Every time after the Super Bowl....


hepcat

Recommended Posts

After every Super Bowl, I sit and watch the victorious team celebrate and wonder....will I ever see the Panthers win a championship? Every season I get a year older and a year closer to death. And the chances to see my favorite team since childhood finally win the Super Bowl get smaller and smaller.

There are franchises like the Lions, that have existed since the Super Bowl began, that have never even made it to the big game. And their fans probably wonder the same thing. So maybe I should just be happy I’ve at least been able to see my team play in the Super Bowl at all?

Maybe it’s being a cat team. Especially a black cat team. The cat teams are all really sad (two of which have never even been to the Super Bowl). All cat teams have overall losing records and are full of misery. Maybe it’s time to have a non-animal related mascot? I dunno, I just always get a little depressed after the Super Bowl.

Cheer up , bud.

Next month, I'll be an octogenarian, and I ain't giving up on my Panthers!  Live life to the fullest, and enjoy the whole ride, not just the accelerations.

How many games did the Chiefs win last year?  4?

Our time will come...

KC was the  AFC number one seed in 2018.  12-4

We're not the Patriots, but we've been to 2 Super Bowls that we honestly should have won, and were very close to winning, in the past 20 years.

That's better than about half the teams in the NFL.

The team that I root for in the NBA has never been to a championship, ever, spanning more than a half century.

We have a new owner who is very committed to winning and will outspend anyone (although I hate who he chose for a coach, I still have some level of faith he will be a good long term owner).

Not that bad to be a Panthers fan.

I can't imagine how few fugs I'll give when I get to be your age. Since childhood I haven't had a single one to spare and with every passing year I somehow find I have fewer and fewer.

Chiefs didn’t become consistent winners till 2013 and it took that long for them to win a title. A lot goes into a season but the biggest thing was getting them a coach that can be consistent.

Also people saying we are in tank mode and won’t do anything for a while... a FIRST YEAR REID took a 2-14 team to the playoffs so you never know where it might end up.

Its a process you have to trust it.

I can honestly say that for me, it didn't even take a Super Bowl.

For the past couple of seasons, several times while watching non-Panther games, I've found myself asking the question "Why aren't we as good as these teams?" There were objective, concrete answers to that question but I wasn't really looking for them. It was more just a frustrated rhetorical than anything else.

As far as the future, Rivera being gone helps (Hurney being gone would help even more). In his place we've got a coach with very little NFL experience and a staff that doesn't boast much more, but at least there's hope.

If nothing else, perhaps it's a positive to say that we go into next year knowing that if we're making mistakes, at least they'll be new ones. I was really tired of seeing the old ones over and over again, and I doubt I'm the only one to say that.

That was 49ers last season.  Their season was destroyed by injuries too.  They were the best NFC team this season, just owning everyone all season and they were one quarter short of winning it all.  They have great offensive line which we don’t and their defense is very good unlike ours.

the more depressing part to me is those teams are just a lot better than we are.   2015 was the worst year of nfl football i've seen in my life.  i don't want that to have to happen again for us to have a shot.  now there are some teams that are going to be good for a while.  it is kind of depressing because of marty.  if we had a diff gm i could have some real hope that we'll build  a whole team.  the bright spot is hopefully we've got folks in place who will get the team to play their hearts out.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
