OP might be on to something.

If the Panthers losing a game causes bouts of depression that last more than than a few minutes/hours (at most) becoming less emotionally invested is a good thing.

I don't think it makes a person any less of a fan if they somewhat distance themselves for the sake of their emotional well being.

This exactly. Losing games like last week sucks -- and sticks. But you can't let it take an emotional toll. Take an hour or two, go outside, calm down, tell yourself it's just a game, then get excited for watching your team again next week.

My wife said it best after we lost last week and I was visibly down. "Playoffs or not, we have at least a few more weeks where we can watch the games together and cheer the team on. Let's enjoy it." And she's exactly right.

I've come to grips that it's impossible for me not to be affected by losses. However, I'm no longer going to let it ruin the rest of my week.

I’ll meet you halfway. 

Each game is dam near like a playoff game to me. I am emotionally invested, so that leaves me either really high or low. 

I’m just fortunate enough that I can let it go by Monday morning. (Outside of the last post season game that was played during the 2015-16 which I shall not name)

I'll pass. Caring about this team is what makes you a fan. Otherwise you end up like ickmule. Claiming you don't care about the team or watching the games, but constantly posting on the huddle about it

Na that’s called being a biddy. I think what OP is saying is don’t be a butch. Just watch and enjoy the game, not having expectations one way or another. Don’t be part of the batchfest that happens after every loss..

Most sane fans can be upset with a loss and separate that from their own life.

Or you could end up like uncfan888 and live with false hope every season.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season.

      Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively.

      Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
