2011 Giants started 6-2, lost 4 in a row, then won the Superbowl

I'm one of the most pessimistic people about the Panthers right now, but for those bright eyed naive go-getter type fans looking for hope, here it is.

The 2011 Giants started 6-2, lost 4 games in a row, then finished 9-7 to win their division and ultimately won the Superbowl.

Key difference is, unlike the Panthers soft schedule, they played a murderer's row for their 4 game losing streak. Week 10 against the 8-1 49ers, Week 11 against the 4-6 Eagles (division rival), Week 12 against the 8-3 Saints coming off a bye, and Week 13 against the 12-0 Packers.

But it's happened before, a 6-2 team dropping to 6-6 and winning the Superbowl, so I guess that's something to think about.

I’ve pointed them, Green Bay and Steelers out as examples the last 10 years of teams that were discarded, got it together, and took on greatness at the end.

whether the Panthers have it in them, the lionheartedness to do it in the face of dirty fans is up to them.

it would be epic for sure.

I’m going to believe it’s possible until it’s not.

no, not happening.  cam needs to be sat.   end of season.  figure out shoulder.   last thing he needs is to have to play extra games so rivera can keep a job.  it's our season vs our future.  i love football.  i'm gonna hope cam sits and try and find some joy in people making great plays.

Thanks for the positive thought, but there are things in life that are so improbable, the likelihood of repetition is minimal at best.  For example, in American history, this happened, something unlikely to recur:

The great molasses flood of 1919. A storage tank at a factory in Boston burst killing 21 people and injuring 150 more in a 35 mph tidal wave of molasses.

I hope this point helps us all prepare for the inevitable.   (no, one of the victims was not an ancestor of Kelvin Benjamin, torn between fleeing and baking a huge gingerbread cookie)

It’s unlikely but still possible so I’m cheering for wins and getting into the playoffs. Don’t care about draft spot or coaching staff changes, just want to win out and see where we can go in the playoffs. If we somehow did win it all this year it would be wayyyyy more special than if we had won in ‘15.

Yea ok... let’s look at the d line they had

Teams can win games many different ways. Their DL that year wasn’t even close to as good as 2007, and amazingly they were the 25th ranked D in the reg. season and dead last in rushing... With Rivera running the D now who the hells knows what can happen

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
