They don't....I checked. Lot's of scenarios where the Panthers win out and don't make the playoffs unfortunately.

I checked too. 

 

Seattle plays Minnesota so if we win out that game alone gets us in

Washington winning out knocks us into a tie breaker with Dallas which we own 

Seattle and Washington winning out too won’t matter as long we win out too

So you’re sayin there’s a chance

Seattle isn't in the playoffs, dude. Right now, they're number seven in the NFC.

Pulling ahead of them doesn't put us in the playoffs.

Yea but what I’m saying is that if we win out we’re still in because the teams ahead us play each other and a loss by either of them in said game bumps us up

1 out of the last 5 you mean.

If Dallas, Seattle, and Washington all win out, the Panthers don't make the playoffs. Dallas would win the NFC East, Washington and Seattle would have the tiebreakers over Carolina. Since there is currently a scenario where the Panthers win out and don't make the playoffs, they do not control their own destiny.

A small one, but yes 

 

Carolina has to play lights out all of December. We’re not playing bad, just stupid

I'm not sure we can beat the bucs or the browns on the road. We have talent but the coaches are killing us. If Tepper doesn't make a change this offseason, I will begin to wonder how much he really values winning

That’s the only scenario I didn’t run because I never thought of Dallas AND Washington winning out and Dallas winning the division and Washington getting the wild card berth. Good looking out

The "win out" crowd:

Is there really a sense of confidence that you beat the Saints twice? I completely understand expecting a split. It's what I'm expecting, and hoping for a sweep. But when you realistically look at your playoff chances, are you marking down two wins against the Saints with any kind of confidence?
