I'm glad I chose that game at the beginning of the season to go to. I hope that game still has significance by the time it gets here.

One of the last times we played Tampa in Carolina at Christmas time I was home and went to the game.  This was the game Cam had a 50+ yard run to glory.  One of the greatest highlights in Panther history.  Hopefully, we have another great moment or two this time.

They were the 1 seed when we beat them. 

Tied now, also either Seattle or LA will be the 5 so we will have an idea if its a game we can compete in.

That would be the incorrect one.

What's correct at this point isnt super relevant as they are both 9-3 one of them will be the 5 seed they also play each other. 

Honestly after watching several full Seattle games they are so conservative I think we will compete.

1st we MUST win against the Saints.  A loss and everything else is a mute point.

Week 16 is our season.  If we can beat the Bucs in Carolina we stand a chance regardless of week 17.

 

Factually incorrect, we can lose to the saints and if we run the table the last 3 we win the division

Factually of course but pretty much a done deal especially since some of the tiebreakers don't go our way.

Baker is soo rude and bitter I hope we beat them twice

Since 95% of the Panthers road to the playoffs go through Tampa *follow me on this* tie breaker #1 head to head....  stay with me here.....  we lose all the other tie breakers after that so losing to Seatle or NO without sweeping TB = no playoffs  they can afford to lose to one of the two...  because if they swept tampa and tampa wins their other 3 games we win via.... tie breaker #1.

 

Literally I've run all the scenarios and unless tampa loses to both atl and NO we have to sweep them.

that truly sucks

Yeah. I think it was the 2nd Bucs game in Darnold's last season here where if we won, we could take the division. It seems like they just threw it to Evans over and over and over and over, and we had no answer.

No way that's some loser mentality that has continued in this house for too long! "Fleeting satisfaction" 

Win every game you can. Even if we get blown out in playoffs get our young guys even hungrier then. Fug draft positioning when you want to develop a winning culture.

I'll take a playoff berth than getting our ass handed to us from divisional opponents going into 2026

I both did a bad job of explaining what I was trying to say and also being disingenuous. Truthfully I would love the Panthers to make the playoffs no matter how and no matter what ultimately happens in the playoffs. But I was trying to say, I'd like to see the Panthers make the playoffs because they put it all together, play great football and dominate the Bucs in a sweep, rather than get gifted the division because the Bucs completely implode and lose all their games. Cause in that situation, we just look like the beneficiary of a historically bad division and the outlook isn't quite as bright. But the last thing I want is the Panthers to just lose out and get a better draft pick.
