I wish the panthers were in the AFC east

It’s a crime the patriots are in that terrible division, since Cam has been here we are 7-1 vs the AFC east.

 

Every year its the same thing, the patriots get home field advantage, they play the weakest lowest seed available (after playing a wild card game) get another home game (get the refs home cooking) and waltz into the SB. Usually against an nfc team that’s been through the gauntlet

Stop whining, wish for a competent FO 

not to win the super bowl, but to win back to back seasons at least. That’s the level we’re on.

This^^^.  Just extended a HC that has failed to achieve back to back winning seasons after 7 years on the job.

Until there is ownership in place that demands a higher standard of perfomance this franchise will continue to wallow in mediocrity.

I love these excuses... pats play their schedule every year. For a few years, our division was absolutely garbage too, and we couldn't even dominate it.

 

 

When we were 15-1 people said we didn't play anybody... But we played everybody on our schedule, then when it mattered, we beat the absolute poo out of the 2 teams people said would destroy us. Every week is a challenge, you never know who is going to show up and who isn't. I'm a firm believer we should have beat the poo out of the Eagles this year, but Cam didbt show up. We almost lost to the fuging Jets, barely beat the bills because they dropped a pass at the end....... Come on. Can't give the pats poo for beating their division and then struggle against it ourselves, open your eyes

would have happen by now if we played in that pathetic division 

After seven years on the job, it is painfully obvious that Ron Rivera lacks the killer instinct and winning mentality required of a coach who aspires to achieve anything close to a Bill Belichick level of success.

Lots of talented Panthers players being held back by Ron and his unremarkable staff.

Panthers can't even beat the lowly Bears. 

Ron treated the second game against the Saints as just another game, even though it had critical playoff implications. 

Coaching staff required Cam's last second heroics to avoid losing to the division cellar dweller, Tampa Bay Bucs.  Again with playoff implications in the balance.

Bottom Line:  Ron and company are simply incapable of preparing for games at the level of Bill Belichick's coaching staff. 

Ron would find a way to lose even in the AFC East. 

To achieve the Patriot's level of greatness you have to beat the teams on your schedule and in the playoffs every year.  Ron and Company have only shown the ability to do that (at best) every other year.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
