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.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
