Have you accepted that the season is over yet?

Yesterday was officially it. Cam getting sacked on 4th down is a microcosm of 2016 in a nutshell. A giant letdown with hope in place and an opportunity. With literally everyone winning in the division, including Crab Legs beating the Seachickens. We play that same Seachicken team this week. There is a very good chance we finish 4-12, and with a top 5 pick, i'd let Stew go and get Dalvin Cook b/c he's worth the price of admission. I don't know how well tackles stack up in the draft, but knowing DAVE, he'll reach on another defensive tackle.

Just snakebit this year

I've realized the playoffs were out for a while.  I mean, I've hoped and lied to myself.  Deep down, I knew we were just not good enough this year.

I agree 100% with us being snakebit.  Last year, those plays came our way.  This year, when it was time to make a play, we didn't.  The ball was just inside the defenders fingers, the ball bounced a few inches the wrong way, the move was just short.  It's been an entire season of being close, but not close enough.

But, maybe we can finally experiment with the playbook now.  Bring in some young guys, loosen up, and just try some new stuff.  As fans, let's enjoy the games for what they are.  It's a heck of a lot better than not having a team!  By a mile!

I threw in the towel on this season after watching us lose to the Saints.. I got intrigued to come back until Kansas City happened.. I said we have to win against Oakland and Seattle for me to even give myself a glimmer of hope.. When we lost last night - it gave me a peace about the year.. I still support the team no matter what, but I won't be getting sad about a loss or happy about a win.. we are dun this season

No, not really. Are playoff hopes dead? Yes. But I still enjoy watching football and playing the role of spoiler. Sure as hell beats long months of zero football. 

Exactly.

I sometimes wonder how long some of these fans have been following the Panthers and sports in general. 

Dissapointing and mediocre seasons happen more times than not but there is ALWAYS something to cheer for and look forward to.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
