in 2005 the Pittsburgh Stellers were a 6th seed who went on to win the SuperBowl.so  no i don't understand what you mean by 2 to none 🤔. long shot yes but no absolutely not none 

&  it's most likely going to be the current 5th seed Houston Texans  or 6th seed LA Chargers on the road against the 4th seed  Pittsburgh Stellers

 

Yeah, wildcard teams out of strong divisions can make noise. Default winners of trash tier divisions almost never do.

The amount of people who think we are actually going to do anything if we make the playoffs is laughable. We are gonna get our asses kicked first game. Easy.

Even if our opponent lays an egg and we miraculously win a game an ass kicking is coming. We don't belong in the playoffs. Neither do the Bucs but one of us is gonna go anyway.

ok well then here is a more recent example .the 2011 SuperBowl Champion NY Giants were a #4 seed ( NFCE) & also had the same 9-7  record that the Pittsburgh Stellers currently have

just saying ...anything can happen in the playoffs

exiting in the first playoff round this season is still a better situation than what the majority of folks thought would happen this season.  Still a success vs expectations

so looking at ahead at the playoffs in this current era of NFL football 2026.right now there is no clear cut favorite that the experts say universally agree upon .no instead they all seem to agree that it consist of an equally strong group of contenders that all have very notable strengths & weaknesses.so with that said I believe it's  more about how these teams matchup than it is their overall record or what division they play in or what seed etc..

Acknowledging that we aren't a good team vs actively rooting for them to get destroyed and not make the playoffs are two entirely different things.

Yes, Panthers aren't good.  Yes, we likely won't go far in the playoffs.  But why would you rather see your favorite team not even have the opportunity?  Who is to say we have another chance at making the playoffs for the next 10 years?  Jets haven't made the playoffs since 2010! Think about that.  

All of you keep focusing on unknowns and whatnot.  Here is the biggest unknown: we don't know when we will have another chance.  It could be 2035.  It could be 2040.  Let that sink in for a moment.

Yet, instead of wanting to capitalize on the opportunity, you want to see the team get beat down.  And for what?  Because MAYBE we move on from Bryce Young?  And what will you do if that doesn't happen anyway?  What would we have gained from missing the playoffs then?

And look, I'm not trying to sound holier-than-thou.  Not trying to demean you as a fan or anything like that.  But just try to enjoy the moment because it could be a long time, as sad it sounds, before we are in this position again.  You just don't know.  And if you don't believe me, go find a Jets fan.  Go find a Browns fan.  Go find a Lions fan from the mid 90s-2010s.  Go find a Dolphins fan. 

I’m all for making the playoffs. Do we deserve it fug no! Playoff experience is really beneficial to the team, it’s a different feel and a different type of pressure that will benefit everyone on the team no matter what happens with Young next year. I do not want to see Young on the field next year but I think that decision has been made. I also think we’ll back are asses into the post season 8-9 with the help of the Falcons, that would be the only fitting way for us to end the season.

stop the nonsense

stop the embarrassment

go back to watching The View with your girlfriend's other boyfriend

This team has not sniffed the playoffs in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic display of professional football

Do I think this team if they get in the playoffs will win the Super Bowl, absolutely not

Would I be excited that this team made the playoffs, hell yea and deep down you'd give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to go watch the playoff game

 

We need to win the division to set the blocks for next year

We have an up and coming coach who needs a mentor in his corner

a STUD for a GM who is COOKING

a wrecking ball for a DT

a stud for a corner

a young buck for a DE who is just a rook

a true #1 WR

a solid OL

a QB who is progressing

 

It's not perfect, it's not beautiful but I am beyond elated with the direction this team is going

 

I will be in Tampa cheering on the boys to bring the division back to Charlotte and so should you!

 

And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post.... have a blessed day 

A QB who is progressing ???  Not sure I go along with that statement,

you still a fan of bryce?

I want Bryce to play his best. Hell, I want him to play more consistently. 

I don't agree with you and others that love to claim that he's surrounded by talent. He has the least talent to work with just in this division.  

As long as the Panthers are going to continue trotting him out, I'm going to cheer him on.  

Do I feel he is the answer?  How can anybody say they feel that way, although I also acknowledge the fact that he hasn't played behind the same 5 linemen at all this season.  The lack of a productive pass catcher to hold this receiving core togerher has also has had it's negative consequences. 

With all that being said, I want our Panthers to keep winning every game.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
