5-3 without a healthy Cam?  Many here would have taken that in a second.  

Many would take that WITH a healthy Cam!

The better teams will end with the better records.  Are we the better team?  Its all about us.  Quit worrying about everyone else.

[Happy Panther]

All the teams ahead of us play each other.

We need to go 2-1 against the bad teams on the schedule and 3-2 against the good teams if you believe 10-6 will get us in.. Yesterday was a needed and solid win.

 If the playoffs started today we'd be the 8th seed. 

• 1. 49ers 8 - 0  (5 - 0 conference) (NFC WEST DIVISION LEADER) (1 SEED)
• 2. Saints 7 - 1 (5 - 1 conference)  (NFC SOUTH DIVISION LEADER) (2 SEED) 
• 3. Packers 7 - 2 (4 - 1 conference) (NFC NORTH DIVISION LEADER) (3 SEED)
• 4. 8. Cowboys 4 - 3 ( 3 - 2 conference)  (NFC EAST DIVISION LEADER) (4 SEED)
• 5. Seahawks 7 - 2 (4 - 1 conference) (5th SEED)
• 6. Vikings 6 - 3 ( 5 - 2 conference)  (6th SEED)

 

• On the Outside  Looking In...

 

• 7. Rams 5 - 3 ( 3 - 3 conference) (with head to head tiebreaker over Panthers) (7th SEED)
• 8. Panthers 5 - 3 (2 - 3 conference )  (8th SEED) 
• 9. Eagles 5 - 4 (3 - 4 conference)  (9th SEED)
• 10. Lions 3-4-1 (2-2-1 conference) (10th SEED) 

 

Getting off to a bad start in the NFC has left almost ZERO room for error. We pretty much have to beat the Packers if we even want to sniff the playoffs wc spot. 

Lol def not true. You probably said the same thing week 1. Literally half a season left, teams will collapse and rise. Guess what, we were 6-2 last year right now and how did that work out? FOH

Starting 0-2 with our franchise QB out indefinitely?

I'll take it.

Bring on the Packers.

We aren’t making the playoffs. We’re going to be 9-7 at best. More likely will be 7-9 or 8-8. If we had at least been competitive against the 49ers I’d be more optimistic.

I am ok not making the playoffs - we aren't a super bowl team this year.  I would like a winning record, though.  Then get another one next year and get that annoying streak over.

2 games vs NO

1 gm vs Seattle

and playing GB this Sunday. 
 

Win all and won’t have anything to worry

[bigdavis]

By Dec 15, when we play Seattle here (and home advantage against that team is a big thing), we should have AT LEAST 8 wins (2 x Atlanta, plus Wash) -- with 3 to play, all tough ones.  That's WITHOUT an upset win at GB or N.O.

I'm optimistic (what else is new?) IF we're rolling then, even 11 wins is not impossible.  With 1/2 a season to play, many teams will suffer unthought-of injuries, too, which can change everything overnight.  Let's let it play out, and keep a good thought.
