Hasn't this thread been started every week since the loss at ATL?

The difference is my glossy articulate insight on the Panthers sets apart the joke threads from the ones that not only offer competent information on the Panthers, but makes you re-evaluate your life as well.

I mean, if you can't beat poo teams...it means you are one. A loss here or next week and they are playing for pride and future jobs from that point on.

reality is the season is already over....

put if we want to be optmistic they need to get to 3-3

What is your definition of season over? My stance is 1-3 teams who struggle to beat 1 of the 5 worst teams in the NFL do not win Superbowl's.

Looks like last year the Steelers struggled to beat the Browns.

I'm not saying that the Panthers are going to win the big one, but it should be known that Superbowl teams don't always have pretty wins against the worst teams in the NFL

The Steelers led the entire game and they did not loose 3 games in a row prior to struggling against the Browns. Nice try though.

the fact that someone posted this question already means it is. if one more loss can cause "fans" to totally shut it down then you may as well pack it in now and leave room for others.

at 0-15 i'll still be excited for next weeks games b/c with a young team you like to monitor how everyone is progressing. it gives you a reason to get excited when the playoffs are already out of the question.

The year we went to the superbowl we lost 3 games in a row at one point in that season. We just lost 3 in a row this season. The difference is we started out 6 and 0 the superbowl year, and our division wasn't that good. This year we started out 0 and 3 and our division is very good.

Now, every year since Fox has been here we have functioned about the same. We could beat any team in the league, but at the same time we could lose to any team in the league. When we went to the superbowl we weren't dominating teams, we were squeaking by and getting the win at the end. Last year when we finished 12 and 4 we didn't dominate but we would end up winning. Now there are some exceptions here and there but thats usually how it would happen.

In my opinion I beleive Jon Fox's best coaching job was the year we started off 1 and 7, then ended up finishing 7 and 9. The second half of that season we were pretty much on fire. It's the best I have ever seen the Panthers play. Steve Smith was on IR, Stephen Davis went down, and so did Foster. But it was Jake's best year by far. Peppers was also making spectacular plays left and right. We ended up losing to Atlanta on that controversial Mike Vick hydroplane into the endzone, and we lost to the Saints the very last game of the year to knock us out of playoff contention.

Now I don't know if we can make a run like that, but I can hope.

I got the feeling with how we came out on Sunday that the team may have packed it in already. Luckily for us the Redskins were terrible and are in the process of packing it in as well.

I heard something on the radio that Week 2 and Week 3 are the most important in the NFL season, in that at the beginning of the year, every team believes they have a chance to be a playoff team, but in Week 2 and Week 3, certain teams that have fallen to 0-3 or 1-2 will realize they're not very good, and most of the players on these teams will start just playing to cash their paychecks, without giving a lot of thought to W's and L's. I fear that we may become one of those teams (won't know until after the next couple of games) -- and I hope that I am completely wrong.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
