Path to the Playoffs

Somebody get the Jim Mora gif ready in 3….2…1….

For those of you who care, the path to the playoffs is really clear cut and Sundays game against the Rams nor Tampas games against the cupcakes they have remaining factor in really at all. 
 

In all likelihood the only way the Panthers are playing in the second week of January is if they win the division.  The loss to the niners did a lot of damage to any wildcard hopes they may have.

  The formula to win the division is pretty simple. After the bye week, if Carolina wins their final four games (at NO, vs Tampa, vs Seattle, and at Tampa) they are NFC South Champs. In that scenario, they finish 10-7 and the Bucs best possible finish would be 10-7 as well. The Panthers would win a tiebreaker with a 5-1 division record. 
 

Ironically, the late season bye comes at a perfect time. Get healthy and try and win four in a row. 
 

With Canales outsmarting himself at every turn and Bryce putting up QB numbers not seen since leather helmets were worn, the thought of winning four in a row seems almost impossible, but, we at least go into December in the hunt.

We are playing the 49ers wildcard weekend and we are going to run it down their throats.

 

Also the bucs are losing this weekend to the cardinals so we only have to and only will beat the saints and then bucs twice and finish 9-8

If Bakers hurt for an extended time that gives us some hope at winning out after the Rams. Its moot point though if Bryce doesn't start slinging it.

I really think we should just rest our starters for the Rams and Seahawks game. 0% chance we win either of them, so might as well rest up and try and be somewhat healthy for the Saints and 2 Bucs games

We will probably end up playing the Rams or Seahawks (whichever one doesn't win the division). AKA - it will be an ugly blowout loss if we miraculously made the playoffs.

Lol I dont even wanna imagine Canales's playcalling in the playoffs. 

Bryce "I have to better" Young throws for 79 yards and 3 ints on 50+ attempts. Chubba and Rico each combine for 3 carries after averaging 9 yards per. Endless possibilities.

But in all seriousness we have to win the division. To do that, Bryce needs to play in Atlanta every week.
