We have a 2 game lead in the Wildcard picture

[Mage]

With the Seahawks loss to the Rams, the Panthers now have a 2 game lead on the wildcard pack (Vikings are 5-3-1 but sit at the 6th seed while the Eagles could potentially move to 5-4 today but we hold the head-to-head over them which gives us that 2nd game).

We've got the Lions (3-6), Seahawks (4-5), Bucs (3-6), and Browns (3-6-1).  As a matter of fact the only team we play with a winning record from this point forward are the Saints.

Was just thinking this. I'm glad we have a buffer like this. I just wanna make it to the dance and have a shot

First of all, why do people always say this like someone on the Huddle is a player or coach of the Panthers?  Just because a fan thinks the schedule is easy doesn't mean the players aren't preparing.

Second, I never said the games were easy.  I was just posting a fact.

Yes I think it’s time to start realizing we’ll be playing on the road if we make the playoffs. Good news to hear

That’s pretty cool. I think we are still ranked third in the NFC if I recall correctly.

Better than not making it.  At this point I'm way more of a Panthers fan than I am an NFL fan, so if the Panthers aren't good I usually don't care about football.  Like I can barely recall much of what happened in the 2016 season other than 28-3.

I think we can beat the Redskins if we get another swing at them but i dont think we can beat the burrs lol

The worst case scenario would be having to play the eagles in philly again. And with Washington’s injuries that’s looking more and more likely by the minute

If we can find a way to avoid the Saints, I like our chances vs any other team in the NFC. The problem is I only think the Rams can beat the Saints and they might not have to play them until the NFCC game.

I have no doubt we make the playoffs despite Thursday’s shitshow. However, that game put serious doubt into my mind of whether we can win our division and whether we can get past the wildcard round. The team lost a bit of my trust and will have to earn it back in the following weeks, and then cement it in our last 3 divisional games. I still have hope for this season.

Just get in.  The 6 seed Falcons were almost in the SB again last year.

As long as the team doesn't poop the bed against the inferior teams coming up on the schedule, they will easily be in the playoffs.
