NOTES

- Someone posted a scenario earlier today showing how the Panthers could make the playoffs even at 7-9.  That's great, but here's what sucks.  The Falcons apparently have that same opportunity, and besides the head to head with us, take a look at their schedule vs ours. And of course, if they beat us again it'd be a sweep and they'd hold the tiebreaker.

- The Saints and Rams are still duking it out for the #1 seed, though the remaining games on the Rams schedule are almost sickening to look at (more so if you're a Saints fan).  The Steelers, who screwed us some weeks back, might now screw us again by sucking at season's end and making the road easier for the Saints to stay in contention should anything unexpected happen. 

- The most vulnerable of the current Wild Card eligible teams looks to be the Vikings, not only because they have the lowest seed but also because their remaining schedule includes two games against teams with winning records. To be fair though, so do we (sort of).

- Among the also-rans, we're in a logjam with two NFC East teams who will play each other on the last week of the season.  As mentioned previously, we hold a tiebreaker over the Eagles but not the Redskins.  The Redskins, however, are down to about their 15th choice at quarterback, so it doesn't look good for them. The Eagles may be starting a backup too, but that was true last year as well.

- Bottom Line: Any realistic scenario of the Panthers making the playoffs involves winning out, which means beating the Saints twice, once in their stadium.  And even then, we'll still need help. Lose again, and the amount of help we need gets greater.  Lose twice and it'd take a Christmas miracle for us to get in.

Odds are we're gonna end up being told there's no room at the inn, though we do have a nice stable with a comfy manger out back and some lovely parting gifts. But hey, ya never know...

yeah. considering the schedule we have ahead of us, it's pretty stinking unlikely that we will get in the playoffs and even then, I can't see us beating any of the teams we'd be facing. there's  no way we're beating the bears or the cowboys. the bears D will totally decimate the offense and we aren't the same panthers team that beat the cowboys earlier in the year and they DEFINTELY aren't the same cowboys team we beat. we have no confidence and have collapsed in on ourselves and they got a legit WR that has really opened things up for them and everything else seems to be clicking at just the right time (sickens me to no end to have that as a reality).

just getting into the playoffs isn't a win. it's an open door for even further embarrassment. this team we've seen the last 5 weeks has no business being in the playoffs and won't be more than one and done if we do get in.

I have no confidence in any phase of this team anymore and the season I was so excited about even a month ago I am anxious to end just to get moving onto the next phase of panthers history.

I haven't been this frustrated and disappointed as a fan since '07.

I’m not sure I’ve ever been this frustrated and disappointed as a fan

Just read that Seattle clinches a playoff spot this weekend if they win.

They're playing the 49ers.

That would leave only one playoff spot open (the 6th seed).

So first step is pulling for Miami vs The Vikes and then hope we win on Monday night? 

Would that scenario give us control if we win out ?

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
