It's an Insider article, so here's the part that relevant to the Panthers:

NFC REMAINING TEAMS

Philadelphia Eagles (7-9, 25.1 percent)

Washington Redskins (5-11, 19.8)

Carolina Panthers (7-9, 11.7)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-10, 10.0)

Seattle Seahawks (6-10, 7.5)

Arizona Cardinals (4-12, 4.7)

St. Louis Rams (1-15, 2.1)

Minnesota Vikings (5-11, 0.8)

The thing to take away from this is that we have a higher chance of the playoffs and better predicted final record than the Bucs :)

We'll still be sitting at home. Pay attention to that part

I'm not sure how they came up with that one. We're not getting a wild card this year.

I'll wait until we're closer than 4 games away from the Saints counting the tie breaker, because the only way we're making the playoffs is by division champion route. Our conference record is mangled up beyond recognition and there's no salvation.

So if we win out for the rest of the season and finish 11-5 , what would happen then? I know this isn't going to happen, but I'm just curious what our playoff status would be if we went undefeated for the rest of the season.

We may or may not win the division depending on how the Saints/Falcons do but with an 11-5 record, we should definitely make it as a wild card team. But like you said its very unrealistic either way.

We get Minnesota (today), Tennessee and Indy. Tampa Bay twice, both winnable, and Atlanta here. Possible. In addition, we play Detroit the weekend before they play Green Bay 4 days later on Thanksgiving. Before us, they play Chicago. TRAP game if there ever was one. If New Orleans has clinched at season's end and we are playing scrubs, there could be an easy W there too. I am thinking Wild card, even though it could be easier to win the division.

Taking a look at the Wild Card, our primary competition is Atlanta, Philly, and Detroit. Forget the West. I do not see Dallas or Washington making a run. Philly is in a hole and Detroit has shown weakness of late, so we could shoot for Atlanta and hope for the best. If Ryan is banged up and continues to show the effects, it could happen. Long shot, but what worth having isn't?

If we win today then this thread will become very popular lol

I think we have a decent chance of getting to 4-5 by beating the Vikings, Titans, both very winnable games. If we can somehow manage to beat the lions and get to 5-5, that might really shake things up.

I would actually be very scared if that happened. Considering how dirty the Saints are, I can see Peyton instructing his back-ups to just cripple a couple of our players and make it easier for them if we face them in the playoffs. They would target either Smith or Cam or both.

      I'm All In On Drafting a QB in Round 1

      By 45catfan · Posted

      So we cut him if we don't give him the option?  I'm pretty sure there are players who didn't get the 5th-year option that played year four of their rookie contracts with their draft team.

      I didn't say do nothing if we don't draft one in the 1st and I"m not counting on a FA to magically become a franchise QB. But signing a FA to be our starter for the year and then re-address the next offseason would be FAR better than reaching on the wrong QB in the 1st this offseason. Feeling we HAVE to find our long term solution just because we need a new QB is how we got into this mess.  We thought Two Gloves would be at worst an average level QB for a few years, that didn't happen, so we went out and traded for Darnold.  That didn't work so we went out and traded for Baker, that didn't work so we went out and traded up to get Bryce. Our last 4 QB moves were all trying to force a solution, none of them worked out, and we're still trying to find Cam's replacement all these years later.  We'd just have been better off spending a year or two building up the rest of the team and going year to year on FA QB's while doing so.  I get it, it will be frustrating to deal with, but then when you find that actual long term solution, they plug right into an already built out roster and you're ready to contend immediately.

      Great win, should be 3-0 but I'll take 2-1. LaMelo is an MVP caliber player, period.   This is looking like an incredible draft so far. Sion James looking like the exact type of role player that all contending teams need to have, absolute steal in the 2nd. Kalk is a work in progress and I question how much upside he has but he's already been a considerable upgrade at C for us compared to the last several years (outside of healthy Mark which of course was rare).   Really seems like new ownership/front office has change the culture here significantly. Every guy looks bought in now.
