Most of the talk revolving around Baker's injury is speculation. It wouldn't surprise me if the Bucs have been gaming the injury report but Bowles has already been fired from one head coaching gig. He's decidedly mediocre at best as a head coach. I just don't want to see the Bucs upgrade. But if they do fire Bowles and hire a first time head coach I think things could get bumpy with Baker Mayfield at the helm sooner or later. As far as Coen it's still early. I remember when Brian Daboll was a hot name his first couple seasons with the Giants. Now he's unemployed. It's a marathon not a sprint. We're seeing less and less coaches with true staying power. Or at least certainly less that don't ultimately hit a wall by year 3 or 4. I don't think we're gonna see too many John Harbaugh's and Mike Tomlin's in the coming years. Too much outside noise and too little patience nowadays.
    • Frank what are you even talking about? He was the #1 QB in his high school class and the #2 overall recruit. Why would he be at a smaller school? Dude threw for dang near 5000 yards his sophomore season at Alabama with Jamison Williams and John Metchie. Good players but more speed than skilled. Maybe that's this dude's problem. Panthers keep bringing in big body WRs, but maybe he needs wiry fast guys instead.  CJ Stroud threw for over 4000 that season too. Care to look at his receivers?
    • You can blame DC or you can blame Bryce but reality is it’s both of them. Bryce is making the decision to check down so much but DC isn’t committed to the run 🤷‍♂️
