Malaise leaves Panthers baffled

"We've just got to get on a streak," said running back DeAngelo Williams. "We are not even scratching the surface right now.

"We've got to revert back to last year's film and do what we did last year."

Uh, yeah that would be great. Let's see if the NFL will let us get KC, Oakland, Detroit, Green Bay, and Denver back on the schedule right quick. Then maybe we can somewhat resemble last year's team.

"Last year doesn't count," said Smith. "It never counts. If last year counted, there would be a lot of good things going on right now."

This.

Other than Pep binding our financial hands, the FO was pretty much okay with the fact they were bringing back all but one starter. If you aren't moving forward, you're going backward, because as Smith meant...you can't stand still.

You can't help but feel bad for the guys that are working their asses off out there... Steve comes to mind here...

Much of the top talent is entering or at their peak... and that is a short window to win a super bowl ring or to go to the pro-bowl.. whatever... How many will feel confident returning to the same team next year? We have problems. Many... many problems.

I just hope most of the guys that deserve a super bowl ring will somehow have the opportunity to earn one some day.

Steve Smith is working too hard. You can't win games with just Steve Smith anymore.

    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.        
    • My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
