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.

    • Yeah the only way current set up is fun is if every year a different tiny school builds a super team and makes a run. You just need 1 rich guy to say you know what would be funny, if I drop 30 million and my school has a shot at a national championship.   They won't ever do it but put some sort of tiered salary cap in place and sign them to 4 year deals. You can only transfer up or down tiers no lateral moves because mean ole coach at texas doesn't play me enough so I'm going to Tennessee. So a player at prairie view can transfer to texas and get paid more or a player from UNC can transfer to UNCG because he isn't getting playing time. If a guy is transferring "up" he can get a salary bump if the team has salary cap space. A guy transferring down has to stay at the same salary as he signed his 4 year deal for so the lower tier team would have to have the cap space to sign him. It would stop the money chasing for lateral moves but allow guys who improve massively at lower schools to make more money as juniors and seniors and hopefully keep more guys in one place because the contract is for 4 years.
    • Bryce youngs first starts for 3 years   51 of 103 49%     153 yards avg 6 ints 2 tds   But this is the year he turns it around
    • His third year was worse than Bryce's third year, significantly so.  And he had a game where he threw for 120 yards, two inteceptions, and had a fumble.  He had multiple games where he threw for more int's than td's.
