I know a lot of people will hate me for bringing this back up but I was wondering if the Super Bowl loss still stings for you. Everytime I think about football now I always get an empty feeling in my stomach as well as the sadness of being that close to a Super Bowl championship having the kind of year that we had made the loss even more depressing. Now I know that next year is Super Bowl 51 in Houston. I'm pretty certain ya'll remember that awful Febuary day in Houston 12 years ago. This year is redemption year for the Cardiac Cats. For Super Bowl 38 and 50. It's destiny with Sam Mills and Jerry Richardson wearing 51 in their playing years. The loss against The Broncos stings. But like the KC Royals twitter stated after the loss. "Redemtion makes it that much sweeter." @'ing the Carolina twitter. That is what will happen. 

This year is our year. Carolina revenge tour starts September 2016 folks. Get ready for another fantastic year of Panthers football

Abso-fuggin-lutely it does.  I doubt I will ever watch that game again.  Only the draft really has me plugged back into the NFL right now.

But the Broncos serve as a good example of a staying the course after a stinging defeat in the big game. Their SB loss to SEA was an epic blowout, way worse than ours to DEN this year.  I am sure their fans were beyond devastated, probably the team was as well, they stuck with it and prevailed.  I fully believe in the ability of our GM to continue to build up our team and the talent on the team will get us back there with a different ending to the game.

You know how when you get kicked in the nuts there's that initial shock and it hurts?  That was the first couple of weeks.  Then there's a brief period where it doesn't hurt and you think you're going to be ok? That was March for me.  Then, it's April, and you're dicking around on your phone and you go to your ESPN app to check the score to some other games and there it is....taunting you like some kind of elementary school bully, on the bottom of your screen, 24-10 DEN, then all of the sudden there's this overwhelming aching deep within your stomach and you want to vomit?  Yeah that's how I feel. Sure it'll fade in time but I'll always remember getting kicked in the nuts.

Does it still hurt, yea.  Does it sting, not really.  I can now talk about it without getting depressed, mad, sad, angry, etc.  It stung the first few weeks afterwards, but you have to move on at some point.  It wasn't our time.  We'll be back and the two lost super bowls will make it that much sweeter.  On to the draft, baby!

It'll be a very long time before I get over that loss. Combined with UNC losing in the most dumb fashion possible, I am in sports numbness, where I try to find reasons to get excited about football. I WISH i could just forget it like a lot of people have, but it'll be really hard for me to.

It is still really depressing because I do feel we had the talent to win and there's very much the "Coulda Shoulda" feeling, that this is one we SHOULD have won.  

As Ron Rivera's Bears teams show, you don't always get back even with stellar talent.  We SHOULD get back, but there are no guarantees in life or football.  I *REALLY* want us to get a SB win soon so as to dim the regrets of the two we've lost...

It does help though that the 17-2 season was SO much fun, so memorable, so unexpected in many respects.  Having such incredible team chemistry... watching J-No ball out, having Peanut & Jared as Panthers, Cam being league MVP, 10 pro-bowlers... I've been reminding myself of all these things and the sting is definitely lessening.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
