What's the scenario of us missing the playoffs ???

[E CaT PanTHer]

Can someone tell me what exactly has to happen for us to miss the playoffs. I know mathematically we're still not guaranteed a playoff spot, but realistically it's highly improbable. Does anyone know the scenario ???

We lose out, Dallas wins out, Tampa Bay wins out.

That's why I wanted the 'Boys to lose tonight. Considering how the NFC South teams are fiercely defending their home turf, I'd rather not have it come down to the final week of the season.

That would be beyond suck to be 11-5 & miss the playoffs!

It's kinda crazy how we haven't even clinched a playoff spot yet. But if we win just one more game, we are NFC South CHAMPS, we are the #1 seed, we get a 1st round bye, and we get homefield advantage throughout the playoffs. LOL

Crazy how it works.

[Sam Mills Fan]

Oh and I guess the Falcons would have to win out too.

If all four of these things happen we won't make the playoffs, otherwise we're in: Carolina loses out, Dallas wins out, Atlanta wins out, Tampa Bay wins out

That would be beyond suck to be 11-5 & miss the playoffs!

WE SHALL NOT LET IT HAPPEN!!! :willy_nilly:

I thought the TB game was big but talk about big games. This next game is huge and could be the deciding factor if we go to the SB or not. We need to be firing on all cylinders when we play the Giants cause they are not gonna go down easy.

I admit, that's a good one. I've been too lazy to look at the new emoticons.

The Saints may be licking their "our season is over" chops at the chance to play spoiler if we lose to NY. I don't like that. Haven't they bumped us out of the Playoffs before?

[The Answer]

Yep, IIRC they blocked a 60 yard fg from Kasay.

bad day.

[carpanfan96]

yea, crazy how we could still be out of the playoffs but at the same time we win next weekend and bam home field throughout. Ny game is huge. I'll say it's the biggest regular season game in panther history and will be the biggest regular season game this season. Also next week for home field throughout in the afc you have the titans and Steelers

The Bucs have a great chance of winning out but it will be hard for the Cowboys and Falcons, so I think we'll be safe even if we lose the final two.

The Cowboys have to face Baltimore and Philadelphia.

The Falcons play the Vikings in their next game. This is a bad match up for them because Minnesota has the number 1 ranked rush defense.
