HOW PANTHERS PLAYOFF HOPES STACKUP AS OF TODAY

HEY FC....

You may not believe this, but ....... Your scenario as you described it up there ^^^ is about to come true.!!

1) The Panthers lost to Seattle
2) The Bucs lost to the Dolphins !!! (Really.?? - ???)
3) The Falcons beat the Rams !!!  (WTH is going on.??)  

SO...

All that is left is for the Falcons to beat the Saints this week.

If that should happen, and the Panthers should lose to the Bucs ---- there would be a 3-way tie for the Division at 8-9..... And that weird tie-breaker scenario would come into play. OTOH - If the Panthers should win against the Bucs, it won't matter. The Panthers would take the Division. But if the Panthers lose ..... a 3-way tie ???

I haven't looked up the actual numbers for the tie-breaker scenario, but I assume "others" have or that scenario would not have been published. 
So ......

I guess we'll wait and see.
