Does being undefeated make you more nervous?

Are you okay with "as long as we have home field" or "we'll probably lose at least one or two"? Or are you one of the folks who wants an undefeated season bad and frets over each game?

First, this was prime poll material (he he). Also, I'm a complete nervous wreck. Always knowing the 9-7, and even missing the playoffs, is still a mathematical possibility.

The only thing that make me nervous is that for the rest of the regular season, we are better than everyone we face.  That means if we lose, it was to an inferior team. 

For us to lose to an inferior team that mean something bad happened.  That something bad makes me nervous.

right now the Panthers are playing with "house money." Even in my wildest dreams I never would have thought that the Panthers would be in the position they are right now (especially after losing KB).

I'm not worried. Ron knows a thing about winning and expectations (85 Bears) and the guys seem to be playing loose and not looking too far ahead of the next game.

Right now I've got the Panthers and new Star Wars movies. life is pretty effing sweet :D

Yea I'll admit it makes me a bit nervous. I'm one of the "wants the undefeated season bad" types. It would be even more special than just the first 19-0 team. We're a team most people didn't give a chance of even getting to .500 this year. Most Super Bowl winners most people expect to at least be pretty good. We'd be a huge shocker. When the Patriots almost did it in 07 they were expected to be good and people weren't that surprised.  For this team to do it would be truly special.

I was nervous for our 4 games against so-called "murderers row."  I desperately wanted us to beat Seattle & Green Bay and show that we are a legit team.

Now that we've got those wins under our belts, and gotten off to such a phenomenal start, I'm somewhat less nervous.  But I think for divisional games against the Saints & Falcons, the nerves will be back.  I want us to stomp on the NFCS and show everyone who rules the South!

I do want us to shine on national TV against Dallas in Dallas, so that game too is huge. 

Last Sunday and this Sunday however, I'm not sweating it.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
