say we do run the table and end up with a 9-7 record (unrealistic)-

here is what would (realistically) need to happen for us to make the playoffs:

Carolina 5-7

@NE - W

MIN - W

@NYG - W

NO - W

9-7

Green Bay 7-4 (currently #6 WC)

BAL - L

@CHI - L - absolutely need CHI to win

@PIT - L

SEA - W

@ARZ - L

8-8

NY Giants 7-5

PHI - L

@WASH - W

CAR - L

@MINN - L

8-8

Atlanta 6-6

NO - L - absolutely need NO to win

@JETS - W

BUF - W

@TB - W

9-7

San Fran 5-7

ARZ - L

@PHI - L

DET - W

@STL - W

7-9

Chicago 5-7

GB - W

@BAL - L

MIN - L

@DET - W

7-9

so in the end:

9-7 CAR (we would own the tiebreaker over ATL)

9-7 ATL

8-8 NYG

8-8 GB

7-9 SF

7-9 CHI

Interesting, as much as I'm trying to fight it...the optimist in me is rising to the surface....ATL may very well lose to the Jets and Bills, unless they get their players back...and Matty Ice wasn't exactly on fire before he got hurt.

I agree with the above, Philly's most likely gonna lock up wildcard or division, so there is realistically only one spot out there, and GB would have to sh*t the bed from here on out.

that's a playoff generator and you can mess around with wins and losses.

it honestly doesn't seem too far fetched, our chances are definitely still there. I hate getting my hopes up, though. :[

It doesnt seem far fetched that we are going to win out against New England, Minny, NY and NO?

damn. thats actually not as bleak as i thought.

of course, we have to actually WIN some of these games coming up... but if we can beat the patriots, we can beat the vikings, the giants, and - maybe - the saints.

if we're 8-7 and still in the running by week 17, and we're playing an undefeated Saints team, it will be a HUGE game.

Not as bad as I orginally thought. The two obvious hurdles are us winning out and Green Bay losing several.

Question: Could we also beat Green Bay if they happen to lose only three times to Chicago, Seattle, Arizona. This way they have three more losses to NFC oppnonets. Or would they still have a better confrence record?

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
