We need to be humble and take one game at a time. There is alot of cockyness and bullshit around here. One game at a time and overlook no one

Thanks op for the stats. Pretty cool

I mean yeah we've been here before, once, but as fans we don't have to take it one game at a time.

the team is doing that and doing it very well.  They have to stay focussed, I can buy my SB ticket now if I want.

that said, I'll not look at the schedule and take it one week/game at a time and continue to think I have some sort of impact on the outcome.

This. Also jinxes are not real. We don't burn people accused of witchcraft at the stake anymore. With the exception of being loud and showing up to games, we fans have no impact on the games...and even that is limited. I'm looking at you Seattle. Sit down.

It should be noted that their ELO ratings take into account last year(they actually go back to the beginning of every franchise) which is why Seattle is still so high. These are not this season only rankings though they are very heavily weighted towards this year.

finally a bit of common sense - I get this weird funny feeling when someone starts blabbering about how "we" need to be this and that. It's almost like that person has a mouse in his pocket or something...

I'll admit to using we when referring to the team. I think it's out of laziness/efficiency though. It gets annoying to say "the team" or "the Panthers" all the time. Also, there is a small bit of truth to it when one considers that the players view the ambiguous "the fans" as an important piece of the organization.

At least those are my attempts to rationalize my use of we. Poor attempts I admit. :)

Why in the world do the fans on a message board need to calm down and "act like we have been here"?  We definitely have the right to be cocky and proud today after the game we had yesterday, and the whole season up until now.  fug being humble and nice....its not like what we say here has any bearing on how the Panthers play on Sundays.

Talk poo and be merry I say.

Yea, what i do and say has no bearing on what the Panthers as an organization will do. Only thing i can see is maybe and big maybe that some players may read the board and buy into our bullshit. However, they are grown men that get paid to do what they do, so hopefully they know better than to follow and listen to a bunch of fans on their opinions.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
