Playoffs Ain’t Over

Glass half full, most of the league is wildly inconsistent this year. If you told me that in a few months the Panthers would be 10-7, I'd believe it. If you told me they would be 7-10, I'd believe it. This is a weird year and with the 17 game season, everything is wide open.

Bucs are world beaters until they run into the Saints and WFT.

Rams think they have the Greatest Show on Turf 2.5 and then get rocked by the 49ers.

Cowboys are on top of the world and then Teddy McMittens and the Broncos stomp them.

Packers lost to the Saints early, went on a run and then Vikings got em today. 

Cardinals were great, hit an injury patch and look pedestrian now. 

In the AFC the Titans and Bills were juggernauts until they got the brakes beat off them.

Long story short, call it parity or just crazy inconsistency but there are exactly 0 teams that look unbeatable and exactly 0 that are completely futile. Even the Lions fight like hell even if the results don't show it. It's just a weird year.

Fug thinking about the playoffs. A big part of why we're flailing is because this team is way too quick to start feeling themselves. We had Fitts and Rhule openly talking about playoffs at 3-0. We proceed to faceplant. We sign Cam and beat the hell out of a badly shorthanded Cardinals team and then we faceplant against a bad Washington team.

This team has to learn to just take things one game at a time.

This.  Our team played more like a Rivera team today than Rivera's team played like a Rivera team with the old trademark failing to show up when it matters.

I'm not thinking playoffs anymore.  We have lost to virtually every middling team playing for the last 2 wildcard spots, thus giving them the tiebreaker over us, so it's likely over.  

Furthermore, today was supposed to be a winnable game, and yet, we laid a big fat fuging egg, so there are no more such things as winnable games for us until after the fact.  This team is poorly coached and wins in spite of it, but are far more likely to lose because of it.

Our next two games are very winnable, personally I also think the Saints gave is very winnable for us as we’ll. I also think we could steal a game from the Bills due to our defense matching up well with speed. The Bucs are rough but taking 1 game out of the two is possible. Cam is back, the offense looked solid the defense will play better. Keep pounding!
 

 

Other ppl here won’t say it but it’s good to have some positivity and optimism on this board after a bad game.. All is not lost and reality is we’re still in year 2 of a total rebuild and most analysts didn’t have us in the playoff picture anyway…

I salute you sir..

I couldn’t agree more, this year there’s really no unbeatable team. It’s really all about matchups this year it’s really hard to know who’s really the best team.

today left me uninspired, lowering my expectations to nothing until the last game might be best for my mental health

Today was bittersweet, obviously we lost which sucks. But on the bright side Cam looked great and it was actually fun watching a good qb play on our team. He will only get better with time too to gain chemistry and learn the playbook further and allow the Panthers to game plan around Cam.

At this point making the playoffs probably sets the team back another two years 

Dude what? First off there is literally zero abs worth drafting(I wanna keep Cam anyway) and secondly we don’t even have half of our draft picks this draft winning really actually wouldn’t affect us very much at all. Keep kicking the can down the road and think you’ll win then doesn’t work, strive to win and build up your organization to develop players and sustain success.

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
