I'm Just Ready for some Football.....

Like every week I hate the speculation. Just bring on the game, let the chips fall where they may, and lets see what we got.

I'm tired of the speculation, lets play some football.

One thing is certain, no matter which side you are on (doom and gloom, or were on the highway to heaven) We all will have a better idea after Sunday!

Lets bash some heads and make a statement!!!! :smash:

The Bills are a step up from the lowly Bucs. Like I alluded to in a thread earlier this season, I expected victories v. Washington, the Bucs and Bills, so this game is not really going to mean a thing as to where we are this season as an organization, unless we lose it.

Of course a win---particularly one that brings us back to .500---is a psychological uplift, but this game will have the same effect as drinking a twelve pack in an hour to drown out all your problems. That's the only statement I see it making. Now get at least two out of the next three after this game, then I might be inclined to get a little excited (just a little).

this... this is what makes me doubt our fanbase..

shouldnt doubt me, i've watched every game since the inception of the panthers..I have an opinion about them. I root for them to win every weekend and have never missed a game, but im a realist and can make educated guesses on the outcomes of games. they have conditioned me like Pavlovs ***** dog....

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
