So if the Panthers do go 19-0 would they be considered the worst undefeated team ever or are they better than the '72 Dolphins?
It don't matter.
None of this matters.
>>64398293
Why are you on /sp/ then? No sports really matter
>>64398301
It don't matter.
>>64398293
No, the Panthers don't matter, and I'm not even the first guy to post that.
>>64398280
They would pretty much be the same since both did the same thing. However, if you look into the 72' Dolphins season you will see that they are overrated.
People will make the exscuses about how they never played a real team and the SoS was the only reason it happened. But over time people will forget that and just remember that only one team has ever gone undefeated to win the chip since the NFL went to 16 game seasons. In 20 years no one will talk about how they played nobodies, only how they were 19-0.
I feel like the same will happen to the pats. One day people wont shout "****" everytime you talk about them just because of the sheer magnitude of their accomplishments.
But at the same time it's fucking retarded people saying they haven't played anyone. Every single year there are teams with easy as fuck SoS. If that was all it took we would have way more than 2 undefeated teams ever.
Nobody cares about football in 2015. It don't matter
>>64398512
First off, they won't. If they got to the Superb Owl they would lose to either the Steelers or the Patriots, but they won't make it there anyway.
They're gonna lose to the Seahawks in the NFCG. Everyone knows the Seahawks and Panthers play each other tough especially in Carolina. The Panthers will lose 17-13 on a last minute rushing touchdown by Wilson.
>>64398487
The 72' Dolphins played an even weaker schedule than the 2015 Panthers have if you can believe that. Like you said though, if they pull it off the haters will fall off eventually.
The are already better than the '72 Dolphins, who are better than the '48 Browns.
it's evolution.
Definitely the worst 16-0 team. But if they won the owl, no. You beat Seattle, Green Bay, Arizona, and maybe NewEngland in the playoffs, you've earned it. I hate Carolina but anyone who says the title winning team was bad in any way can fuck off.
>never lose a game
>worst x-0 team ever
I wish this meme would stop.
>>64398548
yea thats what i imagine. Everytime I hear anything about those immortal 72 fins I dont hear a thing about who they played.
>>64398280
they ain't winning an owl with fucking Ted Ginn as their #1 WR
he would drop the game winning TD guaranteed
>>64398631
Don't matter
>>64398545
>lose to the steelers
lol
16-1
I'm so goddamn happy not to have a losing season. Just wish my jagbros could get into the playoffs and make a run.
>>64398666
checked
no chance they go undefeated they legit suck
>>64398280
panthers should honestly rest the starters and lose a game before the playoffs
if they go 16-0 and lose in the divisional round they will never hear the end of it, its even worse than 18-1 because at least you make it to the superbowl
>>64398720
The 2011 Draft really fucked us up
See you next year Pantherbro, good luck in the playoffs
>>64398773
16-1 is worse than 18-1? I dont fucking think so.
>>64398796
This. Panthers haven't been good long enough or as successful as the Patriots were. There's not enough of a bandwagon to piss with.
>>64398792
At least Blake Bortles is on his way to becoming elite. If Jacksonville fixes the defense. They could win the division despite Luck.
It feels like it will be Carolina's year. They have went well beyond all expectations.
>>64398773
>patsfags 18-1 choke
>thinking anything could surpass it
Sorry dude Tommy tom has the greatest choke in sports history on his resume. Nothing comes close.
>>64398731
>play failcucks and gay pirates
>beat both already
The giants were are last true threat. The only loss might be resting starters after we secure home field.
What if the Patriots cuck the Panthers in the superb owl?
Would they pass the 18-1 curse to them?
>>64398545
>the Steelers
>>64399080
That would be true redemption for the Pats
>>64399044
oh shit
>>64399044
>>64399080
It's written in the stars
Last season, Tom and his evil team of bandits ruined the fairytale repeat chance for the Seahawks.
This season he will end the possibility of the Panthers winning the SB and going unbeaten.
>>64399080
What if the panthers cuck the patriots in the superb owl to go 19-0. Would patsfags disappear like they did after they lost to the eagles or would they just pretend Carolina hasn't accomplished anything. Like they have all year.
Anyone else kind of hoping for a Giants Patriots Super Bowl again?
>>64399638
Giants sneaking in as a 5 or 6 seed and beating Touchdown Tom for a third time would literally blow up /sp/
>>64399714
>OBJ catches a pass between his asscheeks as time expires
>Brady's head literally explodes
>Belichick is having a seizure on the 50 yard line
>>64399764
It would have to be loss on a freak catch yeah. Pats so nearly got done by one AGAIN last year.
>>64399769
I watched the highlights a couple nights ago, my favourite part was Brady's heart breaking when Kearse caught that pass. "Oh shit, it's happening again"
>>64398666
>>64398280
I don't understand why the Panthers' schedule matters. We all know if the Pats were still undefeated, their faggot fans would be endlessly spamming this board about how it's the GOAT team regardless of their cake schedule.
>yfw brady makes someone feel the feels that he had onced feels
Imagine kelvin benjamin after they go perfect
It would feel like an unearned ring, you missed out on being on one of the greatest teams ever, will never get a ring again.
rip benjamin
>>64398280
They only win against dumpsterfire teams so if they go 19- 0 then that means in multiverse theory we are the dumpster fire universe
>>64398545
They already beat the Seahawks
And the steelers won't even make the playoffs you delusional faggot
Stop being retarded. Nobody thinks the steelers are a threat, so many better AFC teams
I just don't see NE not getting to the owl.
The Bengals or Chiefs? lmao
The Broncos? nah
The Texans? They'll lose after beating cincy. I guarantee it.
Stoolers? Probably the second best team in the AFC, but I dunno. Brady has always had their number.
As for the NFC, there is no way that it isn't going to be Arizona, the Seacucks, or Carolina. Maybe GB has an outside chance but I don't see it. I feel like Carolina is going to get btfo in the divisional round if they play Seattle. If it doesn't happen there I doubt they'll beat whomever plays in the NFCCG unless it's like the vikings or some other weird shit.
>>64398280
i just want them to go 19-0 so I can watch /sp/ burn.
can you imagine all the rage the patsfags will unleash when this happens?
>16-1
>>64398280
>worst undefeated team
Since there will only be one other team to compare to (said '72 Dolphins) and one regular season undefeated team ('07 Patriots), and comparing eras is useless, they would be the best statistically because offensive stats are so inflated right now, and yet also the worst because their schedule has been so incredibly easy and they have glaring weaknesses, like injuries and almost letting a 28-point lead slip away last night.
It also depends on who they draw in the playoffs. I hsve a feeling they won't make it to the SB simply because the other NFC playoff teams are just better. We've seen plenty of the opposite in the past, though (coughcoughGiantscoughcough). Whether Cam can get on Eli's level like that with who he has to work with there is no doubt, but they can easily get upset in the divisional, or even in the last 2 games of the regular season. You know, it can happenany given Sunday.
>>64400464
This, the AFC has two teams that are going to fall ass first into a playoff spot. NFC's only real weak playoff member atm is the Redskins, but they're a lot better than their record reveals (Cowboys fan btw so I know who's worth shit in the NFCE). Really wouldn't mind seeing the Redskins btfo Seattle and Carolina out. They'll inevitably drop the ball in the championship though, probably against the Packers or Cards.
>>64398280
1) you play the schedule you're given, so "they only played cupcakes" isn't exactly fair to them
2) '72 Dolphins also played nobodies, and 2 less games, as well
If you really think about it, the only way to go undefeated in any sport is to play mostly shitty teams. The '07 Patriots played the Ravens, Steelers, and Giants, the rest were shit.
>>64398666
Satan says so
>>64398280
Worst and undefeated shouldn't be in the same sentence
>>64399101
suddenly 18-1 is a meme on their side
Not only will they be they worst undefeated team, but the 16-0 achievement will be so tarnished that no one will care to go for it again and teams will be sitting players instead
>>64399044
And dubs
>>64400464
Next week is ultimate trap game
@Falcons, ATL got BTFO last time but appears to be getting the wheels back on the bus and are playing to get to .500
Nothing is impossible in this league, all it takes is a single player having a monster day and it's suddenly a game
>>64399141
why does Tom Brady cry?
UPDATED PLAYOFF SCENARIO IN PIC

Can someone lay out the possible scenarios for teams on the fringe or likely to get knocked out of their WC spot?

Would Matt Ryan be considered elite if he derailed the third perfect regular season in NFL history?

left your trip on, faggot
to answer your faggot question though, if the Failcons stumble into the playoffs by some cosmic bullshit and Ryan then leads them to at least the NFCCG then yes, yes he is elite
because ATL is not a good football team.
>>64398545
I think the cards will stop em
>>64400657
forgot to finish my reply both times, that's all, faggot.
>>64398280
played like one team above .500
Patriots will BTFO the Panthers and end that bandwagon just like we did the Seahawks
>>64398301
why are you on earth cause nothing matters
>>64398792
Damn that is about the worst draft I've ever seen
>>64400517
Carolina absolutely raped the redskins
>>64398293
cheer up carl
>>64400698
Go back to bed, Tom.
>>64399816
DELETE THIS
>>64399888
mfw he comes back next year and they go 38-0
>>64398280
they could be called whatever people want but it wouldn't matter if they have the title
>implying Carolina will get past Arizona in the Championship round
Arizona is the more complete team and played a harder schedule. Don't overlook them just because one team is "undefeated"
Especially since we have 18-1 as a reminder.
I do think the NFC will win this year. The Patriots really aren't that good (only team with an easier schedule than Carolina) but they still look like they have a clear path to the owl because of the sliding of other teams.
Though I guess the Queefs might actually beat New England if they meet. New England tends to struggle with them anyway and they are playing good right now while New England isn't all that impressive anymore.
The Queefs won't go to the owl though, they'll lose in the Championship round to whoever they play.
>>64402674
>Vikings
>Getting past the wildcard
I have seen a lot of shit living in Charlotte the majority of my life. 1-15, 2-14.... it has been brutal. This season has been great, but honestly, I want them to rest the starters. 18-1 with a Super Bowl victory is far better than a repeat of the Pats. A loss is tricky at this point. I feel like one loss would deflate morale and they would crumble.
>>64402779
Cam Newton wont have a long career with the way he plays either.
He loves eating big hits for no good reason other than his ego telling him hes "2 tuff 2 slyde"
>>64402978
Clearly you don't watch the Panthers
>>64403563
clearly you have fanboy blinders on when you watch the panthers.
On most of those "big runs" he eats a hit at the end. Sometimes he will get out of bounds, but thats only sometimes. Dude barely ever slides, almost always chooses to try to take on defenders in the middle of the field.
>>64398545
>Pats or Steelers
Not even a Panthers hater/fan, but they could run the table, win 40-0 in the Super Bowl, and people would still get going with the
>hurrrr dis team couldn't hold the jock of da '72 Dolphins/'85 Bears
I've got a feeling they lose the NFCCG
>>64403603
not who you were replying to, but he runs much more selectively this year and has only taken about 3 noteworthy hits
>>64398280
They would beat the living shit out of the '72 Dolphins because they are all old or in some cases dead.
>comparing dissimilar things
>>64398617
You are essentially correct, but please tell me who your team is so I can hate them back.
>>64398631
>he would drop the game winning TD guaranteed
You are ignorant, friend. He CATCHES those -- his dropsies seem to evaporator when the game is on the line.
>>64398720
>>64399714
If the Panthers can;t win out, that would be my second choice just for the lulz.
>>64399764
Icing on the cake. Let's do this.
>>64399888
That actually would really suck.
Can they activate him and let him in on the kneel-down at the end, or something?
>>64400517
>I know who's worth shit in the NFCE
So do I -- the entire division is worth shit.
>>64400597
They'd be insane to rest players before they clench home field, though.
>>64400604
>Next week is ultimate trap game
Nah, poor Atlanta has the nad luck to AGAIN get the Panthers in a week when they are mad as Hell and wanting to prove something after a poor defensive show.
Sure, Atlanta could win, any team might win on a given day -- but I'd say it is more likely they get shut out again, and way more likely that they just get demolished..
>>64403603
You need to watch THIS year's games, friend. He is much more about getting the first down and out of bounds than in the past -- but if the way to make the play is up the middle and take a hit, he's a big dude and can do it. He's not the reckless runner he was even last year.
>>64400579
Florida State last year
I just want a champion that isn't the patriots, steelers or seattle.
It would be perfect for a SB with two teams that haven't won it all.
Odds of winning 14 straight through pure chance are about 1 in 16,000.
A team with a black cat for a logo is not THAT lucky -- they are damn good.
Being damn good changes the odds, and makes something that is astronomically unlikely into something that will happen once in a great while, though you still need s bit of schedule luck and a lucky bounce here or there.
Are they better than a team that is 12-2? Hard to say, we'll find out in the playoffs.
But nobody in the NFL is going to win 14 straight on a fluke,
>>64398280
Better
played more games
played teams with better records (never played another team better than 8-6)
>>64399764
Stop, I can only be so erect
>>64402978
Why is this a bad thing? QBs are fucking pussies these days. That's why I like cam and fitzy, when they run it they take the hits like men.
>>64398280
But the Bucs will win on week 17 because Carolina will rest their starters
>>64399154
>implying the seacucks weren't evil team
Pats fan here. Our sos is only better than the panthers by two wins. Our opponents have 83, theirs have 81.
Shut up about sos.
>>64406398
No. /sp/ just hates them.
If any football team is 'le evil guys', it's Tom Bradly and Bill Ballacheat
>>64406684
If this was a sports movie, Brady would be the hero.
>Sixth round draft pick no one believes in becomes the GOAT in spite of everyone trying to bring him down
All he needs is an Owl win against an Eli-led Giants team and it's perfect.
>>64406751
Maybe in 2001, but nowadays they're pure unadulterated evil

Would this be the biggest shitstorm on the board?

but anon, only edgy /sp/ posters talk about asterisks and baby schedules. in real life, most people acknowledge these accomplishments for what they are

No they would be considered the luckiest
