Anyone remember 2003?

Yeah, that year the first time around that we went to the super bowl?

Regular season record? 11-5

a ton of gritty close wins

and being on the wrong end of an ass whopping in week 6 versus the titans.

Titans game was actually worse than this one tonight, because 1. we were at home, 2. we had a full week leading into it 3. the Panthers defense in 2003 was elite. Steve McNair and the Titans utterly destroyed us by dropping 37 points on that elite defense and we only scored 17 points... it was ugly.....

The point of this is, tonights game doesnt mean anything more than one thing. we lost tonight.  Dont make it out to be anything more or less than that. a single loss.

We lost 4 fumbles against Tennessee that day, and it wasn’t nearly as close at that score.

That game absolutely came to mind tonight. 

That 2003 game and the 2008 Arizona playoff debacle are the 2 that some to mind for me...

Not that we haven't had other bad losses, just the 2 easiest examples of bad losses when we were expecting something different.

At least like 2003, we still get a chance to get back off the mat next week...  we didn't have that chance for 9 months in 2008

Yeah that team had 500x the heart this team has and that defense was 500x the defense this team is.   It's not even close.

I dont know about the heart thing, I think after some of our close wins, this team has proven that, I'd just give my left nut to have that defense tho...

I don't think this defense is any less talented across the back 7, especially considering the rule changes and how it affects DB play...

But yeah, the Front 4 is light years less... crazy that 15 years later and Peppers still was our best D lineman tonight...

Seattle 2016 (the 'didn't wear a tie' game) was pretty much the same as tonight, even down to the head-scratching pick 6 at the start of the game. A few less points scored overall but the exact same type of on-field ass-whooping in front of a national primetime (SNF) audience.

no bro, 2008 was way worse, this one may be stinging a little bit still right now, but 2008 was yikes. 2015 super bowl felt bad, but at the same time, I felt like we had a very good core to the team and would be back, just didnt realize the NFL would let opposing teams have an open season on Cam that year, and that gettleman was dumb enough to let Norman walk. still pissed about both those thing, and I dont think I will ever forgive them for that either.

05' Seattle was bad too.

 

we had a great team that year, but the injuries and our road through the playoffs just killed us, we had the toughest road to the super bowl that year, and pulled off 2 outstanding wins, just going cross country, and then players on the team getting sick. We just got worn out.

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
