🙄 with this stuff.  I would have been "happier" had the Panthers lost to WFT and in a way kind of wanted that BUT what did the tank the game people want the Panthers to do??  Did you watch that game?  WTF was not just bad that day but horrible ... tanking or trying to lose that game would have been almost impossible.  That is how bad WFT was that day. 

This is absolutely the correct take. Even with the bench playing we don't lose that game

Beating Washington and dropping to 8th overall pick from 3

It’s the Panther way...kinda like talking about culture and offering a futures contract to Haskins

there are ways to lose without looking like it. All teams do it to rest their players before the playoffs   New Orleans masters of it

its over and done.  Who knows, we might be better off

Teams rest their players because they need them for the playoffs and they are already locked in. Teams that aren’t in the playoffs don’t just obviously rest their starters. We did the best we could by “holding CMC out because he wasn’t 100%.” The only coach I’ve seen bench his starters when they aren’t making the playoffs is Pederson, and it is part of the reason why he got fired.

Imagine if Wilson, Lance or Fields go on to become a great QBs and we miss out on them cause of this meaningless bs game

Imagine if Wilson, Lance & Fields end up being scrubs and the guy we draft at 8 becomes great but would have missed out on him because we lost that game and drafted one of them instead. It works both ways. There are NO guarantees in the draft, not even Lawrence.  Everyone whining about winning a game and losing draft position forget the NFL is about winning games not who gets the highest draft pick.  Get over it.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
