Many of you might not think we got it, but there is an outside chance that we can make the playoffs. This does involve us winning out, but i like our chances now as compared to a month ago. We play everyone in the division again and Houston. Tampa is done, Atlanta is playing like crap, New Orleans might not need a win when we play them, and Houston is playing with a backup QB. Another note to add to this is that Chicago and Detroit are done. Detroit's collapse is typical failure stench coming from that town, and Chicago doesn't want to make the playoffs b/c they're not attempting to get a QB. Dallas nor the Giants don't want to win the East so they're losing as much as possible. I think at 8-8 we can sneak in.

Turnover plus bad defense is how we lose.

Like TRD said we need to prove ourselves against a good qb and a good defense before we start saying playoffs.

I can't believe I just said like TRD said.

I think that comes at home this week against Atlanta, who is slipping. We never play well in the Dome, but we even hanged last year at home I think? Correct me if i'm wrong.

no chance we make the playoffs but given our schedule a 4 game win streak is definitely doable

Falcons @ home - this game could go either way, but I could see a win

@ Texans - they're starting TJ Yates and just lost Andre Johnson for (likely) a couple weeks. winnable game.

Buccaneers @ home - they're a bad team, easiest game left on the schedule

@ Saints - if they are playing for the #2 seed I count this as a loss. If they're resting starters yeah it's a win, but the 49ers only face one team above .500 down the stretch so it'll likely come down to the last game for the #2 seed.

sadly I can also see us losing out with how inconsistent this team is.

      Be careful what you wish for

      You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again.

      Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.

      On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
