I don't think there is a "probably." The NFC South is about a 99.9% likelihood of being a 1 team playoff division.

Not statistically, logically. 

Remember when the NFC South was the toughest division (circa 2002-2006 when every NFC Championship game featured one of the four of us?)

I know. It's been a wild downfall.

Yea. Which means our odds are largely tied to being in 1st in the division.  I’d expect big swings based on the standings.

100%. It's really on what the Bucs do. We are probably gonna get the poo kicked out of us for the rest of the season(for the most part, I expect 1-2 more wins) and they have a significantly easier schedule. We are probably going to have to rely on them to fall apart. They haven't really looked particularly strong, TBH.

Barring some sort of collapse, it seems there will be at least 2 coming out of the North and at least 2 from the West. East will have 1. That's 5 of the 7 spots, 6 when the South winner is included. 

There is something to say for the final stretch of games, minus the Saints, are a gauntlet of playoff teams or playoff-caliber teams. If the Panthers get in, they will have proven on the field that they belong. If not, it will be the famous missed opportunities of Jacksonville, Arizona and New Orleans games.

Not sure you can call JAX (and even AZ) missed opportunities. JAX has a good chance of making the playoffs and AZ isn't as bad as their record shows

They are missed opportunities in that both were games that had a good chance for victory. Jacksonville does have a good chance at a playoff spot and would be in if the season ended today. 

Enough fans were buying into the nonsense of making the Superbowl because we began with Jacksonville.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      So to suggest that our offensive weapons might not be as horrible as being claimed if we were to have Josh Allen throwing to them instead of Bryce is a stretch? Maybe they would be better, maybe not. But I'm not going to keep saying we need more weapons and more this and more that with a QB that struggles to get 200 yards passing in a game.  You're right, our receiving corp was ranked in the bottom 3rd of the league. Who was throwing to them? A bottom 3rd QB.  If the team wants to get better it has to be serious about the QB position. We aren't and no amount of adding weapons is going to solve the fact Bryce is a bottom tier QB or that the most serious camp competition he has ever faced was Andy Dalton.  If Carolina fans were watching any other franchise entrench themselves so vehemently around this level of QB production, we'd be laughing like he'll and waiting for our chance to play them twice a year.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I’ll also say agin, this is why I think we’re in a great spot this year to trade down, and maybe meeting with all these WRs is a smokescreen to try and make a WR needy team over trade to get our pick so we don’t take the guy they want. While at the same time, if Downs falls outside the Top 10, I’d be comfortable with darn near any trade involving our 2027 1st, to move up and get him.  He’s going to be one of th best Safeties in the game for years to come.
