I've said it over and over.  Tanking is a Fan term not a term players know or use.

We have the best defense in the NFCS.  If we can get some solid offensive play we can beat anyone.  

Wilks has this team believing they can compete.  Next week will show whether we are turning the corner or just pulled off an emotional win.

If we win at Atlanta this weekend, then go on the road to beat the Bengals we could be going into our one primetime game of the year with our new helmets and a chance to be at .500. It would be the first time we would have a homefield advantage this year.

Whoever wins this division is going to really fug themselves. The whole division is terrible and needs a QB. Someone is gonna cost themselves 10 spots of draft position just to get their asses kicked in the wildcard round and go down as the worst team to ever make the playoffs.

I hate feeling this way but I agree.   Making the playoffs because everybody else is asscheeks is just hurting us in the long term.

But beating Brady did feel nice.

Winning the division gets us an ass kicking in the playoffs, Wilks as coach,  ben mccado as OC, and a  shitty draft spot

 

But culture or something.  Beating Brady is fun but looking long term...........

You absolutely could be right.  But the other way to look at it is:

If we win the division, we suddenly become very appealing to a new coach and/or the next great QB dissatisfied with his current team.  Especially considering we basically have two sets of draft picks to work with.

This is certainly a glass-half-full/wishful thinking view when I'm not remotely convinced we can win the division yet.  But, at least for me, that'll give me the reason to root for our guys to win.

 

And to the OP, yes, it's shocking to be one game out of 1st in nfcs.  Even more shocking to add to it that we are one game out of draft pick #1 AT THE SAME TIME.  And undefeated in our division to boot.

Screwy times.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
