I didn't understand the playoff talk and I damn sure don't understand it now. This team is incomplete. That's why many people were saying get yourself the best draft pick you can and build up this offense in the offseason. And for goodness sake enough with this defensive identity tomfoolery. The best teams in the league are putting up 30 points consistently and at least giving themselves a solid chance. We are not one of them.

I think just making the playoffs is good enough for those people. Does matter if we can make the Super Bowl or not. They are just happy to be there.

Blah blah blah. Who among us will actually root for the Cowboys or anyone else if we make the playoffs? Well...

If you do, you may as well go root for them now. If you continually feel the need to root for the Panthers to tank, then maybe it's time to reassess things and go root for another team period.

If we somehow end up in the playoffs, I'm watching and cheering for the Panthers regardless of the outcome. Even if we get beat down, I'll still be a Panthers fan and will continue to be a Panthers fan.

No matter who wins the division, they'll be playing the cowboys. So basically it's one and done after getting beat by the cowboys and embarrassed on their home field with the message being, "you don't belong in the playoffs".

It would be a totally cowboys move to lose to the NFC South team. I mean if I'm a bubble team and get to choose any team to face in the playoffs it's the cowboys. 🤣

Tell another fan they aren’t a fan because they want to tank is gatekeeping and pathetic. 
If you want to cheer for the Panthers to make the playoffs enjoy it. But don’t tell another fan to go be a fan of another team just be they think making the playoffs is pointless and a high pick is better, in that fans opinion. 
Be Better.

I am with you on pulling for the team to win.  I do t feel good about backing into the top playoffs and don’t feel as excited   Due to where we are in terms of record and some of the lackluster performances. Feeling kinda meh but will definitely pull for them. Hell, it’s a home playoff game and a division title even if we do have a losing record.

I will NEVER EVER root for another team to beat the Panthers. It's anathema to me. I could easily label rooting for another team to beat my team as "pathetic."

Ask the players and coaches what they feel about so-called "fans" rooting for the other team. You already know how they feel about it. They'd probably call it pathetic...

I feel exactly the same. The reality is we have to win out and I doubt we can do that.

Oh there's no doubt about it. They will not win out. But that doesn't seem to matter because none of the other teams in the nfcs seem to want to win either.  If we win another game they may force us to take the title whether we want it or not. It's just that screwed up.

You're absolutely right but I think and no I'm not 100% on this but I THINK the Bucs might be slightly better than us.

      I just mean it’s always offsetting in that situation.  I didn’t realize they called another penalty

      Panthers decision to pass on Walker

      And as I asked this again before, what goes into PFF's man open %, as I know you've brought that stat up before. Is that just the number of routes he gets open at any point during the route, or is it calculated on targets and if he was open when the ball got to him. Because like I pointed out so many times in the lead up to the draft, a big reason it was harder for him to get separation against man was because he not only had his man on him, but he was double or triple teamed on the majority of his routes this past year.  Just because of that alone, it was easier for him to get open against zone coverage where he could find holes and sit in them. Also, again, as been discussed so many times, his QB's play this year was awful, and lots of times his contested catches were due to him not delivering the ball on time when T-Mac got open.  Or just times he got open but wasn't targeted for whatever reason. So just using that stat as a way to say he struggles to get open against man is more likely than not, disingenuous. Hell, it's a PFF stat that you're using against him, yet at the same time, PFF absolutely loves him, he was their 4th overall player.   I posted this clip on here a week or so ago of the T-Mac vs Hunter game in 2023, where the anti T-Mac guys like to say Hunter shut him down.  But numerous times in this video you see T-Mac create tons of separation from Hunter but the ball wasn't thrown his way, plus a clear PI that wasn't called (and the one that was). https://x.com/4MR_Fetti/status/1918262063660454227 The "he can't separate" narrative is way overblown and become something more myth than reality.  No, he's not an elite separator like some of the quick twitch WRs, but he's so much better than the haters here like to say.
