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.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
