Help needed - How do you enjoy the NFL in a down year for the Panthers?


Tarheels23

Recommended Posts

Serious question how do you enjoy other NFL games when the Panthers are having a down year?

Let me start off by saying I never miss a Panthers game but during a down year I won’t watch any other NFL games. I just can’t stomach it  

I just don’t find them enjoyable, but I want to change that. I’m tried of allowing the Panthers to steal my joy. 

 

Any my recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Well you can pull for the Patriots...they always win...10 straight division titles and only 1 time since 2003 they didn’t win the division

I just enjoy the overall competition and the multiple story lines. I like using NFL gamepass and following the ups and downs of teams over the course of the year. Such an intense struggle for everyone, and I find watching the overall narrative of the league as well as that of individual teams captivating.

I even enjoy Panthers down years, believe it or not. You can't have all ups, and sometimes it can be lots of downs, but that's life. Everything is cyclical and if we didn't have downs, we'd have no reference point or appreciation for ups. Amor fati.

Go outside, to the beach, park, or anywhere where I can’t see a television.  It’s a much better life. I have become very apathetic towards all sports. Up until a few years ago I would get so angry that it would ruin the rest of my day if I watched a bad effort, nowadays I really don’t care.

I'm also taking part in @UpstatePanther's "pick em" contest, and so is one of my parrots.

Yes... a parrot :)

For each game, I give him a choice between two treats, one representing the favorite and the other representing the underdog. His pick is determined by which one he chooses.

Laugh if you want to, but at the moment, he's winning :thinking:

He's the only one who picked the Bucs to win this past Thursday night.

2014 ruined my Sunday - Wednesday’s. Then by Thursday I would be hopelessly optimistic again.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
