We all remember the moment.

I have long said the Panthers are cursed because they have a black cat as a mascot.

No cat team has won since this moment. Coincidence?

The excuse that keeps Ron in Carolina next year.

Lol I would die if Tepper had a press conference and was like “Man that cat really hurt our season, so were gonna keep Ron”

[WarHeel]

I was hoping for the opposite effect

I feel like Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney bring more bad luck than if a black cat broke 13 mirrors while walking under a ladder.

This team has sucked ever since Tepper put the black cat at the 50 yd line to make panthers fans happy. We made the Playoff in 2017-2018 under JR and the NFL logo. Sucked since then.

Not made the Playoff since this

Bring this back

We are an idiotic fanbase for sure.

Not Ron. Hurney is bad luck for this franchise. I want Ron gone too, but with an actual NfL caliber GM Ron got us to the superbowl.

I'm not following his current career that closely. I do know he was battling cancer but I don't have any idea how that's going.

The one thing I can definitively say is that when we had he and Rivera, the two of them produced the most successful period in Panthers history.

Hurney / Rivera? Not so much.

Over time, I think Gettleman's proven to be in over his head as gm, and that's coming from someone who was originally pretty stoked that we hired him.

I don't have a good idea as to who we should sign to replace Marty, but I'm not in favor of keeping him and Ron as Khuber keeps suggesting just because we might do worse with their replacements.  Sometimes, the only way to heal is to cut the tumor out, and at this point I think both men's careers here are only unhealthy for us.
