Our remaining schedule

We are 5-6, we realistically need to be 9-8 to have a shot at a wildcard. Do you think with out remaining schedule we can do it? We would have to sweep NO and beat the Bucs at least one. 

@MIA 
vsATL
@BUFF 
vsTB 
@NO 
@TB  

I think with the explosiveness we saw from Cam, and gettting healthier, we can make a push. I have a very hard time believing we will go into Buffalo and win, or sweep TB, but the others look largely winnable. All comes down to this teams perseverance, and coaching (unfortunately).

Buffalo, and the two TB games will be losses imo. That's 5-9. The other games are 50/50. I think we're probably headed to 7-10.

Still the main point is even if you grant 9-8 the other teams there have already beaten us and would have the tie breaker. its not just one team either, its not just two teams either....all this playoff talk is just arbitrary numbers without consideration of any other team and whats actually going on elsewhere in the league.

49ers were out of the playoff picture until recently too and are there above us too at 5-5

I've got Miami, Atlanta and NO, that's it.  Now knowing us we will lose one of these and pull an upset versus TB or the Bills.  Any way you slice it though, I can't get us another 4 wins.  Yesterday was about as much of a lock of a win as there could have been.  We pissed it away.

9-8 would still be dicey. We can probably only lose one more game and have a legit good shot at the playoffs. We lose two and we're gonna need a lot of help due to tie breakers.

And the team that just beat us isn't out of it yet either. As they said on the broadcast we have the hardest remaining schedule and WFT has one of the easiest left. They are 4-6 with Seattle, Raiders, EaglesX2, Dallas, and Giants.

If the WFT that stomped Tampa and beat us shows up they are 9-8 if you just hand them 2 Cowboys losses and have the tie breaker over us.

10th now from 7th to start the week. This is one of the craziest years though with so many teams with the same record or within 1 game of each other in the middle of the NFC. Usually you have a number of 2-14 teams or 4-12 but a lot of 5 win teams already.

with how messy every team is this season, we can win every game and lose every game. I dont like the idea of listing games as automatic losses or wins because thats how we lost yesterday.

Some teams can happily do that and be more correct than not. The Panthers have only been that team one year at all in their existence.

Just look at the size of the offensive lines and the running backs of the teams we are up against. 

I'm looking at that schedule and saying we beat the Falcons, the #28 rushing offense. The Saints sit at #25 but they are better than that. Miami is at #22 and that could be problematic. The WTFs vaulted to #20 based on their performance against us.

If we can't stop the run, it won't matter if we have Cam in at QB and CMC as RB. Those guys will just stay on the bench while the other team walks up and down the field, eating the clock and putting up 24-28 points.

We've been found out and exposed. And we don't have the offensive line to post much more than 21 points, much less a receiving corps. DJ Moore is our only reliable receiver not wearing the number 22.

    • 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.
