Looking ahead to post season


Nate Dogg

Recommended Posts

I know I know it might be a little early for post season talk. But I needed some other opinions on the subject to help shape my outlook on the rest of the games this season.

 

New Orleans just lost their best CB for the season in what was already a questionable secondary. The way our offense played last night I can honestly see us picking them apart and sweeping the Saints. Even if we were to lose in the dome, a division championship is still possible with a split seeing as how they still have SEA on the schedule.

 

If we were to take the division, it's looking like our potential playoff matchups would be SF at home or NO for a 3rd time at home.

 

However, if we take a wild card spot our potential matchups are on the road at Dallas/Philly or at Detroit/Green Bay (barring Rodgers quick return) or possibly, but not likely, at Chicago.

 

 

I'm honestly leaning towards a WC being our best shot at a Super Bowl run...

 

What does everyone else think?

delete this thread now. if we lose next week you will be collectivly beaten down by every member of the huddle

 

don't be scared.  we started from the bottom, now we here. 

 

 

I'm done second guessing this team and our success.  Enjoy the moment. It's a great day to be a Panther!

all of those scenarios are scary as hell. actually i think san fran at home or dallas/philly on the road give us the best chance of a win.

 

knocking dallas out of the playoffs in front of the jerry jones bowl would instantly become one of my favorite panthers memories of all time.

I do not like the current playoff system. Teams should get in based on their records only. The six teams (in each conference) with the six best win vs. loss are the ones that should be playing in January. Period. The whole division winner thing is stupid. Just look at the NFC east this year. None of those teams deserve to be in the playoff hunt and yet one of those teams will HOST a playoff game. Total BS. The Panthers have the third best record in the league, yet are in fifth place in the NFC playoff picture.

He has a valid point, I was lookin at this today. Seattle and Philly in the playoffs scare me the most. I like our WC matchups better. I do not want to play the Saints or the Seahawks away

There's a reason why you can't make threads anymore.

    • Is it love when they say you reached for pick number 22 at 8? 
    • I wonder if the Steelers are setting themselves up for a tank year to get a QB? Trading talented head case Pickens, rumors that TJ Watt is on the trading block, that dumpster fire of a QB room, etc. It sure doesn't look like they're trying to win next year.
    • And this is how the proverbial ‘window’ is created. You go 2 CONSECUTIVE drafts where you have to hit on your first 2 picks, but you also strike gold on a few later round guys as well. Over the course of a couple years, you’ve loaded the team up with 5+ studs (on rookie contracts) who raise the level of play of everyone around them. If there is a franchise QB in place already, a legacy is now possible.  The TIMING of hitting on the right kind of talent is crucial. Hitting on a stud here and there every few years actually HURTS the team. Just by their high level of play, the team may win 2+ games they had no business winning, and really screw up draft position. Now the team is stuck in draft purgatory, constantly missing out on a top 5 pick.  This team is close to having the must have spots filled. QB (controversial), LT (controversial), WR, center (TBD), edge, DT and corner. These are the spots the real contenders are deep at.  Draft teachable, high motor, healthy 5 star performers from top 15 schools who show up to play every Saturday and play like they actually love the game. Just imagine the boost that hitting on 2 stud edge guys AND an LT over the course of 2 years.  Stop this dumbass wasted 2nd round pick from eastern Idaho state tweener project safety who had 1 good year after coming back from a season ending knee injury, but he impressed at the combine…. And this is exactly what this draft was.
