Last time Panthers in NFCCG

Recommended Posts

The following teams gave the Panthers their exit in the playoffs.

Packers in 1996. NFCCG - Kerry Collins did not pose a threat to score.

Patriots in 2003. SB - John Kasay kick out of bounds. (worst)

Seahawks in 2005. NFCCG - All RBs injured going into the game and Smitty tripled all game.

Cardinals in 2008. Divisional - Delhomme interception melt down. End of an era. (runner up)

49ers in 2013. Divisional - Goal line offense and defense could not seal the deal.

Seahawks in 2014. Divisional - handing the Seahawks 14 points on turnovers.

Goes through Carolina in 2015 no matter how much anyone wants to ignore a 16-1 team that scores 30+ points a game on any opponent.

Get ready for a decade of Panthers' dominance!

In an article at NFL.com, I just read something that surprised me:

Quote

The roster's gone through a ton of turnover as GM Dave Gettleman cleaned up the salary cap -- just seven guys that started in the Divisional Round two years ago against San Francisco remain here

 

Here's the list of 2013 playoff starters.  NFL.com is wrong about the numbers. 9 starters remain.  (Not counting Frank who is on IR )  But still.....

Pretty amazing what DG and the Panthers have done.  Win back-to-back-to-back division championships while totally rebuilding the Oline, the WRs and the secondary.  Incredible

    • The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.
    • These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.
    • Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
