OK, crazy idea but let me lay out a scenario for the panthers nabbing a wild card spot. Here it goes.

4-6 Panthers: @NYJ W, TB W, @NE W, MIN W, @NYG W, NO W. 10-6

6-4 Packers @ DET W, BAL L, @CHI W, PIT L, @ SEA W, @ARI W. 10-6

6-4 Giants: @DEN L, DAL L, PHI W, @ WAS W, CAR L, @MIN W. 9-7

5-5 Falcons TB W, PHI L, NO L, @NYJ W, BUF W, @TB W. 9-7

5-5 Eagles (Assuming Chicago wins tonight) WAS W, @ ATL W, @NYG L, SF W, DEN L, @ DAL L. 9-7

5-5 Bears @MIN L, STl W, GB L, @ BAL L, MIN W, @ DET W. 8-8

The panthers winning out does not seem probable but the way i figure it the Vikings and the Saints will have clinched their respective divisions by the time we play them. Expect Favre to sit after week 14. The saints will have nothing to play for week 17. Smash and Dash will tear apart the jets' run defense next week. Tampa Bay is a gimme win. That leaves the pats and the giants. I expect us to beat the patriots out of sheer hatred. We'll beat the giants in a similar fashion to get revenge for loss they gave us late last season.

Hoping for this to happen is probably foolish but panthers fans have to optimistic, right?

Those are just stupid scenarios at this point. Heck, I don't even think that the Bucs have been officially eliminated from the playoffs yet, doesn't mean they have a chance of making it.

If the Packers had lost today, I would have entertained the possibility since we'd just be one out again. But there are just simply too many teams standing in our way for the wild cards and too many great teams we still have to play. It ain't happening.

Perhaps, but this team has shown that it can run the ball effectively and still not win the game.

Tampa Bay is a gimme win.

There are no "gimme wins" in this league. Didn't you see the Bills game?

I expect us to beat the patriots out of sheer hatred

If you could beat the Patriots with just sheer hatred, don't you think more teams in the league would do so?

Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible - but if the Panthers have to win out to grab a playoff spot, it just ain't happening. And that's coming from someone who still hasn't counted the Panthers out.

I'll entertain this idea when I get back from the moon planting more banana and coconut trees.

You better put some fuging persimmon trees up there! I'm tired of going all the way to the damn moon and not having a single fuging persimmon.

      Reviewing the All-22: Week 1 @ JAX

      By Navy_football · Posted

      DB was getting washed early. Even in 1v1 situations. I think he figured it out later, but they definitely gave him more breaks in this game than I've ever seen him take. There was a play where an olineman rolled B. Brown up. The next play he absolutely wrecked the play. Need that BB to show up early on Sunday.

      2025 Salary Cap Offense/Defense

      I think Morgan has had the right general idea. The problem has been in execution.    Bryce year 1, there were myriad issues from roster talent to coaching and scheme, but the offensive line was particularly glaring. So they went out and  fixed the o-line by signing Hunt and Lewis.  That fix actually seems to have been at least moderately successful.    Last year, pass rush was a major issue. So they invested along the defensive line and at edge. The problem is, they either expended too many resources over correcting—partially because in free agency, when you’re a shitty franchise, you have to overpay to get talent in the door—or they didn’t make the right picks. It’s probably too early to pass judgment on the free agent class or draft picks as it’s only been one game. So we’ve got a small sample size and rookie edges may take time to develop. But if game 1 is any indication, they didn’t solve the problem.

      This is getting out of hand again. I swear some of yall just look for reasons to call out the QB, in an extremely thinly vieled "OFFENSIVE CAP HIT" statement.  All of that is offensive line. It was an overreaction to how horrible the guards were in 2023, where guys were starting multiple games that will never take a snap in the NFL again. Speaking of 2023... where did the offensive cap rank then? Where are those WRs playing in the league now? How much are the WRs, TEs and RBs making compared to the rest of the NFL? We have two, 1st round WRs on the roster. And they are the only WRs on the roster picked before the 4th round. One shouldn't have been a first rounder, he's only in his second season, AND he was literally outplayed by an UDFA rookie WR last year - that is currently on IR. The other WR picked before the 4th round has only played one game as a pro.  QB play needs to improve. Absolutely no friggin doubt about that. But, come on. That dude has not been dealt a fair hand, no matter how many ways you try to spin it. Let's hope he figures out how to make chicken salad out of the chicken poo this team has served him his entire time here. Hoping that this org finds another Cam Newton is not really a realistic expectation.
