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.

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
