Playoffs Ain’t Over

i'm optimistic! with cam anything is possible

Glass half full, most of the league is wildly inconsistent this year. If you told me that in a few months the Panthers would be 10-7, I'd believe it. If you told me they would be 7-10, I'd believe it. This is a weird year and with the 17 game season, everything is wide open.

Bucs are world beaters until they run into the Saints and WFT.

Rams think they have the Greatest Show on Turf 2.5 and then get rocked by the 49ers.

Cowboys are on top of the world and then Teddy McMittens and the Broncos stomp them.

Packers lost to the Saints early, went on a run and then Vikings got em today. 

Cardinals were great, hit an injury patch and look pedestrian now. 

In the AFC the Titans and Bills were juggernauts until they got the brakes beat off them.

Long story short, call it parity or just crazy inconsistency but there are exactly 0 teams that look unbeatable and exactly 0 that are completely futile. Even the Lions fight like hell even if the results don't show it. It's just a weird year.

This thread is hilarious….this team is far from playoff potential.

It’s not Cam I’m worried about, it’s the fact that the Vikings, 49ers, and Eagles are all ahead of us with much easier schedules.

I have some optimism about our offense with Cam and CMC but any playoff team we face is going to give our defense fits just like WFT today. We will not defeat good teams with that effort.

[Move the Panthers to Raleigh]

We currently only have the ability to beat poo teams and can barely pull that off. The AZ game was an outlier. We struggle against mediocre and above teams. Playoffs are a hard sell for me right now

Fug thinking about the playoffs. A big part of why we're flailing is because this team is way too quick to start feeling themselves. We had Fitts and Rhule openly talking about playoffs at 3-0. We proceed to faceplant. We sign Cam and beat the hell out of a badly shorthanded Cardinals team and then we faceplant against a bad Washington team.

This team has to learn to just take things one game at a time.

This.  Our team played more like a Rivera team today than Rivera's team played like a Rivera team with the old trademark failing to show up when it matters.

I'm not thinking playoffs anymore.  We have lost to virtually every middling team playing for the last 2 wildcard spots, thus giving them the tiebreaker over us, so it's likely over.  

Furthermore, today was supposed to be a winnable game, and yet, we laid a big fat fuging egg, so there are no more such things as winnable games for us until after the fact.  This team is poorly coached and wins in spite of it, but are far more likely to lose because of it.

Our next two games are very winnable, personally I also think the Saints gave is very winnable for us as we’ll. I also think we could steal a game from the Bills due to our defense matching up well with speed. The Bucs are rough but taking 1 game out of the two is possible. Cam is back, the offense looked solid the defense will play better. Keep pounding!
 

 

Other ppl here won’t say it but it’s good to have some positivity and optimism on this board after a bad game.. All is not lost and reality is we’re still in year 2 of a total rebuild and most analysts didn’t have us in the playoff picture anyway…

I salute you sir..

He looked great today imagine when he actually gets time to learn the playbook/Panthers build a game plane around Cam.

I couldn’t agree more, this year there’s really no unbeatable team. It’s really all about matchups this year it’s really hard to know who’s really the best team.

today left me uninspired, lowering my expectations to nothing until the last game might be best for my mental health

Today was bittersweet, obviously we lost which sucks. But on the bright side Cam looked great and it was actually fun watching a good qb play on our team. He will only get better with time too to gain chemistry and learn the playbook further and allow the Panthers to game plan around Cam.

hope this poo team loses out so we are one step closer to a complete rebuild next season

Your clearly a very commited and loyal fan love the energy man! Really intelligent to rebuild when we’re in year two of a rebuild!

At this point making the playoffs probably sets the team back another two years 

Dude what? First off there is literally zero abs worth drafting(I wanna keep Cam anyway) and secondly we don’t even have half of our draft picks this draft winning really actually wouldn’t affect us very much at all. Keep kicking the can down the road and think you’ll win then doesn’t work, strive to win and build up your organization to develop players and sustain success.
