The Tank is on?

Over the past two weeks, we ReBryced and traded our Best WR for a handshake and a Wendy's coupon. With 9 games remaining, and one of those games vs. the Giants, getting rid of Johnson may benefit us NOT by getting a draft pick for next year related to his value, but by making losing more likely, thus improving our draft status overall. 

Unfortunately for you Tankers, there seems to be a logjam at the bottom of the NFL, with 10 teams with 2 or fewer wins.  Here is how it looks, only, in your mind put the bottom teams at the top of your standings.

With the Panthers' next two games against the Saints (they have a longer losing streak than we do at 6 games) and the lifeless Giants, the Panthers face the weakest teams left on their schedule.  After the Giants, the Panthers have Kansas City, Tampa Bay x 2, Dallas, Arizona, Atlanta--in no particular order.  While we do not yet know how well we will match up vs. TB, I do not see a win on this schedule after the Giants--I think we win 2 games this season--3 if we go on a win streak or stun someone.  Remember, the last game vs Atlanta could be a meaningless game heading into the playoffs for Atlanta--they could rest starters.

We could beat NYG and maybe Atlanta's reserves. 

So what about the rest of these teams?

POSSIBLE WINS

Miami: Raiders, Jets x 2, Patriots, Browns.  (Tua is back--win estimate:  6)

New Orleans:  Panthers, Raiders, Giants, Browns, Bucs  (win estimate:  5)

Las Vegas: Saints, Dolphins, Bengals, Jaguars (win estimate: 5)

Jacksonville: Titans x 2, Jets, Raiders, Colts (win estimate: 5)

New York Jets:   Colts, Dolphins x 2, Jaguars, Cardinals, Seahawks (win estimate: 5)

Cleveland:  Saints,  Dolphins,  Bengals  (win estimate:  4)

New England: Titans, Dolphins, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

New York Giants: Panthers, Saints, Colts  (win estimate: 3)

Tennessee:  Patriots, Jaguars x 2, Colts, Bengals (win estimate: 2)

Carolina:  Saints, Giants, Bucs x 2  (win estimate: 2)

Basically, what seems to be a 10-team hunt is probably closer to a four to five team hunt by the end of the season.  However if you look at the top 10 tank teams, I am confident the following will be in the market for a QB:  Panthers, Titans, Giants, Browns, Jets, and Raiders with Miami possible.

I see the tankathon as a 4-horse race--I want to win it because I want to trade out.  The QBs I like are going to be there later in round 1 that could change--

This team even sucked the joy out of tanking for me because you know they’re gonna draft the wrong guys

This. There's no light at the end of this franchise's tunnel. They'll pick first for the next three years and have nothing to show for it but an extra third-round pick courtesy of Negotiatin' Dan, and two guys on other teams' practice squads.

Agreed, people who think we are tanking are wrong.

We are just historically bad.  

Giants are averaging 16 points a game.  I get the game is in Germany adding some weird factors but if that game isnt at least close this season could get real weird.   Players saying nope, asst coaches getting canned, front office getting canned etc.   We literally cannot be the worst nfl team of all time in DC and dans first year.   Tepper would be fit to be tied.  And honestly I am kindof here for it

You think they are doing this on purpose? This team is 3 day old swamp ass. They couldn't win a game if the opponent spotted them 2 touchdowns.

Yep, Teams rarely tank intentionally. Also it is hard to tank in the NFL. Panthers are tanking because they are just bad. They are tanking by just existing.

    • I mean, the consensus narrative was that Bryce specifically was too physically limited to succeed.  But what you just described with a QB sucking, mood/body language being off, getting benched, then coming back and playing much better suggests the exact opposite...that his problem was mental.  Unless you think he just worked out a ton and ate his Wheaties during that 5-week benching.  I'm definitely encouraged but still nowhere near sold on Bryce, but I think he's proven that his arm is at least "good enough" which is such a timid position that y'all would regularly "LOLOLOL" at someone saying for the last year and a half. As Panthers fans, we should all be excited that our 1st overall QB seems to be trending upwards.  Instead, y'all are giddy and circle-jerking about Aidan O'Connell putting up more yards against the Chiefs than Bryce...as if that takes anything away from his actual performance, unless you're literally just comparing box scores which is the epitome of "casual fan" analysis.  You pride yourselves on being "realists", but refuse to acknowledge the reality of Bryce playing well lately, and instead do everything in your power to at least downplay or outright dismiss anything positive from him.  I respect someone like @*FreeFua* who was among Bryce's most vocal critics earlier this year, but isn't shy about giving Bryce his props lately.  The rest of you chirp chirp chirp in the gameday threads when Bryce makes a poor throw, but you've apparently lost your tongues after he throws a dime.  Maybe it's just that good that it rendered you speechless.
    • Remember when Jameis was gonna get lasik eye surgery and stop throwing interceptions?  Good times.
    • Just needs to get the ypa up and tds and yards in general but playing much better
