From 2011-2012 the panthers were 2-12 in games decided by 7 points or less. Since 2013 we are 12-4

For the longest time, when the chips were down it was a foregone conclusion that the panthers would find a way to lose every close game they played. For the past couple years though, that impending doom feeling has been replaced by hope and optimism.

I'll admit the old habits crept in after that second pick Cam threw. But this isn't your father's panthers. This team can win the close ones. This team doesn't pack it in at the first sign of adversity. It seems like the Riverboat has built a hard nosed football team that finds ways to win. 

The Cardiac Cats are back.

A lot of that is the growth and maturity of our players and coaches, so I dont want to take anything away from that.

But also, a lot of it is just regression to the mean. We were SO unlucky for two years.  Every important bounce went against us.  At some point those bounces had to go our way and even out.

Seattle is kind of going the opposite direction.  They got so many breaks last two years.  Now everyone is wondering what is wrong.  Nothing is wrong with Seattle.  They are a really good team that has lost 4 close games that in the past, they won, sometimes in lucky fashion.

The Seahawks really have been the luckiest team in the league the past few years. Everyone remembers the last play in the super bowl, but that was only set up because of the luckiest play I think I've ever seen.

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By strato · Posted

      see we are just not going to agree - unless you change your mind lol. Mine isn’t changing without hard evidence that Morgan supported it like a puppy dog.  He was the assistant. If he disagreed and said so, and they didn’t listen, he has to pick his battles. If he continued to oppose he is looking for work. He knows this stuff. I think he knows Bryce is a super long shot just because he faced NFL QBs and probably would have salivated at the thought of Bryce on the other side in his playing days.  Anyway I am going to judge him on what he has done since he’s been the man with the title.  I also would bet a stack that there were conditions placed on him and on Canales re Bryce Young. Can’t prove it. I am not supporting the Brooks pick, and rationalizing the XL pick. And rationalizing the Brooks pick to an extent, on the (assumed by me) mandate that was a condition of the hiring. Which was ‘sell out’ to make Bryce work. This year. Now. (2024) That is what those top two picks were.  IMO. They failed, id judged today.  I think Morgan is doing a great job really, once he got his feet under him and was allowed to do his job.  Fixing this team while accommodating Tepper/Bryce, more than a two year fix.    Anyhow I have beer to drink will check back later.
