Quote

“It’s very gratifying,” Davis said of the most successful regular season in team history. “But it means nothing if we can’t win in the playoffs.”

 

Quote

“It’s a great feeling to be 15-1, something that I’ve never been in my career and anybody in this locker room hasn’t been 15-1. It’s good to share that with our brothers, with each other,” Davis said. “At the same time we know we can’t lose sight of what we’re trying to accomplish, and that’s ultimately to win the Super Bowl.”

 

Chris McClain is debating whether or not fans should feel this way on WFNZ.

Can't argue with Davis. It's been a heck of a ride so far, but to get knocked out before reaching the big dance? That'd be like the car breaking down 50 miles away from Disney World. At this point, getting knocked out of the playoffs early would be remembered more than going 15-1. It'd hurt bad.

I feel like that is how you want the players to feel and how they should feel.

I dont expect us to lose, but if we do, as a fan, it shouldn't take away what has been an extraordinary season.

We all want the Super Bowl.  That is the goal.  But I am also not one of those fans that says "If we don't win the Super Bowl this season was a failure"

I'll say this...

If, God forbid, we lose in the playoffs (especially in that first game) this place is going to see a meltdown of epic proportions with people ready to bench/cut/fire everybody from the owner on down.

I really don't want to see that.

I'm not sure I'd even look at the Huddle for a week...

 

 

 

...at least.

Super Bowl, or 15-1 means nothing.  Ask the Patriots how 18-1 feels from 2007.  

That's a little different. They were headed for immortality and were an Asante Samuel dropped pick and David Tyree helmet catch away from pulling it off.

More appropriate would be that 15-1 Packers squad that ended up losing to a red hot wild card Giants team in the divisional round.

Look, honestly, right now, being 15-1 is bitchin. Most teams haven't ever had a record that good. But the ultimate goal is to win in February. Once the Panthers do that, we can look back at a beautiful season and jack off to that regular season record as much as possible. I know I'm certainly gonna.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
