Our remaining schedule

I see 3 realistic shots at wins left on our schedule.  That would put them at 8 wins which is where I thought they would be when it's all said and done.  Never considered them a playoff team from the start and Cam won't change that.  Even as good as he's playing right now it will only keep us from getting blown out. You cannot expect him to carry this team.

Need to at least spit with TB and have a couple "upsets" too. Too late to start the season over and get that 7-1 start..... 

Panthers need all the other wild card to either beat each other or out right lose. 

Washington in beating TB and Carolina looking down right scary if they make it in as well.

We are 5-6, we realistically need to be 9-8 to have a shot at a wildcard. Do you think with out remaining schedule we can do it? We would have to sweep NO and beat the Bucs at least one.

I think with the explosiveness we saw from Cam, and gettting healthier, we can make a push. I have a very hard time believing we will go into Buffalo and win, or sweep TB, but the others look largely winnable. All comes down to this teams perseverance, and coaching (unfortunately). 

If this is truly a playoff worthy team they will find a way to get to 9-8. Also, no one is "unbeatable" this year. Each week a "top" team loses some game they already penciled in as a W (see Titans this week).

However, as others have said there are likely going to be teams like the Eagles and Vikings also at 9-8.

The path is still there but it is extremely narrow now that Minnesota, San Fran, and Philly have all caught on as of late. 
 

I think the Saints continue to fade, but I’m not sure we can overtake those other three unless we go 6-0 or 6-1. 
 

I don’t think 4-2 gets it done.

The whole notion that there are games you can pencil in as wins and losses this year is completely out the window. We could sweep Tampa and beat Buffalo and get blown out by Miami. This NFL season has been completely unpredictable leaguewide. The Titans have beaten the Rams, Bills and Chiefs but lost to the Jets and Texans. The Bills lost to the Jags and got smoked by the Colts last week. The same Colt McCoy led Arizona team that got pummeled by the Panthers is undefeated otherwise, with convincing wins against the Seahawks and a surging 49ers team who have outscored their opponents 94-42 in their last 3 non-Cardinals games. The list goes on and on. Let's stop worrying about who is on our schedule and who we "should" or "shouldn't" beat and focus on just playing good smart football on offense, defense and special teams. Cause when we're clicking, there's not a team in the NFL that scares me. When we're not, we get blown out by the Giants.

TB's offensive line does not bode well for our defensive line (Given what DAL and WAS were able to do).  I can actually see a Buffalo upset but we're probs looking at 7-10 or 8-9.

Which is strangely in line with many predictions from early in the season.  But I don't think we expected to get teased at how good we could be or how shoddy coaching would be.

With how much better the offense looked I'd say we have a good shot if our defense can recover from what ever the poo on Sunday was. Also for a side note we need to throw out the all black jersey combo. They look awesome but  they are bad luck. Every time we wear them things go wrong.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
