What I love most about this season.. It doesn't feel "magical."

Ahh, "magical season." In 2003 when the Panthers made the SB, that was a "magical season" I HATE that term. Loathe it.. See, when I hear magical season.. I think of Cinderalla, I think of a team that should be down and out, below average and they have their 15 minutes of fame until the clock strikes midnight and the magic ends..

Infact, I find it offensive when people say we are having a magical season. To me magical season means a team doesn't really deserve to be in the winning position they are but the storyline is good and it's all just magical..

No! This isn't a magical season.. This isnt 2003 or hell 2012 where we are a over achieving team in the midst of a "magical season". No this is a legit season of a legit good team that is built to be a dynasty for the foreseeable future. This isn't a magical season.. This is a REAL season.

Magic is slight of hand, as in the read option.

Magic is illusion as in play action.

Magic is misdirection as in QB scrambles.

Magic is making the impossible real as in the Panthers going undefeated.  

I don't think magical and legit have to be mutually exclusive.

I'm ok with magical. #keeppounding

Right, right, right, not magical because 12-0 happens every year. 

Oh that's right, we're ONE of NINE teams in the history of the NFL to achieve this feat!

To do it period is a feat in and of itself, to do it without your best WR ever taking a snap is in fact magical

IDGAF what anybody's got to say about it either

    • It can happen but it’s nothing like the NBA. One player doesn’t make the difference in the NFL that one player can in the NBA. Also, there are just not the same amount of trades and even opportunities. Because the NFL isn’t just one stud away, you don’t get a lot of opportunities like Miami did with Tua or the Jets did with Zach Wilson. Both teams got multiple 1sts for players they traded (Jets had 5 1sts in 2021-2022 and Miami had 5 1sts in 2020-2021) and both got top 5 picks to select a QB. They both made some good and bad picks but Miami turned Tua into multiple playoff appearances even though Tua isn’t elite. Wilson was just so bad that the Jets still sucked. We had our opportunity in 2022 where we would have had 6 1sts and 4 2nds in 2023-2025 and probably had a top 5 pick in 2023 or 2024 for a QB without trading up. Unfortunately, Fitterer didn’t have the foresight to realize a full rebuild was necessary and when a team offers you 2 1sts and a 2nd for a non-QB like Tunsil and Burns, you take it. One thing I wish trades had in the NFL that they have in the NBA is protected picks. A moron like Fitterer could have a top 5 protected pick so his terrible GMing doesn’t accidentally give the Bears the #1 overall pick because the moron Fitterer incorrectly thought we were 1 player away from the playoffs.
    • Anyone that believes getting a couple late season wins to end the season at 4-13 while picking 9th in each round, other than 2-15 with the 1st pick in each round is not being realistic.  It happens nearly every other year, Jags gave the browns a insane package to move from 2nd to 5th. If not for late season pointless/everyone forgets late season wins the Panthers would have gotten that franchise changing package. Not to mention Panthers would have had Herbo and Sewell in other years, but nope. Do I need to bring up da bears??? The goal is long term winning in order to make the playoffs, one season to tank could spark it with a Burrow that's gets sacked 60 times on the way to a SB.  I want to win as bad as anyone, but the second the Panthers are eliminated from playoff contention, the ONLY solution is to lose the remaining games to gain a better chance to never do that again. No other answer. 
    • Looks like Dallas will be week 6..   It's likely going to be a late late late BYE week, ugh Last game of season @ tampa (warm-ish weather game, hopefully.  Well, not "cold", at least)
