Will you be watching the game Thursday?

Many of us prioritize our time around watching the Panthers. It's football season right? Only 16 chances to watch our favorite team go at it for a short sliver of the year. 

I haven't missed watching a Panthers game by choice since 2001. Obviously I've missed games for situations out of my control (work, travel, etc). Even in 2010 I tuned in for all the games I could. That year was easier to understand. I knew the Panthers were bad. It was comical and I knew better days were coming.

I don't feel that way this year. This year is hard to understand. I could rail off a list of reasons, but something is seriously wrong with the team this season. This is a team that went 15-1, featured the MVP of the league, and appeared in the Super Bowl just a season ago. I am struggling to watch what was such an exciting team unravel into an inexplicable mess. So this Thursday, I will not be watching the game.

I honestly don't care if the team wins or loses at this point. If they win, great. I'm not any more or less of a fan. If they lose, I've saved myself the time and emotional turmoil of watching another embarrassing Panthers loss.

Call me fair-weather or what you will, but I need a break from this team. I'll probably watch the following week. Will you be watching this Thursday?

Not only will I be there, I'm getting up at 3am to catch an early flight home from Vegas so I can land in time to run to the house, grab my jersey and head to BofA to sit in my seat. You're god damn right I'll be watching. Keep Pounding bitches. Bad Panther football is better than no Panther football. And we are 7 weeks away from no Panthers football until August of 2017.

Honestly, I might take a break. It's one thing to watch as we lose when expectations are relatively low. But, it's another thing to watch your team repeatedly snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when we were widely considered to be a top contender going into the season.

At some point, you gotta take a break or resign yourself to apathy and fug apathy.

That's where I'm at man. I've passed up things to watch Panthers football many times over the years. I felt I was rewarded for that last year. Now we're right back to the same old Panthers, but I'm not as hopeful we will see the reward any time soon again.

I'll definitely watch.  Got $50ish I think in my FanDuel account...and I imagine I will be forced to play a lot of Saints.  My two best weeks were when I went all in on Atlanta and NO vs us. Every legit pass attack is a must play.  Probably will use Cam too though.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By csx · Posted

      I just dont get the worry over losing a practice squad player that just went undrafted. Everyone just made their selections. The chances of a team wanting to sign him to an active roster after not selecting him is very low.  If that interested they would have taken him late to evaluate in person. As far as I can tell two qbs were signed off another teams practice squad last season and they were both going in to their 5th season.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By frankw · Posted

      I enjoyed reading this thread and the usual banter that follows. The only silver lining I can identify right now is we do actually have a couple of young QB's behind him and we do have a nice roster on both sides of the ball built around the most important position. So if the team overall shows some promise but we still falter largely due to a lack of consistent passing output (again) hopefully the decision makers can be free to make the best decision for the team going forward after the conclusion of this upcoming season.

      I don't really follow the team anymore due to a variety of reasons and consequently have largely stopped posting but I agree that this is a lovely website and community. This forum probably kept me around for years longer than I would've stuck otherwise because of how difficult it was to stop checking multiple times a day. Especially appreciate how lax the moderation tends to be compared to a lot of places, the crew here does a great job. Out of curiousity I decided to try making a new account (solely for testing purposes) to see what exactly is wrong with the sign up process. The issue seems to be that it never sends you an account verification email, thus making it impossible to complete registration. This is likely something to do with the email server upstream, hope it gets fixed. Also, lol
