nothing.

it's just a game. 

 

in a fixed league.

it's just entertainment. 

probably sleep through most of it anyway.

I'll be at a soccer game.   I plan to go back and watch it if it is really good or really bad.  If they can just manage a win I'll just watch the highlight clip and call it a day.

It won't matter much either way. I feel a healthy Carolina is way better than a healthy NYJ but I'm bias.

I'd be disappointed and it would hinder my excitement for the season quite a bit, but I wouldn't give up hope. After our pitiful start in 2013 no one could've imagined how magical the rest of that season would be.

One of my favorite seasons to watch. That defense was a force.

Granted, but like I said earlier in this thread not all losses are created equally. The Panthers hung tough with the eventual Superbowl champion Seahawks in Week 1 of 2013, who were also a playoff team in 2012. Only lost because of a Deangelo Williams fumble. Completely different caliber of loss.

The Jets were one of the worst teams in the NFL last year and will not be winning Super Bowl this season.

I guess 16-1 will have to do.

In a perfect world we have the game won by half time but we need to remember this team is very young and we have a coaching staff on their first full year of “normalcy”. 
 

If we lose because our defense gets torched or our offensive playmakers don’t make plays I’ll be pissed. If we play a good game and it comes down to a couple plays or blown calls I’ll say move on to the Aints.

If the Panthers lose week one?

If the Darnold is not named captain?

If Justin Fields becomes Tom Brady x10?

If a bullfrog had wings...

Who gives a damn?

This place will be the hottest mess it's ever been if we lose this game. The sky will fall through the floor.

As much as I'd like to say I don't want to see that happen, I also have a morbid curiosity to watch and participate in that train wreck.

Disastrous starts happen.

What matters is how you recover from them.

Leave it to Mr. Scot to post like he's giving a press conference. You trying to be a head coach with these platitudes? 

We all know the Panthers should come out and destroy the Jets. They're at home and top to bottom they're the better team. Any kind of loss means there's something broken with this team out of the gate and the fanbase should rightfully be getting pitchforks ready. Last season was miserable enough but losing to the god damned Jets Week 1 is inexcusable.
