It's still surreal

[TheRumGone]

Yeah. Watching us destroy the cardinals was one of the most surreal experiences. after all the years of "we should win, but we're the panthers" but then we won, and we won so convincingly that it looked like we were one of the greatest teams ever assembled.

 

i mean, I joined this site in 2012 after stumbling upon it looking for an article that escapes me now. Obviously my knowledge about football expanded immensely in a short period of time and I found myself reading and studying Panther football more than I ever had before so that I could provide my own insight and feel like i was returning the favor for posters who had enlightened me on some things.

these past several years of arguing, debating the direction of this team and what we thought was the ceiling for not only individual players but collectively what our ceiling was for a team and what we could accomplish IF ONLY

that IF ONLY is now a reality and it just doesn't seem real. It was like I had envisioned cam, luke, td, Olsen and Kalil on that stage and then I had to pinch myself that what I was seeing was actually happening and I couldn't even speak all I could do was smile.

What? I mean, I like that she wants to know more about football and all that. But...I am just not sure that after all these years I suddenly have to share my Panthers with her. She already owns everything else in my life. Don't I deserve just one thing for myself?

well, then, as far as the OP goes

i know that feel Mr. Scot

There's actually so much Panther coverage right now, I'm struggling to keep up.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

i tend to avoid espn and sports media in general so im just all "so about that probowl!", as sort of a natural reaction to every other panthers season

ill tune in for media day shenanigans next week though. when is that?

[Mr. Scot]

If I remember correctly, media day is Tuesday of Super Bowl week.

Zod might want to upgrade the servers that day.

Just like the Panthers the servers have been kicking butt this season.

The wife and I have been together for almost 25 years. For 24 and 1/2 of those years I had to fight to watch sports. Now, if something comes on talking about the Panthers, she lets me watch it. I don't have to go to my room and watch it, she watches it with me. She has even taken it upon herself to learn some football.

 

Not sure how I truly feel about this. Sports used to be my thing. Not sure I like sharing the Panthers. I mean, I love her to death. But part of me kinda want my Panthers back. Does that make me a bad guy?

Ahh the Panthers.....bringing sports hating wife's and football loving husband's together in married bliss (;

This year media day will be on Monday, not Tuesday.

Super Bowl Media Day has taken on a shift this year, and is referred to as Super Bowl Opening Night this year. That will take place on Feb. 1 at the SAP Center in San Jose. Fans will be able to see players and coaches address the media and plenty more.

The whole season has been surreal

[Devil Doc]

So I'm guessing if Media Day is Monday... Then the Players must fly in Sunday night? Were do they practice for the rest of the week? I don't want no Spygate Going on again...

Yeah, it's like we're living some alternate reality. I empathize with the Earth 616 version of me.That guy sighed a few weeks back and said, "Well, KB will be back next year," and mentally moved on to the off-season. 

During the Cards game a buddy texted me about how none of teams he follows have ever been dominant like this, and it's a weird feeling to be almost bored during our blowouts of the best teams in the league.

i still don't think it's hit me. i'm not even viscerally excited. it's an abstraction.

I feel like it has just been too easy. In both games there was so much domination that it just feels like a regular season games. 31-0 at half time vs SEATTLE. 34 point win vs AZ (who was considered to be the most balance, and possibly the best team) in the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game. I think if the games were closer it would be more believable......
