If Atlanta AND Cleveland win this weekend....

[Paa Langfart]

I just want rivera fired at this point.  I dont care what it takes to make that happen.

[Mage]

Depends.  Would it lead to Rivera getting fired?

[Omega Atrocity]

Whomever wins this damn division is going to be talked about endlessly for years by ESPN as the worst team to ever reach the playoffs.

We better go all the way of we somehow pull this outta the bag.

The team that wins is going to have 7 or 8 wins. Seattle made it at 7-9.

[PanthersClinic]

I don't know if you can be disappointed in a team as bad as the 2014 Panthers.  The team was sabotaged in the offseason, the QB has been injured and one of the highest paid players is exempt for crime.

 

The fact we still have a chance is a huge surprise.

Damn no one remembers getting blown out to the Packers in 96?

 

That was the first big let down. I mean ... Super Bowl in our 2nd year?! And 1st in Charlotte...that would've been big...but maybe too big for us at that time in some way...Like we didn't deserve that quite yet, as a fanbase.

 

But that would certainly be in my Top 10.

Not nearly as bad as Siefert getting rid of Buerline to have Jeff Lewis as the starter for the season and later go 1-15 w/Weinke after J Lewis was cut from the team!

[B.BERSIN]

Don't know how we suck as a franchise until I read these above posts.

[Bj-Monster23]

Saints W + Panthers L = Saints clinch division

Saints L + Panthers W = Saints eliminated

Saints won't be eliminated if that happen.

[MadHatter]

Saints won't be eliminated if that happen.

 

Yes they will be eliminated.

 

If the Panthers and Falcons win, the Saints are eliminated and it sets up a winner take all game next week in Atlanta.

 

If the Falcons win Sun and then the following week, they are 7-9.

 

If the Panthers win Sun and then the following week, they are 7-8-1.

 

If the Saints lose Sun and then win against TB, they are 7-9....they lose to both Panthers and Falcons on record.  One more loss than Panthers and tied with Falcons (but Falcons would have won both head to head).

 

 

 

[The_Light_Brigade]

maybe we can blame the rotation of the Earth for pushing the ball to the right.

 

It works as an excuse for my slice....

[Jangler]

I love Kasay, but the defense didn't stand much of a chance to stop Brady once we handed him the ball on the 40 only needing a FG and having the most clutch kicker in NFL history warming up on the sidelines. We all pretty much knew the game was over when that kick sailed OB. The D had a very tough job. Kicking a ball and keeping it inbounds on a 53.3 yard wide field isn't.

 

Yeah, I know...a lot of factors happened on why we lost...Fox going for two 2 point conversions. But IMO in came down to the D and they failed on the most important drive of the season. oh well...

[AviationMX]

Might not even make top 10.

 

1. Kasay kicking off out of bounds in the Super Bowl.

2. Kerry Collins being a drunk washout, then leading the Giants (my dad's team) to a Super Bowl.

3. Trading a second round pick that eventually became the #33 overall pick for a FCS running QB, who would then be groomed as a failure of a slot receiver.

4. Delhomme meltdown against Arizona.

5. Twenty years of existence and no back to back winning seasons.

6. Winning game 1, then losing 15 in a row in 2001.

7. Andrew Luck proactively avoiding the team.

8. Drafting Jimmy Clausen. I knew he would suck, just knew it. I have witnesses from when the pick was made.

9. Somehow being the worst team in the league AND headed for cap hell at the same time in 2010.

10. The Rae Carruth and Fred Lane things happening within one year of each other.

 

There is a long and healthy tradition of disappointment here. Those are my top items; sure I left out some good ones. YMMV.

 

thanks for the list of failures...I doubt the list accomplishments is as long.

 

for some reason, Delhomme's meltdown is the most pissed i've ever been...and it's long list. Talk about coaching- how about pulling a guy when he's just totally lost it.

[MV%doe]

Im already disappointed. The meat part of the sandwich schedule, did me in. So long as the math states there's a chance, I'm all for the playoffs. If they make the playoffs, I'll revist my feeling on the matter.

[restNChrist]

Funny, but i feel that I'm the only one who would put Smitty being waived when he is still a no.1 receiver on a playoff team not named the Panthers on my top 10 panthers disappointments.  For a decade he was everyone's favorite player.

 

1. Not winning Super Bowl

2. 08 Cardinals shellacking

3. 1-15

4. Hurney RB magic

5. '13 playoff loss to Niners

6. Shula

7. Smitty being waived

8. Peppers being traded

9. No back to back winning seasons

10. No back to back NFC championships
