George Santayana once said that those who fail to study the past are doomed to repeat it. Well close your motherfugin history books because the past is about to repeat itself and dammit that's a good thing. 

 

"But PhillyB! We suck! How could this be?!"

 

Shut up, CharlottePanther. The past I mean is Ron Rivera in November and December. Following is the Panthers record in November since 2011:

 

L - Tennessee Titans, 2011

L - Detroit Lions, 2011

W - Indianapolis Colts, 2011

W - Washington Redskins, 2012

L - Denver Broncos, 2012

L - Tampa Bay Bucs, 2012

W - Philadelphia Eagles, 2012

W - Atlanta Falcons, 2013

W - San Francisco 49ers, 2013

W - New England Patriots, 2013

W - Miami Dolphins, 2013

 

That's right, Ron Rivera is 7-4 in November. The Ron Rivera Panthers haven't lost a November game since our shitty 2012 defense allowed an effortless overtime touchdown to a wide open fatass on the Bucs.

 

On to December:

 

W - Tampa Bay Bucs, 2011

L - Atlanta Falcons, 2011

W - Houston Texans, 2011

W - Tampa Bay Bucs, 2011

L - Kansas City Chiefs, 2012

W - Atlanta Falcons, 2012

W - San Diego Chargers, 2012

W - Oakland Raiders, 2012

W - New Orleans Saints, 2012

W - Tampa Bay Bucs, 2013

L - New Orleans Saints, 2013

W - New York Jets, 2013

W - New Orleans Saints, 2013

W - Atlanta Falcons, 2013

 

That's right, Ron Rivera is 11-3 in December. Holy fuging poo, the only games the Ron Rivera Panthers have lost in December are to the Falcons back in 2011 when our defense couldn't stop a paraplegic, the Chiefs when Javon Belcher decided to galvanize his entire team, and 2013 when the Saints* proved unstoppable in their sewer bubble.

 

Going into November in our last two years, our records have been 2-6 (2011), 1-6 (2012), and 4-3 (2013). Yeah, we've been mediocre to abysmal ever year without fail. This year we are somewhere in between both. But we have seven games left and they're all in November and December, when Ron Rivera whips out his gigantic testes and hurls them onto the field. So here's how the rest of the season is going to unfold:

 

Week 10: WIN. The Panthers get healthy and throttle the Mark Sanchez Eagles on MNF, where Cam is undefeated.

Week 11: WIN. Matt Ryan throws eight interceptions and dies under Wes Horton's cleats.

Week 12: BYE. Panthers gameplan for the hapless Vikings.

Week 13: WIN. Teddy Bridgewater comes up short and Cam beats that ass like …I don't even need to finish the joke

Week 14: LOSS. We can't overcome the Saints* in the fart dome, which becomes one of their three remaining wins.

Week 15: WIN. The Bucs are the Bucs.

Week 16: WIN. The Browns surge but fall short.

Week 17: WIN. Melvin White seals it with another pick-six on TJ Yates, filling in for the late Matt Ryan.

 

 

Panthers win the division at 9-6-1.

i say we might be able to afford to lose one more game, but that can't be in NO where i give us 1% chance of winning at this time.

 

people claim we have an easy schedule going forward, after the eagles game. there is no such thing as an easy schedule if your team is not good. right now, we are not only not good, but incompetent. that starts with our coaches in preparation down to the players lack of execution on game days.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
