I could easily see a 10-6 team winning it all. Why not the Panthers?

 

Come championship time, the cream will likely rise from the top. Things aren't that wide open. The elite are the elite, still.

 

San Fran, Seattle, Denver, New Orleans, and to a degree I think New England, Indy, Cincinnati are close.

 

 

We could rise into that echelon below those teams. Equal with the Packers, or the Lions, or Dallas... could be decent but not a realistic threat really. We aren't knocking off any of those teams I named above in a legacy games that REALLY matters. Ron Rivera isn't beating Jim Harbaugh in a game Harbaugh has to have in january. I'm sorry but that's just where things are in the NFL. Real talk.

We take care of bidness at home. Steal a couple on the road. After this week we have 9ers, Fins, aints, and falcunts. With the birds being the last game of the season. We beat the Fins, and we go into the last game of the year in Atl. with a 10-5 record.

We very well could be locked into a Wild Card spot by then. So we sit our starters and lose the game. Now we are 10-6 instead of 11-5. The Rivera nonbelieverz will find a negative in that loss.

Or...we could go into Alt. needing to win. They may not want to give it to us. They may not be given that choice. We will end their miserable season with a humiliating beating.

Hate to call things this early. But...why not?

Of course this all nullifies with our next home loss. If however, this team continues to improve, especially the Offense, that just may not happen again this year.

The Cowgirls have not won a playoff game since we spanked them in 96. (?) We were their Cards.

We haven't played a meaningful Dec. game in years. We cannot say how "this team" will react in a game that far down the road.

IMO, this team is capable of being very good. When we limit the WTF? moments, like we have lately, we look damm good.

Our goal this year, and well, every year, is making the playoffs. When this team learns to win, and it appears we heading in that direction, on a yearly basis, then we can judge them. I believe we are on the verge on being elite. All it takes is to keep the wins coming.

Of course all this giddy talk of playoffs and being elite is contingent upon us continuing to win.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      I dont think people realize how hard it is to find a consistent starting QB in the NFL. Byrce will not heart us to a SB but I do think he can manage to get us one or close..go all in on defense and change the Offensive passing game and play calls. I really think our biggest problem is our HC.  Take New Orleans QB for example, switch him and Bryce and I promise you it'll look similar or worse. New Orleans OC is levels ahead of Canales. And as far as the draft goes, in this division with as much rb talent as we face ..the answer...this guy:    Pick up a couple edge rushers in FA along with a corner and plug this guy in Rozeboom's spot. Defense solved. But only if we get a top tier rusher on that dline....jus saying

      World cup ticket prices

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      I think I'm going to the game in Los Angeles vs Paraguay, and the England / Croatia game here in Dallas since my mom is British.  For decent seats anywhere in the building(s) it looks like it will be upwards of $7k for the two games.  Insane. Just for perspective, you could buy field level EPL tickets for any one of the top sides in the league, and it would be 10% of the price you'll pay for crappy seats at the World Cup.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      Meh… I knew this thread would turn into a Bryce/Tua comparison, when they couldn’t be further apart situations.   Dolphins catered there whole offense toward Tua, they brought in a coach that would run a Tua friendly offense, the went in got the best most explosive WR in the NFL and paired him the fastest WR in that years draft. Panthers have done the opposite, they went and got a Pete Carroll disciple who likes to run the ball under center, they drafted big slow WR who got little separation in college. Literally the polar opposite of Bryce’s scouting report coming out of Alabama.   Tua was a decent QB 2 years ago, but the concussions, lack of movement have caught up to him. He never had a great arm to begin with but now since he doesn’t want to get hit he’s taking the whole offense down with him.
