7-5 Record Within Panthers Reach

If the Panthers win against the Dolphins tonight, a 7-5 record is within their reach. "Inside The Panthers" thinks Jake will pick on the Dolphins rookie CB's, but if he does, he may find himself picked off rather than them picked on. The Dolphins have a strong blitz, that will try to take advantage of the Panthers O-line left side shift, so I hope the Panthers run a lot.

After tonight's game, the Panthers are at the Jets (4-5, after a 3-0 start) in week 12, and home against the Buccaneers (2-7) in week 13. If the Panthers win tonight, and those 2 games, then their record jumps to 7-5, and they are back into the wildcard playoff race, with 4 games left.

The really tough part of the schedule is the last 4 games, at the Patriots, home against the Vikings, at the Giants, and home against the Saints. With wins in their next 3 games, the Panthers would probably still have to win 3 of the last 4 games (maybe even sweep) to earn a wildcard playoff spot. While it might be possible to make the playoffs by winning only 1 (8-8) or 2 (9-7) of these games, it's unlikely.

The most likely of these games to be Panthers wins are the Giants (if they don't get things straightened out), followed by the Vikings or Saints. While it's unlikely in the next 3 games, if the Panthers continue to go with a no huddle offense, their defense might tire out in the last 4 games

dolphins, jets and bucs are NOT gimmies... those are going to be tough games.

now, games AT patriots, AT giants and games against the Saints and Minnesotta...damn near impossible.

7-5 within reach.......ok, i shouldn't say 7-5 is not within reach because my team is hurting and tonight might be the beginning of the end for this season for my fins. i'm just letting you know though......miami, new york jets and tampa bay bucs are NOT gimmies....those are going to be tough games.

no, the next 3 games are not gimmies at all. but they are very winnable games.

and those last 4 games are near impossible?

at NE- very very tough game, i dont see carolina winning.

at NYG- tough game, but also winnable. the giants are not playing good football right now.

vs Minn- tough game, but who have they really beaten? i think the vikings are good. but they have had close games against not so good teams. playing them at home should benefit us. its a winnable game

vs Saints- tough game, wasnt this game VERY close IN New Orleans? the saints defense really seems to be hurting with the loss of ellis. not to mention, the saints could have home field advantage already locked up. especially if Carolina beat Minnesota. So N.O. may be sitting players in the second half. so again, its a winnable game.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
