So excited.  Such a great story.  Love the connection our teams have formed.

Hope this inspires the Panthers afresh to go out and win the Super Bowl this year.  Obviously we won't be the underdog or a Cinderella story like LC this season, but still... to overcome the Super Bowl hangover and become the first team since the 72 dolphins to win the SB after losing the previous year... that would be something truly special!  (Even better if we go 19-0 and break the 'Phins perfect season record in the process!)

This is literally like the Browns winning the SuperBowl this year...

Except for people are actually happy for Leicester City.

The crazy thing is that the Browns are 200-1 to win the SB this year. Leicester was 5000-1 to win the Premier League.

I actually think the odds of the Browns winning would be way better. The way the Premier league works this is an incredible achievement for a team that was widely perceived as a punching bag for the rest of the league at the outset of the season.

Yeh but I don't really think 5000-1 was (obviously in hindsight) as out of reach as 200-1 is for the Browns winning the Superbowl. Given in the last 20 years teams like Leeds, Blackburn and Newcastle have all got to touching distance of the premier league title, and I can't remember the last time there was a completely shocking superbowl winner, I think those odds are too far apart.

I would put the chances of the Browns winning the superbowl closer to 2000-1 if the odds on Leicester at the beginning of the season was 5000-1.

Leicester barely avoided getting relegated last year and fired their manager before the season even started. Historically the BPL is one of the least competitive leagues. Prior to this year, Chelsea, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Arsenal had won every league title dating back to 1994.

I would agree that the Browns chances of winning the SB should be worse than 200-1, but Leicester City winning the title is the greatest (no exaggeration) underdog story in history.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
