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.

    • See my previous post. You're also leaving out that T-Mac was likely hitting a rookie wall, like 95% of rookies do late in their first season, combined with the added attention on him by defenses, which in turn would be why Bryce looked Coker's way down the stretch.  With Coker playing like that to start next year, defenses will have to pay attention to it, which will then also make things easier for T-Mac. All of which is also ignoring that T-Mac will just be a better player next year than he was this year, assuming he works on his game this offseason, which we all know he will be.  If a player who was already your clear cut #1 comes back even better his next season, you're going to make sure you're throwing it his way more often, no matter who else you have. Again, Coker's added targets won't be at the expense of T-Mac's, they will BOTH be taking targets from the rest of the team.  Not to mention, we should be passing it more next year to begin with, seeing as we'll have both of them hopefully ready to go full speed Week 1, which again, will help both their target totals increase. Coker looks like a really good player, but even the most optimistic person can't say he looks like he has #1 potential, he has very solid to maybe even high end #2 potential.  You're not taking targets away from the reigning OROY who looks like a true Top 15 WR already to get your #2 targets, you increase both of them by taking from the others.
    • Need to crush the hawks tonight. A lose would really damage momentum 
    • Sorry, but this is a terrible breakdown that doesn't at all show what you're trying to say/project about T-Mac next year, as it leaves out key information that changes everything, it makes the opposite point that you're trying to. Chase missed 5 games that second season after playing all 17 as a rookie (and still saw more targets that second season). Puka it looks like you projected his stats out to a 17 game season (as he only played 11 games), but even still , when you have 160+ targets as a rookie, there isn't really much room to get any more the next year. Waddle saw an increase in yards, and sure, his targets went down, but he played on a team with a better WR that year who saw 170 targets for 1,710 yards during that 2nd season for Waddle... something T-Mac doesn't have to contend with on the same team (280+ targets for their top 2 WRs, if you don't think T-Mac would see more than 122 targets if him and Coker combined for 287, then you're nuts). Then Olave and Wilson both saw an increase of 19 targets in their second season. You basically just laid out the reasoning for why T-Mac should see at least 20 more targets next year, if not more, which would be a solid increase and put him easily into the Top 10 most targeted WR next season.
