He just cannot handle his emotions. It's either smiles and celebrations or the "someone just killed my dog" look with the towel over his head.
It also cannot be understated just how awful the NFC East is. There's a 90% chance 7-9 or 8-8 wins that division. If they didn't play each other in division it might be four 5-11 teams. The Giants might still be the favourites at 6 loses.

Yeah, but every year someone gets into the playoff because their schedule let them play a lot of bad teams. Someone can argue that Kansas City and San Diego are also benefitting from an easy schedule. So in the case of Carolina they can put up 4-5 wins within their Division. They are matched up against the AFC East so they may be able to pull off 3 wins there. This year a team with 10 wins will have a shot at the second wild card spot. No one else in the South is going to win more than 8 games. No one in the NFC East is a threat. So is Arizona, Detroit or Chicago going to be able to win 10 games? Detroit is a possibility but the other teams don't look like it to me. So that leaves Carolina as having a shot.
In terms of the NFC East, I think Dallas can run the table in that Division, at worst go 5-1...It would be pretty funny to see a team with a 6-0 Division record finish at 8-8 and win the Division (The Raiders actually did this in 2010 but didn't win the Division but they had a 8-8 record with a 6-0 Division record), and I think that's exactly what happens. At least the Cowboys have competed in their 4 losses losing two games by a single point and by a field goal to Denver. Which is something the other NFC East teams really aren't doing.
