Yeah, looks like we may need some new traditions around here....

As Ron keeps reminding the team, last year is over.  This is a new season.

I believe that these were almost SCP's exact words.

 

Leave my man alone.  He's probably exhausted from traveling around the country giving Saints and Cowboys fans poo.

Last we heard from him, was the picture of him "catchin" ( fishing means he might not catch,, and he was catchin )

I think he's still down in his ole stomping grounds, or waters, of Wrightsville Bch.

Indian Summer here is infectious. Laid back, swelling beer, margaritas , rum, eating what you catch ( shrimp and crabs are actually easier than flounders or grouper )

Listening to some Buffet (Parrot Heads )

He'll be back when the time is right.

Sometime back around 2006-2007, I decided to try my hand at game previews here.  A few days before each game I would write a long preview, usually long enough that the Offense and Defense had to be split into two posts.  It was a decent idea, I thought, and it was actually pretty well received (although I was never in SCP's category).  And that became a problem, because while I can write, I'm not a writer.  

By the end of the season, coming up with new and funny things to say made writing the preview a chore and not something I was doing to contribute to the community here.  I felt pressure from self-imposed deadlines, and found myself a few times just sitting there, wondering what I would say.  I was actually glad when the season ended.  The next year found me frequenting the Huddle a lot less, because it just wasn't fun for me any more.

I'm not saying SCP is feeling the same way, but he did some amazing stuff last year and that's how it should be considered--as part of last year.  PhillyB is the same way--awesome previews LAST YEAR.  This year we need to let new guys emerge and cut the old ones some slack.  

BTW, whoever did the Broncos one--nice work.  I loved the pictures, and hope you keep it up.  But please never feel like you have to, ok?

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
