First place in Division pie

If I'm reading that right, they've got the tiebreaker now because of best record against common foes.  If it comes down to tiebreakers with them, I think our only shot would be head-to-head.  If we end up tied on that, I think it'll go to them.

So we still have to beat them twice regardless of today’s result

Reason I feel good about the Saints game:

They found the perfect plan against us.  It shouldn't have, but it seemed to catch us off guard.  So...

If they use that same plan, (1) we won't be caught off guard, plus (2) our receiver situation is much better than last time against them.  Tet was still slowed by injury and Coker was certainly not in a rhythm yet.  Those two things should at least keep us from looking as silly as we did last time.

 

If they change plans, they're going away from the perfect plan against us.  Minus the perfect plan, I think it comes down to simply who's the better team and the season says that would be us.

 

Also, I doubt Horn will have such a horrible day again and I doubt the refs will miss the obvious offensive PI against him again.  And, after that beat-down, I think our guys come out fired up.

Hopefully that will all equal a much better showing this time.

Also Chuba is playing better

Probably.  Unless they shock us again with another upset loss or two.

Before we played the Niners, I thought our best realistic hope was to enter our first game with them at 7-7 and them at 9-5.  That would've given us a shot at sweeping them and ending the year with both teams at either 9-8 or 10-7 and we'd have the H2H tie breaker.

Who knew we'd shock the Rams and they'd fall to the Saints.  At this moment in time, this is so much better than even what I thought was reasonable to hope for.

Falcons beat Bucs

We beat Saints

Would us winning week 16 CLINCH? 2 games up with 2 to go?

I've been saying the Bucs are not the team some have anointed them to be. They can be solid they can be really good at times due to some of the talent they have taking over games but on the whole compared to past iterations of division rivals they are certainly vulnerable and Baker despite all the hype still has those wtf games.

Man I really hope this team turns a corner from here and stomps a mud hole in the Saints in New Orleans. The stars are aligned. If there was ever a time to put up or shut up it's now.

We go 4-0 we will win division

We go 3-1 we probably win division 

We go 2-2 we could win division

We go 1-3 we probably don't win division 

We go 0-4 we don't win division

FUN FACT

Panthers don't lose another game for the 2025 season...

 

They're SB champs!

If this happened BY could be our QB for the next 10 years and I'd be okay with it

If we lose to the Saints twice, don’t deserve to win the division. Especially coming out of a bye. We better ready to kick some ass.

Yeah it should. Cuz even if we lose week 18 and end up with the same recordz that would put us at 4-2 in the division and the bucs would be 3-3

To my friends the Atlanta Falcons. Rest now, brothers. We have the watch. And I'll see you at Valhalla
