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.

      NFL top 10 Defenses

      By Basbear · Posted

      I believe Lloyd will elevate not just the whole unit, but also whoever his running mate is. Wallace is still very young, I think he's only 23 with two years of exp now. Cherelus can handle starting, he's just fighting with staying healthy. Kuwatch I think is going to be a contender after a couple week of understanding the system.  I mean Lee will be against..... what nearly 10 NFL-level WRs, he's going to get work and its up to him if he can hang.  I think its fair to expect 12th +/- 3 or 4 spots.  You know this, it boils down to how healthy everyone stays.....cause if dbrown, horn, Lloyd, Michael Jackson, or tervon miss extended time.....no way 10th can be reached. IF all the names above remain haethly, I do think 10th should be the goal. They are a young unit and added talent to a 16th ranked unit. Its time to march forward!!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Lee Hunter, Other End of The Call

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.
