Big Game this weekend

Titans at Green Bay

Minnesota at New Orleans

If the Titans can upset Green Bay in the frozen tundra and the Saints win in N.O,

The Saints will play to win against us as GB wil go to Chicago. If the Bears upset GB, New Orleans will be in position to grab the #1 seed. 

All Panther fans should be pulling for Tennessee this weekend.

Wrong. We should all 100% be rooting our asses off for Minnesota to beat New Orleans and Tampa Bay to beat the Lions. Then the Aints have no chance at the #1 seed and will be playing to win against us because if they lose to us they lose the division.

Splitting atoms.

As long as they come to play us in week 17  I could give a rats ass which way it happens.

I prefer that they have zero shot of getting the 1 seed, even if that means they play backups against us in week 17 (we still probably lose anyways).

I think Tennessee has a good shot at beating Green Bay but I seriously doubt the Bears beat them in week 17.  So the Packers would remain #1 seed.    The point, for me, is that New Orleans doesn't slack off against us.

We played them well earlier in the season in New Orleans.  We're not completely out of it.

Even with only two games left, there are still a lot of permutations on the table.  Whichever one puts the Saints in a position to play their best against us is the one we should be hoping for.  First seed is clearly the most attractive, as it's the only one with a bye.  Both GB and NO should be focused on that.

That said, I just don't see the Saints losing at home to the Vikings . . . the Vikings aren't very good and their locker room is showing some cracks.  I could see the Titans beating the Packers.  Packers sort of appear to be coasting a bit, which might open a door.  Titans are a good team.  A Packers loss and a Saints win appears to be "possible", and would be a great scenario for the Panthers.

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
