You guys are morons if you get your hopes up for the #1 seed, likely will lose to Atlanta

It was a fun ride today watching the Cardinals beat the Seahawks, but there is NO chance in hell of the Seahawks dropping two in a row to end the season at home. The Seahawks have the loudest stadium in North America, there is no way a team led by Kellen Clemens beats the Seahawks.

 

But here's a bigger and more pressing issue: this is the definition of a trap game for the Panthers this week. We saw what happened after the 49ers and Patriots games on the road against the Dolphins. This whole fan base and this entire team treated today like the Super Bowl. They know the playoffs are coming. Meanwhile, the Georgia Dome has been the worst place in the NFL for us to play traditionally and stopping us from a 2 seed is the only thing the Falcons have left to play for. ALL this plus it's likely that 89 doesn't play.

 

In fact, I'm so convinced the Panthers won't win the #1 seed that I'll donate $100 to charity if they do. It would be a nice story, but I just don't see it happening.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
