Next week is gonna be nuts

This week was just a warm up. The real Super Bowl hype starts on Monday.

No more off Sundays between then and the game. The feelings are just gonna keep building and building right up until game time. Fans who are already having a tough time concentrating now may as well just phone it in next week.

And the Panthers are gonna be everywhere on your TV screens. You'll see story after story after story after story. Come game time, you may know as much about these guys as their mamas do.

It was already surreal. By Saturday night, I'm not even sure what'll be the right word to describe it. The word may not even exist.

You ready for it?

NFL Network was just getting on its feet the last time we went to the Super Bowl. We were actually part of the first Super Bowl of the NFL Network era.

Now for the next seven days it's essentially the Panthers-Broncos channel.

Has anyone else noticed the coverage is definitely shifted toward the Panthers?

I don't get NFL Network at work but ESPN is 80/20 easy.

I don't remember the 2 week wait for the sb in 2003 well at all.  I remember waiting until 6:30 on game day and thinking the game would never start.

Is there anything memorable from the week leading up to that game for you?

Btw, I was curious today and looked up to find we were 7 point dogs to new england in sb 38.

Panthers are far more interesting than the Broncos.  could you imagine the snooze fest it would be had it been the cards in the superbowl?

People are just now really sering the Panthers and realizing just how cool a team this is. There will be a good few loud mouth and opiniated detractors,  but for the most part I see this as just the beginning of the Panthers takeover of the nation.

The more I think about it I don't really see the Seahawks losing a lot of their bandwagon, I just see two large bandwagons emerging and taking over, us and the Seahawks. People are going to be either team seahawks or team Panther. The AFC is just going to be that other group that sends teams to play either the Panthers or Seahawks in the superbowl (which will usually mean us).

Excellent post.  I keep thinking about how crazy it was in 2003.  It will be that intense X 5.

Who are these unknowns? was the question for the weeks. The Pats totally respected us, rest of nation not so much, they just didn't know us. I remember lots & lots of maps, where was Charlotte? The favorite flavor was Cajun, the new medical term was Cardiac.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
