Win or lose, lets appreciate today

Along with many of you, I've been a Panthers fan for a long time. I've endured the highest highs, like almost beating the Patriots in the Superbowl and a 15-1 season with another Superbowl appearance, and the lowest lows, a 1-15 season and 2-14 season with trash rookie QBs. Even the middle can be miserable...all the years of the Panthers finishing 7-9 or 8-8 and just narrowly missing the playoffs.

2017 is a good season and one to cherish. I got to witness in person, the Panthers beating the Superbowl Champion Patriots in their house, at field level, on the visitor side this season. One of my favorite moments as a football fan for sure. The Panthers had some wild swings this year, but here we are in the playoffs, against a division opponent. Logic says the Panthers lose today, because the Saints just seem to have the Panthers number this season. But that's why they play the game, anything can happen on any given Sunday.

Win or lose, it's been a great season. Next year might be good, or it might be bad. So let's just enjoy today and hope for the best. Keep pounding.

Next year is an even number year, so the odds say "bad" 

Really hope we can finally break that trend 

Even more reason to really appreciate the game today. The Panthers had some really lucky breaks this year to get to this point. The pendulum might swing back next year, who knows. Let's hope that luck continues today at the very least.

Agreed. We were spoiled by 2015. When we kick off we will be one of nine teams still alive for a shot at a Lombardi. There are 23 other fan bases that would kill to be playing in our game today. 

Oh reason. You just earned yourself a brand new pair of cargo shorts.

Next year Cam will still have the same OL and WR issues he has in today's game. Next year, Stewart will be yet another year older, and CMC will still be used incorrectly. Next year, the defense will have all aged another year as well, and Safety will still be a weak spot. 

Next year, RR is still the head coach, who will not adjust in game, will misuse timeouts, will not prepare the team well enough for a smart opponent, and will still pull together between 6-12 wins so the treadmill will keep spinning, while we waste the prime of 2 generational players' careers. 

Sad really, but true.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
