Eh, if that happens I'm not too worried.

Now, if it does happen, and the Giants and Bears win out, and the NFC West turns into a wrecking crew while the Patriots implode and drop their last three along with the Chargers and Colts, well then I'm worried.

But for what's likely to happen, I'm not. The Panthers will win, the Bengals will lose, and at the end of the season their opponents will have around 152-156 combined wins while the Panthers' will have between 148 and 152.

So, the Panther higher limit will be where the Bengals lower limit is. Assuming they're tied, then the NFL will go to the divisional tie breaker methods to see if any is applicable. Since they played, the very first divisional tie breaker method, head to head, will be used. And the Bengals beat us.

And yes, I know they're not in the same division. But the rules say methods, meaning that they'll proceed down that path after the Strength of Schedule is worked out.

No worries, unless we win two of our last three.

Edit: I'll add that if you don't buy the head to head thing, all of the other tiebreakers that may be applicable are about points scored and points allowed. Given our 12.6 points per game average, something fairly drastic would have to happen to lose that one.

Another way to read this is by division record, which may be the correct manner. In that case, Cincy is 1-5 in the AFC North, while the Panthers will be 0-6 in the South.

Advantage: Carolina.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By CRA · Posted

      It’s going to get wild after this Sunday.  I would assume Dave has a really smart plan.   Sorta like the AZ plan last year.    After a big turnover heavy  bad game Bryce normally reels it in.  Bryce will have one of his standard 60% for 200 days and the Bryce defenders will use that as a “ I told you he is good” games.

      Bryce is a really smart kid and I'm sure he knows all the answers to the test but he hasn't been able to overcome his lack of physical tools and other DC's know this and play him accordingly. I think Bryce has good processing but when the correct read is the WR 30 to 40 yards down field and you have a defensive lineman coming at you what can he really do? He just doesn't have the arm to effectively and consistently hurt the defense and I think that's what's gonna do him in.  Pime example look at the INT versus Dallas last year when Thelien was wide open down the seam and Bryce threw it from a clean pocket and the ball was way short. Dc's watched that and knew that Bryce can't throw the ball deep.

      I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.
