I like Baker and not rooting for his injury, but if we can sneak 1 win against the Rams / 49ers / Seahawks then it’s a straight up dog fight for the division

I dislike Baker and am rooting for his injury.

Anything that helps us beat the Bucs.

how can you dislike a guy that played scout team DE for us..... the Panthers failed Baker, not the other way around

Here’s your sources of dogshit

 

2 we got rid of

1 will be a stain for a while

Baker failed in miserable organizations (Panthers / Browns) just like Darnold (Jets / Panthers)

I see it this way, we could beat the Saints on the road, Seattle at home.  Will probably lose to the Niners and Rams.

That means we are 8-7 excluding the Bucs games.  For us to win the division, we could hope to tie the Bucs and win the head-to-head. to do that, we have to sweep Tampa Bay and finish 10-7 (yes--the Saints loss is killer).

Here is why:

The Bucs, on the other hand, have an EASY schedule.  AT HOME:  Cardinals, Falcons, Saints, Panthers.  AWAY:  Panthers and Dolphins.  I see them winning at least 4 more games.  If they beat the Cards, the Falcons, the Saints, and the Dolphins, they have 10 wins.  Probably expected because no team has over 4 wins except the Panthers.

Even if Baker is out, I see them winning 4 down the stretch, making their overall record 10-7 if they lose both games to the Panthers.  If so, we go.

While it could happen; I sense the Panthers are starting to feel it, but I thought that before the home game vs. New Orleans, so we shall see.  I give the Panthers about a 10-20% chance of pulling it off

 

My biggest thing is that down the stretch we could be facing three different QBs that have revenge on their minds for us jettisoning us: Bridgewater, Mayfield (assuming they split the two due to Baker's injury) and Darnold. Add in that we have McCaffrey that we traded away for peanuts.

It's bad karma.

But we're also the black cats, so maybe that bad karma whips back around and works for us.

Oh, who the heck knows. We're competitive and there are opportunities ahead of us if we can make it through tonight.

I mean, when was the last time we were in first place in the NFCSouth past the second week?

Baker was dog poo. Darnold played better for us by far. Both needed to go elsewhere to up their game for the reasons you highlighted but Baker really was bad here. Darnold at least was passable.

We're going to get a nice old-school NFC South division winner at 8 games.

this the same shoulder baker had previously had surgery on
