If Tampa Bay wins out...


Matt Foley

Recommended Posts

Tampa would win.

If they win out any loss would knock us behind them in tiebreakers.

If we lose to Denver, and win the other two, we lose the 3rd tiebreaker, common games.

If we lose to NYG, we lose the 4th tiebreaker, Conference opponents.

If we lose to NO, we lose the 2nd tiebreaker, Division record.

This basically happened because our non-division Conference loss (Min) hits us in both the common games and conference tiebreakers, theirs (Dal) only hurts them in the conference tiebreaker.

It is possible for us to end the season tied and win the tiebreakers, but that would require them losing at least one game and then would probably come down to strenght of victory (right now we have +4 points on the Bucs). But if they win out, we have to do the same to win the division.

That's why it's so important for the Falcons to beat the Bucs at home on Sunday. (They finish up with SD and OAK at home)

If ATL wins out (11-5), TB wins final two (11-5), Panthers could actually lose to DEN and NYG, then beat NO. At 11-5 they would still win the division, and still have the #2 seed (own tiebreaker over AZ head to head).

The key tends to be Atlanta beating Tampa this weekend and Dallas beating the Giants. If that happens and we can somehow beat Denver and upset New York. Even if we lose to NO in week 17, we still have the number 1 seed and homefield through out the playoffs. Not saying all of that is likely but it could happen.

If Dallas beats the Giants and the Panthers beat Denver I don't think it would be an upset when the Panthers beat the Giants.

The game this weekend will be interesting. Atlanta is the better team, but Tampa just got embarrassed by us... they will be looking to prove something.

It IS at Atl and as we all know, this WHOLE damn division is undefeated at home, which in itself to me is incredible. So if this remains throughout the season then TB will have AT LEAST 2 more wins and ATL will have 2 more wins.

I know EVERYONE'S chalking up a win for the Bucs against the Chargers.

But we all know the Chargers CAN win, they just haven't much. They can surprise people late in the year (crazy we're talking about the Chargers "surprising")

I wouldn't be SO sure that the Bucs will beat the Falcons or the Chargers

I've got that feeling too. It just feels like a late season chokejob from Chucky is coming.

    • Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes 
    • Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season 
    • Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
