Does Carolina care about....

[Brees#1]

possibly knocking Atlanta out of the playoffs even if the saints win the division?

What a hot mess the NFC south is.

If Atlanta gets in the playoffs and they get up 20, will they forget about Devonte Freeman again? They shouldn't be allowed in after that super bowl Debacle

Stupid thread. Carolina are not losing to Tampa so therefore they will be playing for a division title no matter what in week 17

Only if you think NO is going to lose to Tampa

Matt Ryan has been underwhelming this season.

Just consider the source.

Maybe not.

Correct me if I’m wrong but a decent chance Atlanta/Carolina gets flexed to the Sunday night game week 17. What other matchup what would it be?

So if the Saints win the next two they will have clinched the division before that game kicks since they have the tiebreaker over Carolina. Therefore Carolina could knock Atlanta out if a team like Detroit/Dallas/Seattle are sitting at 10-6.

There is no Sunday night game week 17.

Don’t they always wait until after the week 16 games finish before they announce the game ?

Maybe? Just didn't see one on the schedule . You may be right

Yep . You're right. I'm just stupid lol

By my math, 10-6 is a lock for ATL with h-t-h over SEA, DAL and DET so if they beat the Saints, they are in....if the beat the Saints and CAR they repeat as DIV champs.

So the OP was obviously thinking they would lose out.

Sort of a goofy question. The bottom line is if both the saints and panthers win this weekend then I believe the Panthers will be locked in at the #5 seed and very well might rest some starters against Atlanta the following week

They technically aren't locked into the 5 seed. They can still win the division if the Saints lose to Tampa in Week 17 and they beat the Falcons

Tampa is mailing it in on Koetter.....he's lost the locker room. I strongly doubt they win a game the last 2 weeks.

I thought they lost by 3 to the Falcons.

If that is mailing it in ...than Seattle used Fed Ex.

Nope you're wrong. The only way the Panthers are eliminated from the South is if the Saints win this weekend and they lose. This is what makes this a stupid thread IMO unless the OP thinks Tampa goes into Carolina and win on Sunday

Possibly Jaguars/Titans. If the Jags lose in Santa Clara on Sunday while the Titans win at home then that game next sunday is for the division title.

Yeah has to be Atlanta/Carolina or Jacksonville/Tennessee
