REAL dream scenario:

Beat the Saints

Beat the Bucs with Baker Mayfield. He hurts his shoulder again last play of game.

Beat the Hawks with Sam Darnold.

Beat the Bucs with Teddy Bridgewater.

Get the #1 Seed (still technically possible)

Beat the Lions with Kyle Allen (Jared Goff injured during practice)

NFC Championship - Beat the Bears with Caleb Williams

Super Bowl - Beat the Texans with CJ Stroud

Bryce Young is the MVP and has exercised all of his demons and proved he is the true franchise.

 

I’ll have what he’s having…

Brother they rigged that game at home years ago in the 2014 playoffs. Now they just might call a fair game since they got scrutinized for the Monday night game but I doubt it. 
 

We’re gonna be battling the refs every game from here on out.  Seahawks or Bears are probably the least likely to be rigged in the playoffs though. 

You aren’t lying about the playoff game at home. But I also can’t fault the refs for the panthers getting stuffed on TWO goal line opportunities.

I forgot Tampa plays next Thursday. Puts them playing 3 divisional games in 14 days. With us coming off a late season bye.

If the Panthers sweep Tampa and make the playoffs, and at least one of those Tampa games Bryce is the reason the team wins, he’s earned his spot. I think we all know in the back of our minds he’s going to barf all over himself in at least one of the Tampa games, probably the first one removing all chances of making the playoffs, and then he throttles them in a meaningless last game.

I’m traveling home today and had some time. I  added a lot of data into ChatGPT including: average EPA (offense and defense), statistical averages, efficiency %s, strength of schedule, strength of victories, remaining schedule, etc. 

To summarize: On average teams following a bye week have a 5-10% increase for EPA per play. Teams with a post- Week 12 bye have a 10-15% increase of EPA per play on average. Teams with a late season bye week on average have a 15% greater chance of victory against opponents than they would have prior to their bye week. 
 

I asked to simulate the remaining games and this was the results:

Carolina 10-7

Bye

@ New Orleans (W 27-14)

Vs Tampa Bay (W 23-20)

Vs Seattle (L 31-17)

@ Tampa Bay (W 17-14)

 

Tampa 9-8

Vs New Orleans (W 27-17)

Vs Atlanta (L 27-21)

@ Carolina (L 23-20)

@ Miami (W 21-14)

Vs Carolina (L 17-14)

It references Carolina’s higher EPA per play following his the bye week, Tampa’s 3 consecutive divisional games, and apparent linear regression of EPA per play since season start as the reasons.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
