Panthers not mathematically eliminated yet

[Jeremy Igo]

Per the NFL Network, Panthers not out of it yet.

Not sure how. Maybe someone here can explain.

If the moon is in the summers house......and Jupiter aligns with Mars.........

LOL

[pstall]

Scientifically yes tho

[Jump Zone]

We are alive for the Wild Card until another team gets to 9 wins  (or Washington gets to 8 wins)or we lose another game.

but mines well said we were

Yeah, there are 6 teams that could finish 8-8. It would come down to 4 billion tiebreakers.

[CPantherKing]

They are out.

They needed Green Bay to lose to stay in WC contention, and they needed the Falcons, Saints, and Bucs to lose today to stay in division title contention.

Green Bay and the Vikings play next week. The Packers win and they have 9 wins. The Vikings win and they have 8 wins and tie breaker over. If it is a tie, the Packers finish with an above .500 record.

If the Packers or Vikings over take the Lions, the Lions finish with 9 wins at the worst.

The Panthers have no shot to be ranked higher than 7th in the NFC.

Even if the Redskins lose out and the Packers lose out, that still leaves the Vikings and Panthers tied at 8-8 for the WC spot. Vikings hold the tie-breaker. And that is assuming the Vikings lose to the Bears so they do not get to 9 wins.

Well, if 2+2=3, and if Shula's an actual competent OC, then well

You have to break ties in division before you go to tie breakers in conference. The Vikings would have the tie breaker over Packers and the Panthers would hold the tie breaker over the Bucs for their respective divisions.

In that above scenario, the only 8-8 teams remaining after division tie breakers are the Panthers and Vikings. Vikings hold that tie breaker.

Explain a bit more. So the Vikings have a tie breaker over us through the division?

The only 8-8 teams remaining after division tie breakers are the Panthers and Vikings. Vikings hold the tie breaker over the Panthers after the division tie breakers.

You know the Vikings and Panthers are not in the same division.
