Be depressed tonight. But be happy tomorrow. 2015 will be the year of the Panthers

[Jmac]

This team was not a playoff caliber team this year. Just reality.

[Doc Holiday]

We said the same thing last year

there was a few people that thought we would take a step back. and we did but we still won the NFCS and you have to admit its a step in the right direction.

[The_Mango55]

I'm not really depressed, especially compared to the game against SF last year.

 

This was the year everyone thought was a rebuilding/cap hell year and we made the playoffs and won a game, plus had chances against the team with the best record in the league but were too young and mistake prone to capitalize.

[Evodion]

This team is going to be pretty damn good!

[TimTom]

no it won't

[Keith Moons Liver]

"Next year" is our annual warcry 

[tiger7_88]

Why would anyone let their depression linger beyond tonight? Won 5 straight games and kept it close until the 4th quarter against the best team in the league in their own stadium when we were 3-8-1 this season? We have young rookie talent ALL OVER THE PLACE that now have all the experience in the world going into 2015. We're almost out of cap hell. We have a great GM that we all expect to find more Benwikeres and Norwells in the offseason. 

 

I'm as happy as one can be after a playoff loss. We need to replace Byron Bell, find a returner, find a couple more receivers that can play, maybe another safety and...then what will our weakness be? Our stock couldn't be higher.

 

Not if Ron Rivera or Mike Shula are involved with this organization.

 

If either or both are?  Same old poo, man.

 

Same old poo.

Every year is supposed to be the year of the Panthers, I'm happy that we got to the Playoffs and we won a game. But I'm tired that year after year we get our hopes high and end up with the same bullshit.

[Rook35200]

Shula has to go...

[Cpt slay a ho]

can't be mad when you look at the roster, our wr core is trash besides 2 people,bell is still the issue 3 years later and we have roman harper still playin safety(although he did play well as of late), and our probowl de is at home

 

besides all those things,in order to mask those we need very good coordinators......we do not have those

[pamlicopanther]

You guys realize we had 8 rookies starting tonight? 

 

Exactly - Last year several key players were on 1 year deals and left for more money.  Many key players this year are rookies and will be back.  They now have play off experience and the future is bright.  Kind of like the Seahawks after 2010.

[doghead28]

Every year is different. When you get there have to seize the moment. I remember when the Panthers made the Super Bowl and assuming they would get back, well how did that work out. I hope we are just beginning too but have to take advantage of every opportunity and not make assumption that will be back. With all that being said I think with the right moves this team can build a solid base and be consistently succusful.

[steveSmokin_D]

I say keep rivera but shula needs to go asap. 

[B.BERSIN]

We said the same thing last year

 

Just don't know why people could be so confident about the next year while nothing can back them up.
