How crucial is tomorrow’s game? Panthers made the playoffs 100% of the time when starting 4-1 or better

We definitely want a win but if we are going to use historical data to try to predict what will happen, that data also says that if we dont go 5 and 0 we lose in the divisional round.  Stats like most of us know can be used in many different ways.   That being said, KB fan you are great at giving us the information and I have really appreciated it!  I'm definitely a pessimist when it comes to the Panthers as you can tell by what I just posted but the work you put in is exceptional.

I knew someone would comment on that!

(It's more like, unless we go 5-0 we won't make it to the Superbowl, but point taken!)

Of course, looking at the history is just for fun and to show trends.

Stats are NOT deterministic. We could go 6-1, have Matt Kalil return, Cam gets killed and we end up 6-10...

Or we could lose a bunch, wind up 3-5 and then go on a massive "Ron wants to save his job" end of season tear, win 8 straight, and plow through the playoffs as the hottest team in the league...

Winning vs Washington today should bode well. It puts us in good position towards a winning season and the playoffs. But still a lot of football ahead!

When you only play 16 games every game is crucial. More than likely we will be trying to keep up with the Aints, somehow we don’t play them until week 15 and 17
