13-3= wildcard

TheOak · 12-10-2010, 08:02 AM

I would not count on Carolina. They have nothing to gain by beating Atlanta. They actually have something to loose by beating Atl...

First Round Draft Pick. If they beat ATL once and go 2-14 they go into a 3 way tie for FRDP.

There's not a player or coach in the league that gives a flying rat's kahooty about a draft pick. When they step foot on that field it will be with every intention of doing whatever it takes to win.

Players yes. Coaches... don't count on that. It is far too easy to screw up clock management and make a loss look unintentional. And any coach with any sense and a loosing record is thinking about the draft... It does not take multiple seasons to lose a coaching job any more, there are way too many great coaches that are not coaching.

If I am the owner of Carolina, I am looking at next year.... Have been for a few weeks now.

Fox, and his staff, are out next year. They care less about Carolina draft choices than the players do. They are auditioning for new jobs.

What ever it takes to win... Going down fighting...
So...... Either I was correct or Atlanta is a lot better than we think they are. Carolina laid down the first half... Actually gave them the ball.

107 Yards Passing? Negative 5 yards passing in the first half????

As I said... Do not count on Carolina doing anything to the Falcons but boosting their stats.

Anyway... On to something more interesting. I am not sure I saw the same game that the analysts for nfl.com saw.

Im gonna be careful, and not assume we're going 13-3. To do that, we have to beat the Ravens in Baltimore, in the bad weather, vs. Ray Lewis and his parolees.

Then we have to beat the NFC's top team in their house. Mind you they're the top team, because we cant hit a 12 yard fieldgoal.

Then we have to take care of business against the Buccaneers, and you just cant assume in the NFL.

I tell you what, I'd be much less disappointed to go 13-3, and have to be a wildcard, than to actually have Atlanta blow it, and then us not capitalize. A lot of things can still happen, good and bad, and this is, at this point, a high wire act for us.

But you gotta admit, this is fun.
