Panther Fans Will Get Their Team Back Now

So now all the hype is gone, the vast majority of people cannot remember who lost the Super Bowl a year later, Carolina's weaknesses were exposed and, as expected, Cam is getting blasted in the media again. 

The bandwagon is emptying, the part time fans are leaving and the draft is three and a half months away. Carolina Panther fans who have been around for a couple decades will have their team back now. As of late last night, the Carolina Panthers are just another NFL football team quickly forgotten in the aftermath of the game and Peyton Manning's soon-to-be-announced retirement. They will once again be that small-market team with a lifetime W-L record of around .500 with a mercurial and moody QB who happens to be black (but that's not the reason he is treated differently than his peers by the press), a pretty damn good defense and a relatively small following of loyal fans. 

The Panthers lost the game, but Panther fans got their team back- the team that got hijacked about 12 weeks ago when someone noticed they were winning.

A lot of our false starts yesterday were because it was literally a Denver home game  yesterday. Numerous times they even played the Bronco sneering which I found to be very odd. We were WAY outnumbered in that stadium yesterday and it was a sad sight to see

Agreed, that was a quasi-home game for the Broncos.  A lot of the false starts were caused by our O-line having their lunch handed to them though.

don't worry, they'll be back and you all should hope they are.

 

they show up win a team is winning. it's 100% guaranteed to happen.

 

if it is happening, then that means things are going incredibly well. it's a sign we should all be hoping for.

and it's also the way long term fans are made. we all started out as bandwagon fans (unless you are one of the few generational fans). most bandwagon fans will leave, but like i've said many times before, there will be some that get hooked. we picked up a lot when we went went to the superbowl before. we picked up more when we drafted cam. and we'll pick up more after this season, despite the loss.

i will say it was a whole lot nicer having more people cheering for us and giving us positive attention, even if it was/is going to be short lived.

Can yall get off of the 'cam is treated bad because he is black" bullshit?

The media gave him the MVP... quit crying about stupid poo.

I didn't say he was treated "badly." I said he was treated differently. And I'll stop making that point as soon as you can legitimately explain why you think he isn't treated differently.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
