Can we really beat seattle?

On an emotional level, I want a win. Logically I know we're far better off losing out and drafting #1. The game against Seattle will have one of 2 outcomes:

1.) We're blown out and the game is over by the 3rd quarter.

2.) We manage to keep the game close, and in the 4th quarter Jimmy has a chance to lead us down the field for a win.

Let's say scenario #2 happens. Jimmy has another opportunity to prove he can lead this team. He'll have to throw deep passes and make several big plays down the stretch. How confident are you that Jimmy will make the big plays we need to win? When Jimmy completes a long pass, it almost feels like a miracle. For him to string together several deep passes, and a touchdown pass (assuming we need 7) just seems unlikely to me. Goodson will have to have a MONSTER game, with lots of YAC to try and eke out a win.

Well, given the Panther luck, they will find a win perhaps here and Arizona and miss out on Luck.

Seattle has sucked last couple of weeks with injuries, so Panthers have a shot given the way Goodson is playing (Torry Holt called him a beast) despite the cross country travel.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
