Will you be happy with just a good showing?


top dawg

The way that the pre-season went, in regards to us looking out of kilter (particularly on defense), would you be happy if we had a good showing in a losing effort? I know that moral victories really don't exist in football, but it's only the first game against a team that is arguably a top contender in the NFC (from a week 1 standpoint). Deep down, would you get a sense of satisfaction with JUST a good showing?

Expecting a win, I'd be disappointed with anything less.

But not only are the Eagles considered a top NFC contender, I believe ESPN's power rankings has them at #4 in the NFL. I think that's mostly because they've been sucking off Mike Vick, because we're ranked like 14th and I'm pretty sure we're a better team.

I am not approaching this season with a sense of pending loss prior to the first snap. Panthers fans have to be the most pessimistic fans on the planet. Any given Sunday baby. I think we are going to shock the country again. Final score 31-10 Panthers with DeAngelo going for 125 and 2 scores, a TE (likely King) going for at least 80yds on drop offs across the middle, Smitty scoring once, and D. Jarrett showing up with a fade to the right corner.

Let's go CATS!!!!!!

They usually start the season a bit slow so though I will be unhappy if they lose, I won't think it spells TEH DOOM. And I don't expect a W today anyway. Losing while looking good can cut either way depending on the mindset of the team IMO.They could feel OK we are better than this and just kind of blow it off, or it could inspire them to correct things. Week 1 is almost always a weird week anyway.

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
