Panthers should win Sunday

[Cyberjag]

Mr. Scot can take it from here, but Cincinnati has no shot at its next 2 games. If they lose to Cleveland and the Panthers win tomorrow, I would say Luck is lost.

Carolina has a real advantage in SOS calculations where the last three games are concerned. We can win, and at the end of the year Cincy should easily have the harder SOS based on opponent winning percentage.

Do the math.

Are we going into the game tomorrow with just 52 men on the roster? We still have 1 more slot to fill up and we still haven't.

I believe so...saw an article in the Observer today about that.

Fox indicated the Panthers would not fill the final spot on their 53-man roster -- vacant since three players were placed on injured reserve this week -- before Sunday's game.

"Did we (fill it)? No," Fox said. "Will we? It's day to day."

Fox said it's not a big deal. The Panthers would simply have one fewer player on the inactive list Sunday.

At this point, what can he say?

It really just means one less inactive player.

Of course we can win. I have believed we could win every game this season and that belief held until it was screamingly obvious we weren't going to.

Call me a mug. Call me a sucker but that's how i think.

I hope we win, and Cincy wins...we need Luck

I have tried to do the math and I get mixed returns. It is possible, I suppose. I look to 3 games that will seal the deal for the Panthers:

1. Cleveland at Cincinnati

2. Carolina at Arizona

3. New Orleans at Atlanta

If we win tomorrow and Cincinnati loses, it will be very close. However, if Atlanta beats New Orleans, it is likely they rest the troops vs. Carolina. That could give us 3 wins and then Denver and possibly Detroit and Buffalo could sneak in, leaving us at worst, #5.

If we win, Cincy wins, and Denver loses, then Luck is hardly ours. We could beat Atlanta in the finale (10 days rest vs. their second teams) and lose Luck if Denver loses out.

I love how the announcers used the injuries as a reason we are so bad..
