Panthers still 35% to make the playoffs


Happy Panther

Higher than Tampa Bay and ATL. Seems off at first glance but there may be some logic to it. I have always enjoyed watching these stats. 

 

 

This is calculated by simulating out every remaining game as well as normalizing our previous games against the rest of the league. Best I can tell is that many of our remaining opponents are ranked very low in their software (NY, ARI, STL, OAK, SD, KC, MIA, NYJ, TB x2)

 

 

 

Football outsider has us with a "DAVE" of 9.6% which puts us as the 5th best team in that regard. The DAVE is some method of normalizing games on a play by play basis. Basically it says we actually did better than most of the league would have against the Bills. 

 

Maybe the computer hasn't met Rivera yet or maybe there is something to it.

Traditionally, teams that start the seasons 0-2 have just over a 10% chance of making the playoffs

 

just over 12% actually.

 

That is the point of this exercise. The 12%+ is merely a historical average but when you look at each team in isolation their chances should be different, perhaps much different, than the long term average.

 

If you are bored read this as to their methods. I find it fascinating.

I think it would be interesting to set up fantasy football like this where points aren't awarded based on straight yards, but situationally.

If you think about it, we almost beat a team that destroyed SF the next week and almost beat a team that almost be NE. And heck we are favored against NYG

 

So it makes sense that the simulation would view our average success on similar plays to the NFL as favorable so far in the year.

 

It doesn't have a coach factor though.

This is pretty interesting. I think we can still make the playoffs. It's not like we are getting bullied. We haven't been playing all that great but we could easily by 2-0 minus a few mistakes. I'm curious to see how we fare against the giants. I am going to go out on a limb and say we will end the season at 10-6. :)

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
