Does being undefeated make you more nervous?

Makes me nervous but I don't think it makes me anymore nervous than if we were 8-1 and a loss took away our 1 seed cushion or 7-2 and a loss too us out of the 1 seed or 6-3 and a loss took us out of the division lead or 5-4 and a loss took us out of the WC or 4-5 and a loss reduced our playoff chances significantly or 3-6 and a loss nearly eliminated our playoff chances. At 2-7 I'd be numb to losing so I might be nervous that we'd win and ruin our draft position.

I should maybe look into seasonal anti-anxiety medication now that I think about it.

The Pats are favored/expected to approach the undefeated mark. That would make me nervous as a fan since it is somewhat expected.

The Panthers aiming for being undefeated is different because they are being doubted not only to be undefeated, but to be the best in their conference. In this case the undefeated goal is huge motivation to keep that disrespect motivation going for the remainder of the season and into the playoffs.

I would actually be nervous for a let down if the undefeated motivation was off the table. Did you see the players eyes in Seattle when they realized they were still undefeated with that TD throw to Olsen?

The Panthers could be 16-0 going into the playoffs and I can see several people still saying that the Packers, Vikings, Cardinals, and even Seahawks have a better chance at getting to the Super Bowl if those teams are in playoffs.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
