Why Does No One Mention the Fact That We've Won Zero Playoff Games in 3 Seasons After a Super Bowl Trip?

To me this is the most striking statistic I've seen in this post 2015 era. Pretty much all 3 seasons have been failures. We managed to have a winning record in 2017 but that doesn't mean jack squat when you get 3x swept to a divisional opponent and lose in the first wild card game.

Well, that type of stuff is going to happen with bewildering moves by management, a terrible handcuff of a contract that has reverberating negative effects that transcend seasons, incomplete lines, backups in your receiving corps, and injuries in general, not to mention injuries to your franchise QB's throwing shoulder. I mean, it's not a mystery that we haven't won a postseason game. In the same vein, franchise history hasn't been kind to us to have successive winning seasons, so if you look at the cycle (especially in conjunction with the aforementioned), we were not really "on schedule" to win anything at least two of the last three years.

I think every one of us realizes this which is why 90% of the fan base wanted and expected Rivera and Hurney to be fired.

I believe Tepper is a smart guy so he obviously knows this as well. Unfortunately, building a new practice facility is more important to him than building a winning franchise.

Oh and don’t say but he’s a Steelers guy and they don’t overreact and fire their coaches. The Steelers have had 1 losing season in like the past 10 years. If that was the case for the Panthers I’d have no problem giving Ron and Hurney another chance.

It seems to me like Tepper some how still doesn’t know who he wants his GM to be so he doesn’t feel like paying two coaches. This results in lame duck seasons which is what we are currently staring at.

We went 15-1 and went to the Super Bowl and proceeded to have one of the worst offseasons in history which ultimately led to a disastrous 6-10 season. Rivera risked the future of our franchise QB to save his job and some how it worked.

If Dave and Ron would have been fired after 2016 like they should have been we probably aren’t in this current shitty situation.

I’m willing to believe this but I certainly have yet to see evidence of it.  The converse, in fact.

The NFL’s history is full of owners who are/were “smart” businessmen but are/were utter failures as football-men.

I mean, those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Seeing them practice in a fkn ballroom is just silly.

Could be true of Tepper but at this point we simply don’t know and people don’t like that...they want to know and want to know now, regardless of evidence. History and religion teaches us the unknown is man’s biggest fear, naturally terrifies people to the point of war and denile. 

Unfortunately, that isn’t how the process works, it takes time to know and understand where this franchise is going and we will all just have to wait and see.

      Games been a snooze fest of sloppy play

      The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye 2025 Carolina Panthers 53-gayman roster prediction spectacular

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      ESPN's David Newton: QUARTERBACKS (2): Bryce Young, Andy Dalton A preseason muscle injury to Dalton's right arm could force the Panthers to keep Jack Plummer if the issue gets worse, but that currently doesn't seem to be a concern. For the first time since going No. 1 in 2023, there is no question that Young is the starter after winning two of his final three games last season with 10 touchdowns (7 passing, 3 rushing) and no turnovers. RUNNING BACKS (3): Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle, Trevor Etienne Selecting Etienne in the fourth round out of Georgia makes veteran Raheem Blackshear a likely cut. Etienne has shown in the preseason that he is a capable option as a runner, in addition to being a returner, which has been Blackshear's primary responsibility since 2022. WIDE RECEIVERS (7): Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, Jalen Coker, Jimmy Horn Jr., David Moore, Hunter Renfrow This is the most improved group on the team, so keeping seven initially makes sense. If the Panthers go with six it could make coach Dave Canales' favorite, Moore, expendable with Renfrow showing he's close to the level he played in 2021 when he made the Pro Bowl with the Las Vegas Raiders. Brycen Tremayne, who's had an excellent preseason, will be a tough cut. TIGHT ENDS (3): Tommy Tremble, Ja'Tavion Sanders, Mitchell Evans There is anticipation Tremble (back surgery) will be ready for the regular season after coming off the PUP list before the preseason finale, though he could still miss a game or two. Keeping him on the 53-man roster makes sense so she doesn't have to miss the first four games. OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (10): T Ikem Ekwonu, G Damien Lewis, G Robert Hunt, C Austin Corbett, C Cade Mays, T Taylor Moton, T Yosh Nijman, T-G Brady Christensen, G Chandler Zavala, G Jarrett Kingston Injuries to guards Lewis (strained shoulder) and Zavala (knee) plays a factor in keeping 10 instead of the nine predicted going into camp. The starting five returning from 2024 had a solid preseason, but the lackluster play of backups showed depth remains a concern. DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6): DE Derrick Brown, NT Bobby Brown III, DE Tershawn Wharton, DE A'Shawn Robinson, NT Cam Jackson , DE Jaden Crumedy A shoulder injury that has kept fifth-round pick Jackson from making an impact means Crumedy could make it here. The biggest cut will be Shy Tuttle, who has 32 starts the past two years but little to show for it. Moving on from him will create $2.4 million in cap space that can be used elsewhere. LINEBACKERS (10): OLB D.J. Wonnum, OLB Patrick Jones II, OLB Princely Umanmielen, OLB Nic Scourton, OLB Thomas Incoom, ILB Christian Rozeboom, ILB Trevin Wallace, ILB Claudin Cherelus, ILB Jon Rhattigan, ILB Jacoby Windmon The release of ILB Josey Jewell (concussion protocol) at the start of camp required immediate attention, but Rozeboom has stepped up well. Depth remains a big question, particularly inside. Moving on from draft pick Bam Martin-Scott means he'll likely end up on the practice squad. It was time to move on from OLB DJ Johnson. Look for turnover beyond the starters here. CORNERBACKS (5): Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson, Chau Smith-Wade, Shemar Bartholomew, Corey ThorntonJackson has played well enough at times to ease the concern opposite Pro Bowler Horn. Thorton's play during camp has been a big surprise, but the overall depth of this group means there likely will be turnover. SAFETIES (4): Tre'von Moehrig, Nick Scott, Demani Richardson, Lathan Ransom The big question is how long it will take fourth-round pick Ransom to replace Scott as the starter opposite Moehrig. Also, don't rule out another experienced player being signed. SPECIALISTS (3): K Ryan Fitzgerald, P Sam Martin, LS JJ Jansen Big-legged undrafted free agent Fitzgerald out of Florida State may have solidified his spot over Matthew Wright with a 52-yard field goal in the second preseason game against the Texans. The other two spots are solid, but Carolina likely will keep an eye out for dependable veterans who end up being released.
