Playoffs?!?!

[Gallagher2x2]

OK, crazy idea but let me lay out a scenario for the panthers nabbing a wild card spot. Here it goes.

4-6 Panthers: @NYJ W, TB W, @NE W, MIN W, @NYG W, NO W. 10-6

6-4 Packers @ DET W, BAL L, @CHI W, PIT L, @ SEA W, @ARI W. 10-6

6-4 Giants: @DEN L, DAL L, PHI W, @ WAS W, CAR L, @MIN W. 9-7

5-5 Falcons TB W, PHI L, NO L, @NYJ W, BUF W, @TB W. 9-7

5-5 Eagles (Assuming Chicago wins tonight) WAS W, @ ATL W, @NYG L, SF W, DEN L, @ DAL L. 9-7

5-5 Bears @MIN L, STl W, GB L, @ BAL L, MIN W, @ DET W. 8-8

The panthers winning out does not seem probable but the way i figure it the Vikings and the Saints will have clinched their respective divisions by the time we play them. Expect Favre to sit after week 14. The saints will have nothing to play for week 17. Smash and Dash will tear apart the jets' run defense next week. Tampa Bay is a gimme win. That leaves the pats and the giants. I expect us to beat the patriots out of sheer hatred. We'll beat the giants in a similar fashion to get revenge for loss they gave us late last season.

Hoping for this to happen is probably foolish but panthers fans have to optimistic, right?

Those are just stupid scenarios at this point. Heck, I don't even think that the Bucs have been officially eliminated from the playoffs yet, doesn't mean they have a chance of making it.

If the Packers had lost today, I would have entertained the possibility since we'd just be one out again. But there are just simply too many teams standing in our way for the wild cards and too many great teams we still have to play. It ain't happening.

Not in a million years will we go 6-0 to finish the season. Work on some scenarios where we get to 9-7 and can sneak in, and then we can talk.

[Phil Dees]

We currently stand 11th out of 16.

Perhaps, but this team has shown that it can run the ball effectively and still not win the game.

Tampa Bay is a gimme win.

There are no "gimme wins" in this league. Didn't you see the Bills game?

I expect us to beat the patriots out of sheer hatred

If you could beat the Patriots with just sheer hatred, don't you think more teams in the league would do so?

Like Kevin Garnett, anything is possible - but if the Panthers have to win out to grab a playoff spot, it just ain't happening. And that's coming from someone who still hasn't counted the Panthers out.

Stop it.

[Carolina Crazy V2]

Plus, the Giants are slipping.

Could analysis. Rare to see optimism around here lately.

[pantherpain]

Stop it.

Dam I hope not! $500 for playoff tickets to watch these guys lose. No thanks!

Instead of doing all of this....what if we put Laser's on the head's of sharks and took over the world? Hmmmmmm.

After I get back from the moon, where I'll be planting coconut and banana trees.....I'll entertain this idea.

I'll entertain this idea when I get back from the moon planting more banana and coconut trees.

You better put some fuging persimmon trees up there! I'm tired of going all the way to the damn moon and not having a single fuging persimmon.

[SMACKDAB]

You better put some f**king persimmon trees up there! I'm tired of going all the way to the damn moon and not having a single f**king persimmon.

Know what you mean. That will DEFINITELY increase the deer population.

MMMMMMMMMMM....Moon Deer are the best!!
