I hate the Pats enough that for that game (and the Aints and Falcons games) I don't care who wins. Either way a team I hate gets a win and a team I hate loses. Well I guess it's different if one of the teams has a bad record or if one of our division rivals directly affects us (ideally it shouldn't if we just take care of our own business, but of course it happens and that's an exception) but this early in the season, I don't really care.

I like the fact that we’ve gotten by Buffalo and NE 2-0. NO lost to NE and Atlanta lost to Buffalo. Hopefully they continue to ruin the other teams records. 

The loss to the Aints hurts more than a Bills loss would have though. We need divisional wins.

Perhaps this thought would help clarify. The Bucs are losing to the Giants as of this post. If they lose today and the Pats beat them Thursday the Bucs will be buried at the bottom of the NFC South at 1-3.

That makes no sense. Atlanta is 3-1 like us. How could you possibly be OK with the Pats losing to them?

Also, FYI, the Pats already beat the Saints, otherwise the Saints would be 3-1 too.

I always root for our division opponents to lose, especially to an AFC team which cannot hurt us. If we were going for a wild card or a bye and the Saints were 6-9, then I would root for them to beat another NFC team that would help us get to the playoffs.

I hate Pats and division rivals equally. I want them all to lose every game they play. But when they play each other, barring an unlikely tie, somebody's gotta win and I tend to not really care which it is. I did say that it does depend on whether the game directly affects us in which case I'd pull for Pats, or if one team already has a terrible record where a win wouldn't help them but hurts the other team (in which case I root for the shittier team). Ultimately though the Panthers just need to take care of business. I don't want to have to rely on our division rivals losing for our situation to be better.

The Saints destroyed us. The Bills loss would have made us 2-2. That said, the past is already in the record book, we are talking about the future and I am rooting for every AFC East team against our division opponents.

I know we got destroyed by the Aints, you were bringing up how you were glad we got by the Bills and I was just responding by saying if we had to lose one of our first 4 games I'd rather it be against the Bills than Aints, but yes ultimately it is what it is.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
