We won a meaningless game last year. We beat WFT. Man that was a great win. It meant so much. It only cost us draft position and we missed out on a franchise LT Rhule would have actually drafted. Boy that feel good game no one is going to give 2 shits about ever again vs a LT for the next 10 years is definitely worth it though. 

Beating Tampa won't affect draft position though?

I always want us to win. Before this season I predicted that we'd struggle to win 6 games. How could someone who watched this team last season figure that out? Hmmm. Not rocket science.

I'll never support keeping a guy that says it's working 1000% when it obviously isn't. Honesty, humility. Taking responsibility for poor performance, especially on offense. That would be a good start to the next season and a start to repairing some trust. He will strategically do the opposite though. They'll never see that coming.

Correct, unless Giants or Jets win their games.

If Giants win (13.00 game), a losing Panthers are guaranteed to get the 5t pick. Other games are irrelevant. 

Titans and Bengals need to win and Vikings lose (13.00) to have any chance of jumping ahead of Jets. Then at (16.00) Jets need to win and Cardinals lose and they play the same time as Panthers. So before game we know if it's possible. 

Pick at 4 in theory, 5 possible and 6 likely.

See you after the upset dog…shameful Panther fans that don’t want this game…lol

It's not that we don't want to win games. It's just that we can't, haven't and won't while Rhule is the coach. This is the least inspiring iteration of the Panthers since the team's inception. 

We snuck in three wins early on against wounded, washed out teams. Then we've gone on to a streak of losses with a couple of quick wins against other wounded teams. Right now, we're basically just vultures.

The Giants beat us. The team that had to go to their second choice of HC because we hired Rhule away from their grasp. That, right there, tells the whole tale of the tape. And that guy is on the hot seat for the Giants right now.

Reasons we should try to win today:

1: Ignorance

2: Stupidity

3: Lack of understanding

4: Mental defect

5: to watch the world burn

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
