Do you think we have a realistic shot after a loss tomorrow?

It’s Saturday not much to talk about.

Let’s be real, the Panthers will be 4-6 tomorrow.

At the same time I expect a win vs. WFT and Miami putting us at 6-6. Although I must say the Dolphins win over the Ravens was…weird.

That leaves the Panthers 6-6 vs. 

4-4 Falcons (home)

5-3 Bills (away)

6-2 Bucs (home)

5-3 Saints (away)

6-2 Bucs (away)

The Panthers will pretty much need to win 3/5 of these last games, but more likely 4/5 and that’s…hard to see. Yea yea any given Sunday and all that. But this is discussing logical outcomes.

(very) General outlooks:

NFC South

Good news: 

The Saints have roughly just as tough of a remainder schedule.

Bad news:

Even though we know they’re a lock…the Bucs have it easy peasy.

Meh:

Falcons….slightly easier schedule than Saints. Still very much in position to knock Panthers out but I don’t see it happening. One of the few teams (literally 3) with an oline ranked worse by one spot than the Panthers. lol

Also, one of the leagues worst defenses. The fact they’re 4-4 is dumbfounding.

Outside the south, NFC top 3 contenders:

Vikings:

Relatively tough schedule. Don’t see it for them.

Seahawks:

This team is the issue imo. Wilson is back, oline and defense isn’t great lately just below average overall,  have 3 very easy games left, but are only one win behind the Panthers. Personally I see it coming down to them and just maybe (unlikely) 49ers being the only obstacle.

49ers:

Again one win behind the Panthers but have 4 reasonably easy teams left. They also have a top 10 oline. However more importantly, a below average defense that seems to be getting worse.

Yes. No more injuries and 9 and 8 is possible

It’s very possible… 9 wins gets you in and one thing people are forgetting is there is only one bye per conference.

If the bye is locked up for a team by week 17 then you’ll see a lot of teams that have already clinched rest guys.

The Panthers stand a good shot at rolling into week 17 going against a Bucs team who isn’t playing anyone…

Soooo for example:

Arizona - Loss

Washington - Win

Miami - Win

Atlanta - Win

Bills - Loss

Bucs - Loss

Saints - Win

Bucs - Win

Now we’re sitting at 9-7 and going into the postseason as the sixth or seventh seed.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
