With everything that's gone on this season, Panthers still control their destiny?

Yep, you heard that right, panthers can still win the division, with a little help we could still win with another loss... That's how good of a position we're in.

And it's all because we tied with the Bengals.

We still have to play the Saint and Falcons in their houses, and the saints and falcons still have to go for round two themselves.

Now do I think we can pull this off and make the playoffs? Hell no. Honestly I doubt I'll watch another game for the rest of the year after what happened yesterday.

I guess you could say at this point I am finding humor in this disaster from the NFCS.

Yeah me and my boss were doing the math in our office a few minutes agoo

 

If we win out.. 8-7-1  and the best NO and ATL could do is 9-7 and 8-8 respectively... So winning out means we just need winner of the NO/ATL game to take another loss somewhere. and BAM NFCS Champs and Playoffs..

 

 

Now will that happen... nope. But those of us Dreamers like to dream.

We don't though

if we win out, Falcons and saints will have 1 more loss, + 1/2 credit for the tie means we will win the division because of that. If we win out, we win, with the plus 1 loss comes from the fact the Falcons are actually going into the meat of their schedule now... And the saints have the Ravens this week and the steelers next.

Everything is actually in our favor if we get our poo together after the bye

Why the fug would anyone want the Panthers do go to the playoffs? They'd get blown the fug out AND Rivera would be back.

I always feel I should root for my team to win but in looking at the bigger picture I feel there will be more wins in the future with less wins now.

If we win out and NO loses only to us and ATL loses to us and NO here is what I have for standings:

 

NO   9 7      0.563
CAR 8 7 1   0.531
ATL  8 8      0.500
 
 
However if NO and ATL both lose next week then we do control our own destiny...win out and it would be:
 
CAR 8 7 1 0.531
NO   8 8     0.500
ATL  7 9    0.438

Idc losing is more Beneficial at this point

I was for losing to get Cam/Luck and for losing to get Star even though we got him at 14 anyway. If your coach is a lame duck AND you're mathematically eliminated, then lose away. But the playoff experience is worth the 10 slots and GMan owns the draft.

And I am a broken record on this but the 7-9 Seahawks said their playoff win gave them the mojo to win it all a few years later.

Not to mention bragging rights, first time back to back winners, etc.

Losing is NOT more beneficial.

Anything can and often does happen. The Lions who we beat may be a top 2 seed and the Cardinals are decimated with injuries with a backup at QB. After beating the circus Cowboys here in the playoffs as we always do that may be the path. We may even get a rematch vs the 49ers HERE in the NFCCG!!! You never know.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of immature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.

      I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch

      What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
