I really really really don't want to go to Lambeau again.

Wait, so we pretty much have to win out to be the 2nd seed?

Isn't their a tiebreaker we can win over Tampa?

Ugh the NFL needs to change the seeding.

[panther4life]

its very very concievable that us, tampa and atlanta could be in there

That thing doesnt really make any sense, because it has both us and Tampa going 12-4, with Tampa winning the division. Also it has NY going 15-1. So that would mean that our only loss for the rest of the season would be tomorrow at Tampa, and that we would have to beat the Giants.....but that thing has them going 15-1, so thats not possible....

When I clicked it had us winning Monday, and losing to the Giants. So I guess it takes a minute to update.

Are you clicking and picking your own winners week by week and generating your own scenario?

I was just going off of what came up when I clicked the link...

So basically, based on the most likely scenario, the Panthers would have to win out in order to get a first round bye, beating at least the Bucs and NYG. And it looks like we are not going to be able to rest the starters at all because things won't really shake out until we finish at NO. NO and Atl play today and Atl/ TBay next week. Atlanta is likely to lose at least 1 of those. 10 wins for the Saints will not win this division or likely result in a playoff berth, so they are likely out...they will be looking to spoil our chances.

It's looking more and more like that game at NYG is going to be very meaningful, and if the Giants falter between now and then, it could still be up for #1 seed.

But it looks like 2 more wins (11-5 record) would almost certainly land us in the playoffs somewhere. Dallas and Wash are on the outside looking in in this scenario and Atlanta has the inside track on a wild card berth. It is inportant that those wins come vs NFC teams because we really need to have a good winning percentage in the conference. Tampa always seems to play better against the rest of the NFC than we do. So...the only loss we can shoulder and still stay on track is the Broncos game.
