The possibility still exists....

...that the season could be turned around and the Panthers could finish with a winning record, maybe even make the playoffs. That possibility will still exist even if the Panthers lose on Monday night.

And if that happens, it'd be no surprise to see John Fox get a contract extension.

Being brutally honest, that would be a worst-case scenario for the folks who want wholesale changes in the roster and the coaching staff. Hate to tell you guys, but it is still conceivable that things could get turned around.

On a related note, part of me wonders whether or not it might be better for the team to lose - perhaps even in embarrassing fashion - to the Cowboys on Monday. If that happened, they'd have two weeks to sit and stew over that loss. And hey, who knows? Perhaps 0-3 with two embarrassing losses in the rear view mirror would be a sufficient kick in the teeth to get some fire back in these guys' stomachs.

So yeah, I'm okay with losing a game if it makes us better overall.

Losing a season? I can't bring myself to get behind that.

i think any way you look at it, the bye week couldn't possibly have come at a better time. we're going to need it, and need it bad. If we manage a win, the bye will serve to let us get some guys healthy, and be extra prepared for washington, and - hopefully - be 2-2 and right back in it.

if we lose (god forbid) then the bye will be a time for major, major adjustments, and the washington game will show if there really is any hope left for the season. (i'm not sure i buy the "stew over the loss" thing though. that was the oft-quoted chip on the panthers' proverbial shoulders following the cards playoff loss, but we know how that turned out.)

Good flip-side on my take, and absolutely correct.

The only metaphor for tomorrow night that I can think of is Gettysburg, when General Lee had General Pickett's troops (Lead by North Carolina troops) charge headlong into Union artillery (ouch!). I hope we have better results tomorrrow night.:eek:

in that case let's hope all of meade's bullets get intercepted :D

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      PFF made it up just to make Bryce look better. Crazy right? Also I can’t believe you said he played “better.” Careful and you might let a compliment slip…. (kidding)

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By Icege · Posted

      re: PFF having Bryce Young as the best deep passer in week 12 Link to original article Excerpt from the article: PFF's passing-by-depth report for week 12 NFL Pro's Film Room Play 1 - Completion to XL running a deep crosser despite multiple penalties by KC on the play Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Play 2 - Completion to JT with the pass rush closing in Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Play 3 - Hits David Moore in the hands while taking a shot from new Panthers' DL Ter'shawn Wharton for what would've been a TD Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Play 4 - This is the first play that folks could attempt to pin on Bryce if not for one detail... this was 3rd & 10 with 9sec left in Q2 (as seen in the screenshot showing the list of plays). Bryce had to air mail it out of the back of the end zone so that there was still time to attempt a field goal before halftime. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-03.mp4 Play 5 - Bryce places this ball where only David Moore can get it (spoiler: Moore does not get it). I've included the other angle as I was confident that some would try to hyperfocus on this play as why PFF was wrong in their evaluation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-04.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-05.mp4 Play 6 - Sideline shot to XL but he drops it. Again, both angles included to avoid bad faith misrepresentation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-06.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-07.mp4
