Huh? We are alone at 5-11 and the 3 teams with 6 wins have a higher SOS (we win tiebreak).

We likely cannot beat Houston’s SOS so we can only move by the Jets and Giants. The Jets play at Buffalo and they need to win to clinch the division so Jets are not likely to win. The Giants have been awful without Jones but there is a chance that Washington could decide to not try.

Barring some crazy results, we are pretty much locked into 6.

I'm gonna trust your math because I'm hammered and really don't want to get sad trying to find out exactly how poo we are.

How the hell did this team win 5 games??? 

Playing several terrible/depleted teams/back up QBs. 

I tried telling everyone at the beginning of the season that we beat 3 terrible, terrible teams... but I got bitched at for being a "debbie downer." The writing was on the wall when we barely escaped with a win against the Jets, a depleted Saints team, and the Texans.

Hold on there partner. WE beat the teams we are supposed to beat. That isn't the problem. Also we beat the Saints in one of those games when they beat an amazing team before. The problem didn't arise until we went to Dallas and faced a very good Defense and Darnold started seeing ghosts again. 

I'll never get the people that get mad for beating bad teams. Those are the teams you're supposed to beat. like wtf.

I’d be really upset if we trade down and only get an extra 2nd or 3rd. I’d also like to get one of the top tackles and use our 5 day 3 picks on IOL. Then in 2023 we can use the day 2 picks we should have kept this year on top IOL. I think this would be a really solid and talented OL:

LT - pick 6, LG - BC, C - 2023 2nd, RG - Houston’s 4th, RT - Moton

Hopefully, build out some real depth with the other 2022/2023 day 3 picks.

And then in 2024 we can draft a QB and he will take 2 years to develop so we might be competitive by 2026😀

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
