John Fox Era Playoff Teams...

Something to think about this weekend, in the John Fox era we have had three playoff teams and each of those teams was involved in a season opener that came down to the last play of the game. In 2003, Jake came off the bench to rally the team to a victory with a last second TD pass to Ricky Proehl. In 2005, the Saints booted a field goal in the final seconds to beat the Panthers at home. And in 2008 the Panthers pulled off a shocker on the last play with Jake hitting Dante Rosario for the TD against the Chargers.

Maybe we should be rooting for a close game rather than a blowout.

close games are awesome after we win them, but they're absolute murder while they're being played. i almost died during the game vs. green bay last year.

i am a fan of absolutely steamrolling opponents. :D

this. We had a close one against Chicago, either last year or two years ago, early in the season. I actually caused property damage during that one.

FYI, that's how you know you're really a fan of a team; you break a table with your fist because you're losing.

Oh yeah!!! I miss Bill too, there were times where I would listen to games on the radio and mute the TV. Now not so much. He is one of the best in the business.

I watched a Dwill and Jstew video while I was on Youtube just now. I completely forgot all the offseason drama and all my questions about the Panthers. I watch that vid, and I'm reminded of how DOMINANT the Panthers are going to be this year!

...on offense at least

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
