Tankers Guide to Today's games


MHS831

Recommended Posts

  • Tampa Bay DEFEATED Atlanta (4-10)
  • San Fran (5-9) LOST TO Dallas (5-9)
  • Detroit (5-9) LOST TO Tennessee
  • Houston (4-10) LOST TO  Indy
  • Philly (4-8-1) at Arizona
  • Cleveland at New York Giants (5-8)
  • Cincinnati (2-8-1) vs. Pittsburgh  If the Bengals can upset the Steelers or the Ravens somehow, and beat Houston, they could end up with a better record (4-11-1) than the Panthers.  Long shot at best.

Kansas City at New Orleans (10-3)  Reason?  If you want the Panthers to tank, the Saints must stay with the Packers to have a shot at the bye.  For a first round home game, they need to compete with the Rams and/or Seahawks.  A Saints win keeps pressure on Green Bay.  We do not need another week 17 moral victory that costs us 4-6 draft spots from New Orleans.  Make them need to beat us.

I don’t see not even a single one of these happening lol. Except the Saints.

Also the Panthers can beat Washington.

Man this sucks.

One of these teams will upset someone--Dallas is my guess.  The Giants (a game up on us) could take the Browns.  I would LOVE to see Atlanta and New Orleans win.

Panthers CAN beat any team. Washington’s defense is made to make Bridgewaters life hell. I don’t think we’ll beat WFT or Saints. I think they’ll play players even if they are eliminated from first seed. They have a chance to be the first NFC South team to sweep the division.

    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
    • Yeah, this is all projections of how it will turn out. Inevitability this list will look ridiculous in a full 2025 sesson hindsight, most likely. Still, I am pretty surprised that so many bristled at being thought of as having very, very lowly ranked WR and TE units. We literally have been for years. All you have to do is just have things stay the same and those are immediately bottom 5 units. It is easy to see why one would be reticent to have lofty expectations in the preseason. Gotta show it first when you are a perennial cellar dweller. That's just life at the bottom.
