Are you secretly hoping for a blowout?

 Shoot. I’m the definition of Cam-wagon fan, and really don’t care if we win another game. But I sure don’t want to see another game even worse than SF/ATL. That’s not good for anyone. 
 

And Rivera shouldn’t be target #1 in any scenario like this.

You can tell me. I won't tell anyone.

I am secretly hoping the game isn’t so awful I don’t watch the second half, like I did against SF, or leave the stadium at the end of the third like I did last week. I love my team, but no longer to the point of watching a game in which they aren’t competitive. You wait all year for football season. For your team to be in multiple games in a season you don’t even want to finish watching is the ultimate disappointment as a fan imo.

Im not demanding an undefeated season, but at least give me 16 games that keep me watching til the end. Heck, the season before we got Peppers, when we only won the one game, yeah it sucked balls losing all season, but for a team with an awful reacord, we were in almost all of those games til the end. They were compelling. They didn't make me think "I'd rather just get my laundry started for the week instead of watch this poo."

I've been watching the NHL Canes more the last two years...if this trend continues, that won't change.

Still have not watched the Falcons or SF game.

No point.

Maybe I should watch more hockey. The NHL has 2 of the best traditions in sports concerning the Stanley Cup. I think both putting the name of the winning team on the trophy every year and every member of the winning team getting a day with the trophy during the off-season are great ideas.

When the Canes won the Stanley Cup, their goalie got married the following offseason, so ofc the team made his wedding day his day with the Cup. How @#$&ing awesome would it be to have the Stanley Cup at your wedding if you were a hockey player?

”Hey thanks for coming to the wedding, enjoy the reception. You guys want some punch? We got the best punch bowl ever.”

secretly hoping for a blowout win and brees weeping gently on his mole, with the salt content irritating it.  not hoping to see him get hot and lick his fingers 2000 times and twitch his shoulder over and over and over and over.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
