If Yahoo! Picks pan out, we'll be sitting pretty

They have:

Cowboys over Giants

Bears over Saints

Falcons over Bucs

Bengals over Redskins (upset of the week)

Cardinals over Vikings

If all this plays out, it would make the Panthers vs Giants game larger than even now. A straight up battle for the #1 seed.

I love this time of year when we're doing well. :party:

Regardless of any other games, we control our own destiny. Win out and we take the number 1 seed

True enough sir.

But it feels real good to see someone in the media picking all the teams we want to lose to actually lose this weekend.

It would be a true gift grom the Football Gods. :D

Yeah everyone keeps talking about if the Giants lose to the cowboys. We play them, it doesn't matter if they lose. They could go 1-2 over the next 3 and we go 2-1 and we would still be number 2 seed if their one win comes against us. We need to go 3-0 to get that one seed. I personally want the Giants to win so our game means that much more and i want the Cowboys out of the playoff hunt.

I'm being positive and assuming we'll win out. That said as much as I hate the Cowgirls I'd prefer to see the Giants win that game. It won't have any affect on our chances for the #1...again assuming we win out. Plus if we win and the Cowgirls lose we officially clinch a playoff spot.

Not exactly going out on a limb:

Dal favored by 3

Chi favored by 3

Atl favored by 3

Arz favored by 3

Only picking Was (favored by 7) to lose in an upset.

Screw picks.

If we beat Denver and Dallas loses we are IN THE PLAYOFFS.

If we beat Denver and Atlanta loses we are IN THE PLAYOFFS.

I'm more interested in being IN than the damn seeding right now.

They have both the Cowboys and Falcons winning, which guarantees us nothing at all Playoff wise. Let's win our game first and foremost, but also have the Giants win. Then we can control our destiny when we meet them there. I do want Atlanta to win, though. All the more reason for us to pull for the NYG and that Dallas loss. We need Tampa as far away from taking the division as possible. I do not want to play them in Tampa in the Playoffs.

There's no scenario that makes the NO's game meaningless....we're playing for #1 seed...it will be meaningful regardless. :confused:

Exactly. We will be one game behind the Giants if we beat them and they win the last game. Starters will be in for both sides if home field is on the line in the last game.

    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.  Mock drafts 
    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
