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.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
