With the panthers at 1-2 it isn't entirely impossible for the panthers to have a shot at the Wild Card.  From looking at the schedule the panthers would need to:

1. Beat: Vikings, Colts, Titans (all feasible) Record: 4-2
   
2. Win one two of these: Bears, Texans, Lions, Redskins (Personally I think the Bears are the easiest out of these) Record: 6-4
3. Split our games within the NFC South Division + 1 more game: Beat Falcons, Saints, and Bucs once + Beating either the Falcons or Bucs a second time i.e....go 4-2 in NFC South
   

This would make the record 10-6.  I can dream anyways. 

Editor's Notes in Italics: And dream you are on going 4-2 in the NFC South but it is possible I agree ...but not probable.
