Anyone else going to watch the SB alone?

Nope.  We have some friends with whom we rotate the Super Bowl party annually.  It was our turn last year.  Just after the NFCCG ended Sunday night, I got an email from one of the other friends inviting us to their house for this year's party.  

 

I anticipate a joyous evening.

Might be the first time I watch a SB by myself, since I watch every panthers game alone I don't want to jinx it. Plus if god forbid the panthers lose I'm gonna have a total meltdown, I don't want nobody around.

Blasphemy! They shall not lose! I will probably watch alone so that I can freak the fug out when they do something amazing without the distractions of others who are just there for the commercials and hot wings. Then rewind, and freak out again!

I will.  Reason?  I do not want to entertain or pretend to be interested in what some fair-weather, wagon-loading, "fan" who has no friggin idea of the hard draft research, emotional sacrifice, and professional compromise I have put into that moment--the pinnacle of fandom, an event that rivals only the births of my 2 boys (now that they are Panther fans) and my marriage to my wonderful wife.  Nobody is going to skip into my moment with brand-spanking new Panther gear from Penney's because it is the next social thingy in town and pretend to sit as my equal on a sofa and make ill-timed comments about players whose name and complete professional biography he does not know.   If you are there for the food and the commercials, you are going to my hell and I will gladly send you there if you as much as think about depriving me of one second of this climactic moment by breathing the same air I am breathing--air only intended for those who are true and blue Panther fans and have been since before October----1995.

When I dont go to games I have a process to manage my nerves and it includes me watching the game alone on my screened in porch with a case of beer and a some cigars.  Only once was that process interrupted and it was the Atlanta game.

I wont break precedent or risk throwing off the mojo.  I plan to watch this game the same way I have watched every game.

I'm really debating this. I've been hosting a party for 16 years but I'm not sure I want to this year. My three sons will be watching with me but no one else I invite is a Panthers fan and I'm not sure I want the distractions this year. Plus, my brother and I have Skyped during every game but two over the last two years, not sure he will want to if I have a house full of people. Dilemma.

    • 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.
