If we lose our next game

One more loss eliminates the Panthers from playoff contention, courtesy of Det and Chi holding the tiebreaker over us.

If we do get eliminated from the playoffs though, it will be by our own hand (losing a game or falling to the tiebreaker after the last regular season game)

Neither Det or Chi look good enough to me to give us a pure elimination-which would require them both to win two more games each this year-and I just don't see it happening. Chicago is terrible minus Cutler and Forte, and Detroit literally gets worse with every passing week.

yeah we need to win out and teams like the cowboys/giants, falcons, lions, bears need to lose out. not to mention other 4-8 teams having to lose one more time like the cards, seahawks, bucs, and eagles.

Cowboys will likely win the division, which makes them a non factor. Giants only have 6 wins and play a nasty schedule. The Lions OR Bears have to lose out, not both to truly eliminate us. If we win out like we are supposed to to have a shot, that eliminates Tampa and hurts Atlanta-whom we would hold the better divisional record over in the case of us tying them and splitting them head to head.

As for the other guys, Philly seems to be regressing while us, Ari, and Seattle (who has 5 wins btw) are on the upswing, would be dueling it out with each other.

our biggest enemy is really ourselves. If we do win out, we have a decent chance.

Just being optimistic. Being alive is nice, feels like we are outrunning the killer monster that has devoured all the teams below us and is on our heels-gotta keep running.

It's certainly better than last season.

      Why hasn't DC's suspected change on the RBs been highlighted here?

      Sounds like the pressure of all the fans wanting him fired might finally be getting to him... That, or Rico said "trade me now if you aren't going to make me the lead back"

      By TD alt · Posted

      I have been paying so little attention after losses (and wins, actually, because I'm mildly excited by them), that I missed Dave's seeming change of heart on Rico and Chuba.  Just when I criticized him for not being able to make the tough decisions and wanting to be Mr. Politically Correct nice guy, when asked about the timeshare between Chuba and Rico, he says:   "We cannot ignore the fact that Rico has been exceptional in a couple of games and in the opportunities he's had over the last two weeks. He's made some excellent plays, love the tempo and violence that he's running with. And these are all things we're talking about and working through this week as we look back on these last four games and really taking a snapshot of what's been successful for us. These are conversations that we do definitely have to have."   On basically whether or not it was his job to keep the RBs "happy," DC replied:   "Yeah, that's not the goal," he replied. "The goal is to make sure we put the right guys out there. That's my job. So I really do have to look at that and evaluate it and make the best decision for the Panthers, collectively. And for me, I have to make sure I keep it about the football."   So now all of a sudden, he knows his job. Well, some of you might say that he always knew his job. My response is that he surely wasn't putting it into action. You watch what people do, not what they say. And that even applies here. We'll actually see if his actions match the words of his newfound epiphany pertaining to our two top RBs., something that we saw a couple of weeks ago (or at least a week ago).    https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/10/27/panthers-week-8-dave-canales-rico-dowdle-chuba-hubbard/86923984007/

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      Just about everyone I have ever seen that was a first time HC, mostly successful coordinators, said there was stuff they couldn’t have imagined.  Canales only had one season as a coordinator. A steep learning curve should be expected. Help in the form of a mentor would have been a good idea.
