Does being undefeated make you more nervous?

[Sam Mills Fan]

I'm of two minds. I want us to win every single game we play and I would love nothing more than to be the only team in history to go 19-0. Go 19-0 and you can rub every other obnoxious fan base's faces in the mud about that, that's something no one else has done.

 

However...does THIS team deserve to be known as the only team to go 19-0 in history? Are the 2015 Carolina Panthers the best team in the history of football? Of course they're not and a part of me realizes just how weird and off that would be.

I don't see why this team can't be the best team in history. Might not have the greatest collection of individuals, but I can't think of another team in history that was as tight or defined "team play" better.

The only game I'll be extra nervous about losing is the nationally televised game against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. 

Thanksgiving games are huge to say the least. For my family, as well as many others, it's part of the holiday tradition.  I want turkey, mash potatoes and a victory... please and thank you.

Phone's fault. I am blameless.

I'm not concerned about a perfect season, but I want every game to be a win... if that makes sense.

Hadn't thought about the 19-0 thing as "best ever", which would be very cool. I will be at the Bucs game, so and undefeated season would be cool to see in person. (I live in Richmond so getting to games is a once or twice a year thing). Was hoping to see NFCCG if it goes down in Charlotte, but at the prices they're fetching already on Stubhub, that won't be happening.

Nothing in this life is prefect. A loss will come...just the yin/yang of life. No worries about that.

They dont have to be perfect to be undefeated. The 72 Dolphins were undefeated and they had weaknesses. Its possible to out yin the yang. 

Now do I think it will happen? Nah. But I didnt think we'd be 9-0 either.

Eating Taco Bell makes me nervous ... unprotected sex makes me nervous .. But being undefeated .. nah bruh

Basically "one game at a time".

That's the approach players and coaches always prefer.

Basically, but as a fan, I get the luxury of looking ahead.  I want to win Sunday, as always, but my main focus is on Dallas, and embarrassing them at home on Thanksgiving.  Luckily, I don't believe the team is thinking about Dallas yet.

[Dunn]

not nervous, but frustrated if we lose because then all of the talking heads in the media will post on how our true colors showed because we lost a game, thus dropping any credibility we apparently have in contentions of being a 'for real' team and continue to get crapped on with the media. 

 

I should be use to it by now but it still bothers me.

My wife has commented several times that this season Im more relaxed during the games than any season she can remember - and that woman has a memory like an elephant.

 

My nerves at this point are over being blown out.  As long as we are in every game Im pretty chill at this point.

Rivera has generally done a good job of keeping the team focused on the task at hand and not letting them look ahead.

The 85 Bears got steamrolled by the Dolphins in their only loss that year.

I remember hoping the Dolphins would make the Super Bowl that year so we could see a rematch of that game, but they didn't hold up their end of the bargain and instead we all watched the Patriots get spanked like a red-headed stepchild.
