Every time after the Super Bowl....

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 used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
