As recently as last week we were all talking about the Carolina Panthers postseason chances. Sorry, chance. The team, then 1-10, had the hilarious opportunity to run the table and win the NFC South crown if the other three NFC South teams also lost nearly all of their remaining games. That opportunity no longer exists after the Atlanta Falcons beat the New York Jets and the Panthers lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last night. The New England Patriots are the only other team in the NFL to have been eliminated from the playoffs this season.
