This is for those who have not already figured this out.  If you have, no need to post, "I have already figured this out; no need for a thread."  We understand that and applaud your cerebral tenacity, but people may want to discuss these games.

All of this is based on the Panthers finishing the year at 5-11.  The unpredictable NFC East offers the most opportunity.

1. If the Giants defeat Dallas, the Panthers move up.  The game is in NY, and although the fans may not be a factor, the weather might.  Dallas is favored by 3.

2. If the Eagles beat WFT, the Panthers move up.  The WFT is playing their 4th QB and must win to make the playoffs.  The Eagles are eliminated but playing at home.  Jalen has them playing better.  The Eagles are 1.5 point underdogs.

3.  The Falcons, known for their uncanny ability to snatch a loss from the jaws of victory, will play at Tampa Bay.  The Bucs are favored by 7, but they should win easily.  However, if they look past Atlanta.....

4. Perhaps the third most likely opportunity for the Panthers to move up a spot will be the Detroit vs. Minnesota game.  The Vikings are favored by a TD, but they have lost 3 straight.  The Lions--the worst team in the history of the NFL---also have a 3-game losing streak and have been playing as if they are OK with that.  The Lions are at home and lost to Minnesota earlier this year. 

So if the Panthers got lucky in all 4 of those games, they could pick as low as 5th.  But I see maybe 1 or at the most 2 games that could feature an upset:  The Eagles and the Giants.  Maybe the Lions--maybe.

If we think Wilson is a franchise QB and we pick at 7, we are going to have to make an uncomfortable trade. On one had it takes away valuable picks, but if he really is an Aaron Rogers clone, I'm good with that. We simply have to scout and draft well. No more quick fixes, do it right from the ground up. And, yes, I believe Wilson is all that and worth the trade up.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
