With all the injuries going on the NFL is WIDE open.

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.

      No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad

      I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle.

      Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
