Super Bowl loss stil sting for others?

Recommended Posts

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!

YES!  Driving me nuts.  I hate that I keep seeing that score!

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.

    • I was thinking about what you said in your post and my whole draft philosophy is kind of the opposite. I believe that every prospect is a gamble and a risk so if you're going to gamble then you gamble on upside and potential. If Bryce Young fails it won't be because he wasn't pro-ready or he isn't accurate or any of those things that you will worry about with Willis. It will be because he lacks the parameters and traits that are needed to do the job what good is it to know what to do if you don't have the arm strength to get it there the speed to capitalize on what you see I'd rather gamble on the guy that already has those assets at the ready available to him then a guy who looks the part but you're not sure he can get it done with the ability that he has. I think you're doing yourself a disservice if you're only looking at wins losses or production and saying hey he won or through 50 touchdowns you can't factor in like some of that production might have come from his teammates or weapons around them you got to look at the whole big picture and in calculating all of that I put a higher value on athletic traits and do you have the things I need you to do to be able to do the job and the rest of it I think is coaching out gamble on the long-term upside versus who I think is pro-ready right now
    • For what it’s worth there’s rumors Pete carrol is going to be fired. Wonder if he retires or if canales can get him on the staff somehow. 
    • to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day
