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.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
