I hope this is ok mods. There are alot of games today that have implications on the Panthers. The Panthers can avoid quite the log jam for the those two wild card spots with a win tomorrow night.

Baltimore vs Chicago: we need Baltimore to win. Chicago is 5-4 and fighting for one of those 2 wild card spots. Go Ravens! (I hate Flacco so much)

Washington vs Philidelphia: ill be rooting for Washington. Washington is 3-6 and Philly is 5-5. It may take a 10-6 record to get into the playoffs this year. So the more teams with 6 losses after this week the better.

Detroit vs Pittsburgh: when its NFC vs AFC you always root for AFC. With Cutler and Rodgers out, Detroit looks to be the favorite to win the North. However, you never know how it will play out and Detroit may end up battling it out with us for a wild card spot. Go Pittsburgh!

Arizona vs Jacksonville: Dont look now but, with a win the Cardinals would be 6-4 and have the tie breaker over us. The Cardinals still have games against the Seahawks, Niners and Colts remaining. They play the Niners and Colts at home and IMO there a pretty good home team. I'm hoping Jacksonville is on some sort of high from last week if that's possible and beat a traveling Cardinals team. Go Jags! With a win today Jacksonville would put themselves in good position to play Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

Green Bay vs New York: got to kick GB while they are down. Green Bay, like Chicago is 5-4 and fighting for a wild card spot right now. Carolina has the tie breaker over the Giants. Giants already have 6 losses so they aren't as big of a threat. Go Giants!

Niners vs Saints: What do you guys think? If the Niners win and Panthers lose tomorrow, the Niners go back to the fifth spot. It's likely Arizona beats Jacksonville today and would be at 6-4. Carolina could be on the outside looking in on Tuesday morning with a loss. I think a split with the Saints is realistic. The Saints still travel to Seattle. I know alot of you guys want to win the division, I'm just thinkin in terms of having a back up plan (wild card). Anyway let me know what you think about this one! I expect alot of fug the saints replies.

If NO loses and we win, does that put us in 1st place due to our having beaten SF?

I believe NO would still technically be in first due to having a better conference record than us. Both there losses have come to AFC teams (Jets, Pats). We have 2 losses to NFC teams (Cards, Seahawks).

Yep.

But just to repeat, record against common opponents is the tiebreaker considered before conference record. If we win and Saints lose, that record would be tied at 2-2 apiece, with the Saints having a chance to go up by beating the Seahawks while we have a chance to go up by beating the Jets. We'd also have to beat the Dolphins, Saints would have to beat the Rams.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
