9-7 probably gets in, but even that looks like it could be a struggle to get to. 10-6 would be nice, but I'm not counting on winning all but the Saints games. 

They'll slip up at some point, but nothing about our defense has shown we can stop them.  Our last resort option is to weirdly turn into the Saints/an old version of them.  Try to outscore teams, run the hurry up, and just pray the defense gets a turnover.

Best scenario we can hope for at this point:

- Saints win out through week 16

- Rams lose at least 1 more

- Saints sit starters for week 17

- We enter week 17 9-6

- We beat the Saints backups and finish as the 5th seed, traveling to Dallas for round 1

- Beat Dallas and head to LA, then pray that the Saints stumble

- Win Super Bowl 53

- Eric Washington uses the playoff run to attract Thomas Dimitroff, and becomes the head coach in Atlanta

- Matt Khalil does something in the offseason to breach his contract

- Texans let Clowney walk and he gets Hurney'd

Not looking good. 2 guaranteed L’s to the Saints. Atlanta has owned us. Seattle is going to be tough. Should beat Browns and Bucs but I also thought we’d win today. It’ll come down to the last game and a win and you’re in scenario against the Saints so we better pray they can sit their starters.

Seahawks game is a must-win.  Really, the next 3 games are.  If we go into Week 15 against the Saints at anything less than 9-4, we will need to win at least 2 games in a stretch against the Saints-Falcons-Saints to get to 10 wins and hope that is good enough.

Packers out of it, I think.  They just aren't very good.  Who knows with the Cowboys.  If we can beat the Seahawks, I don't think they'd get to 10 wins (that would put them at 5-6 with games left vs Vikings and Chiefs).

im not sure we can beat the browns....seriously

The Panthers have to beat Seattle next week or the season is over. They cannot drop another inexplicable game to a team they should beat or this season is done. And if the Panthers miss the playoffs after starting 6-2, Ron Rivera and his entire staff HAS to be fired.

I  wish we didn't look like hot trash right now.  We do not look like a good team.  We just don't.  Those 5 quarters, 4th  qrt of the eagles and all 4  qrts of the bucs game seem so long ago.  I guess we peaked early.

You can only run so many double reverses...

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
