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.

      You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
