We only beat one team with a winning record this season

explain how we are worthy to be in the playoffs after only beating one team with a winning record and finishing with a losing record ourselves

 

Because we are division champions and we don't make the schedule. 

 

I could easily say that teams have better records because they play easier competition.

 

What is your point?  No one has a crystal ball and knows how teams are going to compete on any given Sunday.  Is it fair that teams must play while affected by injuries, or don't have their best players due to drugs, questionable behavior, stupidity or whatever?  The lines of competition must be drawn somewhere.

 

Are you suggesting that divisions and conferences don't matter and should be done away with altogether?  I don't think that would go over to well with fans, at all.

 

Are you suggesting that the NFL season should be expanded so that every team can play every other team, because in theory that's the fairest way to judge all the teams?  I don't think the players would go for this scenario either.

 

Every year teams with lesser records get in over some teams that have better records. That's just the nature of the beast. Like I said, no one has a crystal ball.  And there are too many other things to take into account---other than record---to justify tinkering with a system that has obviously worked for decades.

And homers around here think we are winning the superbowl. 

 

I seriously hope they are joking. No sane person can honestly think we are winning the superbowl this year. 

 

Would take a fugging miracle and complete turnaround from the product we put on the field all year. 

 

Who has said they think we are winning the Super Bowl?

 

Most have said something along the lines of "Anything can happen" and "Records don't matter anymore"

Exactly.  How many times in recent years has the best team during the regular season won the Super Bowl?  Lately, more often than not, it's been a team from the Wild Card round.  

 

That doesn't mean we're going to do it, but with our current defense and running game, we have a great chance to go on a roll in the playoffs.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By frankw · Posted

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.

      I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven

      Carolina’s interested in Kaprizov

      By PantherChris · Posted

      Given the fact he declined buku bucks over on the HOF hockey board most don't think they will even get svech..... (not even canes fans) The $$$$ tag plus lack of leverage for Minny could end up seeing him dealt for somthing around what we got for Ranttanen....
