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.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
