Official Panthers - Cardinals Gameday Thread

If all games are must-win, then does that mean our season is over? Our team should be VIEWING every game as a must-win, but if every game really is a must-win then the Playoffs would be full of 16-0 teams . That's my Captain Obvious statement of the day...but I don't understand when people say every game is a "must-win". Our team sure as hell needs that mentality though...

With that logic, this game isn't a must win either.

Well of course it's not a true must-win game since we could go 1-3 and win 12 straight and make the playoffs.  It's not MY logic...it's a fact.  I would say we definitely should win this game if we want a realistic chance at the playoffs...the Cardinals are one of the weaker teams we play on the schedule for the remainder of the season.

 

All I'm saying is to think every single game of the season is a "must-win" is extremely naive.  The fact that there have only been 3 or 4 undefeated teams in the regular season in NFL history proves that.  Every team loses games, it's just about winning enough of them to make it into the playoffs.

 

I think your statement must not have been intended literally, whereas I'm taking it as literal.  Otherwise I'm not sure I follow your logic that every game is a must-win.  There are only what...5 undefeated teams right now?  So at least 7 teams who already have 1 or more losses will be making the playoffs.  I feel stupid having to actually type this stuff out since it's common sense, but I'm trying to clear it up from my side.

    • I don't really care as much about athleticism and arm strength.  While Murray might be better in that regard, I think Bryce has enough of both to do well in the NFL. The main reason this trade reference is silly is the money and the fact that Murray has been around a long while and hasn't proven that he can perform consistently when the game is on the line.  Bryce has shown that he can play well in the clutch (in the few opportunities he has had).  
    • If Bryce can continue the level of play he showed after the benching, then there's a good shot we at least compete to win the division. Tampa is a solid team but even last year in our week division they went 10-7 and will be on their 4th OC in as many years. The Saints are a mess and are in a mist of a half rebuild half still trying to compete mode and will probably be starting a rookie QB. The Falcons are a wild card as they have a really good offense but are we really crowning Michael Penix as a franchise QB after just 3 games?  The only thing I want out of this season is for Bryce to come out and without a shadow of a doubt prove he's our franchise QB. If that happens then most of the fanbase would be happy and I believe we'd be in a good place record wise at the end of the season. Maybe falling just short of winning the division with a chance to sneak in as a wild card team.
