sbnation - 3 reasons the panthers will make playoffs

1) Agree

2), 3) The reason we play better at the end of the season is that we play against teams that aren't good. One quality win from the past two years at the second half of the season against the Falcons. It's a different story this time and our schedule is way more back-loaded and every team we will face will be better than the ones we have beaten (except the bucs and falconsx2).

This mindset will be changed when Kansas City goes into Buffalo this week and loses.

 

Buffalo is not a bad team.  I didn't say that.  But they are not a good team.  Buffalo is a 6-10 team that has potential to be good.  They are the 2011 Panthers.  Losing to Buffalo versus losing to Seattle, home or away, are two VERY different scenarios.

You know exactly who they are referring to.  Until Manuel went down, Buffalo was on the rise.  I assume that when he comes back they will pick up where they left off.

 

Not just Manuel, but Spiller has been injured lately, too.

 

Bills are better than their record, too.

Over the Pats? Maybe they could, but that wouldn't be a sure thing by any means.

 

It wouldn't be a sure thing. But definitely a high possibility. Buffalo's front 7 is playing at a very high level and Tom Brady is having the worst season of his career.

Bufflalo was pretty decent when we played them. You have to realize that they are without their starting QB now but had him when they played us. Our record should be better by the last waning minutes we let it slip away

 

Spiller also.  Game still ticks me off but what's done is done.

Agreed. I think Buffalo could have given NE a run for their money if Manuel had stayed healthy. I was probably nitpicking what you initially said.

    • I think where they would be picked if redrafted before both classes have played enough football to really tell.  Baker literally looked like a washout with us after Cleveland gave up on him, then turned world beater with the Rams, got a prove it deal with the Bucs and has looked awesome ever since. Asking where Ward would’ve went had he went in ‘24 is just stupid.  I’m no GM, but I wouldn’t have taken Williams #1 either.  I would’ve taken Joe Milton way higher than he went.  I think Shadeur should’ve been a first round pick this year.  Point being, opinions are like buttholes, everybody has one.  It’s my opinion that Ward has that “something special.”  I get that feeling that he’ll be an even better pro than he was a collegiate QB because of whatever that quality is.  I think he’s gonna surprise a lot of people, especially being such an under appreciated first overall pick.
    • Where do we get our T-shirts and hats? Pretty sure this is the first championship ever in professional basketball or football in Charlotte!
    • Nice turnaround for Kon.  I’m still a little worried about his ability to create for himself and others, but it was SL.  Come regular season, he will playing a much different role and shots will be there for him.  He showed some reason for hope - and not just him, but the whole squad.  I suppose for the first time ever, we have drafted and acquired enough young talent that we actually not only competed for once, but won the whole thing in summer league.     Kon, Simpson, and Sims made all the difference.  Almost every year prior I felt we always struggled because we usually didn’t have a floor general/real PG to get us into offense.  This was such a breath of fresh air.  And look at us!  We finally are champions!😂
