Can you hope again?

Honestly, yesterday had an "every dog has it's day" feel to it.  While I always love it when we beat the Saints, there were just a lot of errors from the Saints that you don't normally see them make.  From drops in the hands (how many times do you see ball bounce off of Jimmy Graham's hands?) to their usually horrific D, I was kind of in disbelief.

 

Has this season ruined me for hopefulness from the Panthers?  I don't think so, but we have been playing so completely bad the past two months, I am still kind of in shock.

 

That being said, if we play like we did yesterday the next three games, there no reason we can't win the division.  There's no reason we can't make a run in the play offs.  But the Panthers have to keep playing that well.  I really hope this was a sign that the corner has been turned.  I really do!

Never lost hope I picked up Cam and Jstew for fantasy  LAST WEEK  I know how this works. Bad season Good finish may FINALLY PAY OFF

 

LOL..the fact you waited until last week to pick them up means either you arent really a Panthers fan to begin with (should have had them from week one like us REAL fans)...or otherwise you take fantasy WAY too seriously.

 

For the record, i drafted an all Panthers team (real fan here) from week one, and am currently in 3rd place in my league. Will i win anything? Likely not. Did I support the Panthers even before things went bad? Hell Yes! Think about that the next time you make a post pretending to support the team

Don't be dumb. Good grief if a few meaningless late season wins keep that idiots job safe we are never going to see any kind of consistent success. We've been here before. Learn from history. 

 

In past seasons, yes, the late season wins HAVE been meaningless, but HISTORY tells me that we're 12-3 in December under Rivera. LEARNING from that history, I know that wins this season in December ARE NOT meaningless. Win'em all, Cats! Let's go to the playoffs, whatta ya say?

We had a good week, any team can do that. Let's not get too happy we've been bad more than good. I'll believe the team if they can put on another impressive win. I'm not going to be won over after 1 good week. Remember, WE BLEW OUT A TEAM HAVE JUST AS BAD A YEAR AND RECORD AS US. Sure, I'd like us to make playoffs, but in all honesty we'll probably get destroyed in the playoffs.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
