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.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
