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.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
