After a bit of analysis, and a bit of rum, it looks like the Panthers currently have the easiest second half strength of schedule in the NFL. 

 

If the dumpster fire can be put out, and they can pull off 5 of the final 8, they will end up at 8-7-1. That record got Green Bay into the playoffs last year. Philly away and New Orleans away are tough ones, but none of the other games can be ruled out.

 

Also, I've shown my work. See attached. The file is a little busy, I know. Just go by the color shading. Green=Easy, Red=Hard, season broken up into 4 quarters, with current number of wins by opponents. Enjoy.

 

Let the optimism and/or calling me an idiot begin!!

This week has to be the worst in terms of O-Line health so far. You do, however, make a valid point. Plus the Saints play all of their difficult remaining opponents at home. It's safe to say that no wild card team will come out of this division, so it's time to get it going.

If we lose tomorrow it is pretty much over. If this team can't beat the Saints at home with the Saints on an even shorter week... Then...... Welp

 

Pretty much sums it up. This game might also be the last straw for Ron and crew too if we lose.

I mean... I kinda agree I guess, but we would only be .5 games behind with our easiest schedule still ahead, so that might be over dramatic

I think that might be pushing it a little far. 2013 Coach of The Year won't be fired for what would likely be a 7-8-1 season plagued by injuries. If they lose all the remaining games....then you might have a point.

I don't think it is over-dramatic at all. We'll still need to play Philly, the Saints again (at the Dome), and one game in the Georgia Dome.

That's on top of the Browns, who are better than anticipated and run a 34 defense.

The Brows are better than expected, they also just got smoked by Jacksonville

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
