now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my playoff chances to keep. and if Cam dies before I wake, I pray the lord his cap space to take

12/9/2014 6:56:26 PM

I bet Ron Rivera is praying for Cam tonight.

what if DA becomes for the Panthers like Foles was for the Eagles with Vick going down.

12/9/2014 11:08:52 PM

better hope that Shula and Chip Kelly piss into the same fountain between now and Sunday

because that's the only way that would happen

Difference being that Vick was actually playing pretty well when he got hurt.

12/10/2014 12:04:31 AM

^ oh it's this troll again, did you happen to miss Sunday?

12/10/2014 12:43:52 AM

ummmm that was Geno Smith who played this Sunday you racist. Vick hasn't played in two weeks

12/10/2014 12:50:28 AM

I see jbrick is embracing his role of TWW's Gregg Doyel.

It's been a while, man. How've you been?

Doing well myself. Might head to Charleston soon. I'll be up in your wife like

12/10/2014 1:11:48 AM

my god i've missed you

12/10/2014 9:23:15 AM

Seriously what are the odds that out of all the people in Charlotte involved in this wreck, that 1 was the starting QB for the panthers? I know the intersection is the 4th most dangerous in the area and all, but still what a freak accident. Cam has had a rough year from Gettleman tearing apart the WR core, to the ankle issue, the OL being horrendous, the cracked ribs, and now the back injury.

At least he wasn't speeding at the time of the accident though.

Joe Person ?@josephperson 37s38 seconds ago
Cops say Cam Newton was traveling at posted speed limit of 35 mph at pt of impact. Other driver pulled out in front of him.

12/10/2014 10:58:50 AM

^^^ Great to have you back. I can't believe "studying" has kept you away from t-dub. Definitely thought you had to have knocked some scallywag up. When you coming to Charleston? Want the guest bedroom?

12/10/2014 11:02:40 AM

not all that surprising, but anderson has been named the starter this week

12/10/2014 2:08:32 PM

You know, it's a little thing, but it's somewhat encouraging that they did that as soon as they could. The will he/won't he play stuff with Cam and Hardy leading almost right up to kick off earlier in the season was a bad look for the whole organization. It's nice to know they can learn from their mistakes.

12/10/2014 3:13:57 PM

i like that end around to philly brown to start the game

12/14/2014 1:04:55 PM

Looks like Tampa didn't show up today. Glad to play a team of quitters when we need a win

12/14/2014 1:06:54 PM

[Edited on December 14, 2014 at 1:08 PM. Reason : LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER NOTE]

12/14/2014 1:08:47 PM

sucks to get down inside the red zone and not get a TD.

but an encouraging first drive with DA nonetheless

12/14/2014 1:15:45 PM

we have got to have the worst yardage to TD ratio ever (not sure if thats a stat or not)

it seems like the entire season we just settle for field goals...so frustrating

12/14/2014 1:54:38 PM

Steelers just went up 19-7 over the Falcons (pending XP/2PT) right before the half

12/14/2014 2:18:47 PM

gotta get a TD here

12/14/2014 2:47:38 PM

12/14/2014 2:47:51 PM

defense, especially charles johnson, looking really good these first two drives of the 2nd half

12/14/2014 2:54:06 PM

Things like that are so lame in football but it bails us out of a turnover I suppose

12/14/2014 3:34:44 PM

can't believe that incomplete pass was overturned to a fumble lol

12/14/2014 3:39:02 PM

another field goal...awesome

I just cant get that excited about watching a kicker score all our points

12/14/2014 3:43:30 PM

I can if it makes it a 2 possession game in the 4th

12/14/2014 3:44:45 PM

uh oh

12/14/2014 3:55:46 PM

wow

12/14/2014 3:56:44 PM

Here comes Shula

12/14/2014 3:59:05 PM

steelers took care of business vs atlanta.

now let's just not fuck up this last 2:30

unreal

12/14/2014 4:41:20 PM

wtf

12/14/2014 4:42:41 PM

found an (unlikely) scenario where we can lose to Atl in week 17 and still make it

week 14: Panthers beat Saints, Packers beat Falcons

Panthers 6-9-1, NO 6-10, Atl 6-10

12/14/2014 6:21:55 PM

i'm for the scenario that puts us in with the worst possible record...just for the laughs

12/14/2014 6:23:32 PM

People can bitch and moan about J.Stew's contract, and I get that, He's an old man, has been injured a lot recently, the Oline hasn't been doing shit for him, and it is an ass ton of money:

But then he strings together two games back to back like the last two (yes, I realize some of this is on the Oline starting to get better together) and its like "ok, I can live with this." I love watching this man run, its so tough, nearly always positive (even when first contact is in the backfield) and when he is healthy he just keeps chugging all game.

Probably one of my all time favorite Panthers of all time.

12/14/2014 6:34:49 PM

yeah i think most of the bitching about the contract is that he's just been hurt so often.

if he plays like this, you can't complain too much

12/14/2014 6:36:05 PM

That's kind of the point though, you don't give running backs big guaranteed money because of their shelf life. I got nothing against Stewart, he didn't give himself that terrible contract.

12/14/2014 7:03:31 PM

Now what is the scenario?

We gotta win out, but even then we don't control our own destiny.

I have a bad feeling about the final week of the season. GO BUCS! haha

thanks, Obama Chicago

Playoff Scenario:

Updated as of Week 15

week 12: Browns beat Falcons, Ravens beat Saints
week 13: Panthers beat Vikings, Cards beat Falcons, Steelers beat Saints
week 14: Panthers beat Saints, Packers beat Falcons
week 15: Panthers beat Bucs, Steelers beat Falcons, Bears beat Saints
week 16: Panthers beat Browns, Falcons beat Saints
week 17: Panthers beat Falcons, Saints beat Bucs

OR

week 16: Panthers beat Browns, Saints beat Falcons
week 17: Panthers beat Falcons, Bucs beat Saints

Panthers 7-8-1, NO 7-9, Atl 7-9

12/16/2014 7:40:47 AM

win out and have the saints drop 1

or i think if we go 1-1, losing to CLE and beating ATL, and NO loses out we'd be in too.

then we'd be 6-9-1
ATL 6-10
NO 6-10

[Edited on December 16, 2014 at 8:23 AM. Reason : check me on that]

12/16/2014 8:19:41 AM

So if the Saints win this week, we're eliminated even if we win out?

I can't see them losing to the horrible Buccs.

12/16/2014 9:00:59 AM

the Saints and Falcons control their own destiny. we do not. we need to win out and have the Saints lose once, or beat the Falcons and have the Saints lose out (unlikely). I haven't done any research on if NO and ATL tie since it's not gonna happen.

12/16/2014 9:12:42 AM

The car wreck costume guy above was on the WFNZ morning show today. Apparently he's a long time season ticket holder and wears a different costume every game (primarily to advertise his costume and novelty shop business). He said he was going for the mayhem theme from the Allstate commerials last week - when mayhem strikes you better call Derek Anderson - and didn't intend to insult Cam...

No we wouldn't be mathematically eliminated...but the Saints would have to lose to TB. Which, like you said, is not gonna happen.

Vegas odds are

NO 2/5
ATL 4/1
CAR 9/2

Kinda surprised to see ATL with better odds than Carolina, since it seems like they have the most unlikely path IMO.
