We could still lose the 2nd seed.

As I look at the standings right now. We still could lose the 2nd seed on Sunday. You ask me how is that possible.

Well say we lose to the Falcons, but the Saints lose to the Bucs as well. So we win the division and you think we have a bye week and 2nd seed right? Not so fast. Now to the 49ers and Seahawks. If the 49ers beat the Cards and then the Seahawks lose to the Rams. 49ers win their division and they get the 1 seed because we lost to the Falcons. With 49ers having a better record then us and so would the Seahawks. 49ers would have the 1st seed and Seahawks would have the 2nd seed. There by putting us in the 3rd seed with one home game  in the WC with no bye. Botttom line if we lose to the Falcons on Sunday, but still win the division title. We better hope the 49ers lose to the Cards for us to keep that 2nd seed and the bye.

You have to win your division in order to be anything other than a wildcard. It is impossible for Seattle and SF to be the top 2 seeds.

Edit: you guys are fast

Division winners are from 1-4. The records from those top 4 teams of those divisions are ranked from 1-4.

 

In short, we can only lose the number 2 seed to NO by losing and them winning

 

Hmmm.. Really!! Maybe I didn't take that into account. I thought the teams with the 2 highest records could get the bye weeks and home field. Didn't think about that. LOL

 I should of thought this through a little better. If a mod feels he/she needs to close this thread. I would understand it. :)

 

Shut up.  You did nothing wrong.  None of us know everything all of the time.

 

You are among friends and we do not accept your apology because it is not needed.

 

Pie just for shits and giggles, a Panther playoff berth and because it is the Christmas season.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
