Mr. Scot

If it were up to me... Get revenge on New Orleans tomorrow... Sweep the Bucs... Beating Seattle would be nice too but I'm more interested in the NFC South centric games.

Currently open paths... The first two are definitely more preferable.

Frankly, I'd say every remaining game is a must-win.

What I like most right now is that at least for the moment, we control our own destiny.

Vegas odds aren't really based on objective analysis. It's driven by the betting lines and what will make money. But hey there's always memes...

There's more than one option...

Pessimism Isn't really all that difficult to understand. You don't want to be optimistic because you expect the team to fail and us to be disappointed. Truth be told, I'm not someone to coout chickens before they hatch. I prefer to be cautious. But I'm neither gonna say it can't happen or that it's a bad thing if it does.

Actually, I kid you not... On the somewhat less likely side... Mund you, I've been a Panther fan way too long to believe any path we do successfully navigate to the postseason is gonna be an easy one...if it happens at al. But hey, It is at least fun to have ssomething like this to track and discuss late in the season

For the stat folks (kinda)...

No Kamara... Per multiple sources though, the Panthers have a clean medical report for tomorrow.

I like to think I'm one of those guys who just is who he is whether people like me or hate me (Stone Cold archetype, if you will). Granted, I also like to think I'm handsome and charming, but hey...

I think the biggest reason why David Tepper gets a bad rap is because he does things to deserve it It's genuinely possible that he's learned though, and I'm willing to give him the benefit of a doubt that he is at least capable of doing so.

I'm honestly okay with that as a final outcome.

I remember it vividly. A twenty point loss after what had looked like a fairy tale start set a pretty predictable mood. Most of us went back to our default mode (gloom, despair and agony on me). Rest of the season ended up turning out okay, though

I find all the "what ifs" and "yeah buts" kind of amusing Back during the 1985 NFL season, there was one team in the league who figured out a way to beat the Chicago Bears... and they did so in convincing fashion. Ironically enough, it was the Miami Dolphins. When the Dolphins made the AFC Championship game, it set the stage for an epic rematch in the Super Bowl. The generationally dominant 85 Bears were going to have the chance to avenge their only loss and cement their legacy while the Dolphins could potentially gatekeep the mystique of their 72 team by keeping the Bears from winning the big one. Would have been amazing Unfortunately, Miami blew it in the AFC Championship and the season ended with the Bears destroying a badly overmatched New England Patriots team in what was not exactly a fun, competitive Super Bowl Similar thing happened in the NFL's 75th season, which could (and maybe should) have ended with a matchup between the 49ers and the Steelers. Both teams were 4-0 in Super bowls at that time And it could have been billed as a war to determine the ultimate Super Bowl champion of that time... ... except the Steelers didn't make it, so we wound up watching yet another uninteresting blowout with the 49ers stomping the San Diego Chargers. As a football fan, I'd absolutely love to have seen the games that could have been. But in hindsight, I kinda doubt the Bears and 49ers fans lose any sleep over the fact that their championship trophies were in part aided by other teams' stumbles. Hell, that sort of thing happens on an annual basis. So am I gonna be bothered if, in the end, a good finish to this season is owed in some part to someone else's ill-timed failures? Lemme think about it ... No.
