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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
