Not at all. That sting has been replaced by watching my Tarheel's lose in the most depressing way possible.

Try being a Sooners fan.  First the College Football Playoff ass raping, then the Panthers completely poo the bed, then my Sooners lose in the Final Four and get their asses handed to them.

I got you guys beat.  FSkNXK6.gif

Nah. Those losing seasons, or those one and done in the playoffs, those leave a lasting feeling of disappointment.

SB50 was the Peyton Manning Career Achievement Award night and nothing was going to change that. The refs were working it, the announcers were and apparently Lady Luck herself was wearing a Broncos jersey that night. It sucked but I shrugged it off in a week or so and looked back on what had been a danged magical season.

Now, I'm just looking forward to 2016. There's a chance for us to improve over last year, just two more wins and we'd do it.

'03 still stings.

This one feels like a kick in the gut every waking moment.

I can't speak about that team as much because I was a STL Rams then, but no one outside of Carolina saw them coming and that SB was competitive. No shame in losing to that Patriots team. This one, however,  will linger forever. Much like how the '85 World Series still lingers with me and other Cardinal fans who are old enough to remember it.

Most difficult sports loss of my life. As I was driving down Providence Rd after I left a Super Bowl party early with about 5 minutes left, I was literally screaming in my car. Like blood-curdling shrieking and pounding my steering wheel. No tears, just rage. Lots of profanity. I had to leave the party early for fear I was going to punch someone. I didn't sleep for hours.

This loss will stay with me until we win a Super Bowl. It's just brutal that Charlotte has still never won a championship in a major sport. This is the first time I've written about this since the game and I'm wishing I hadn't. Making me mad again.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
