2001 . We lost 15 straight.

Many of you aren’t old enough to know how bad that was.  
This team has lots of problems, but try to think what 15 straight losses is like 

I remember.  I had been laid off that fall and was reduced to delivering pizzas to pay the bills.  I drove Sunday afternoons and listened to the weekly dumpster fire on the radio.  good times, lol

I remember that season well, that was a competitive bunch for many games. Shouldn’t have been a 1-15 team.

I'm out of reactions.

Why can't we have unlimited reactions?

 

I know one thing we may all disagree from time to time. We might all have different visions of the path we need to take to get to the promised land.

But we are one Black and Blue Nation. 

A Panther Nation.

As long as the team is here I will never turn my back on them.

We didn't get blown out 35-0 in the first half of any of those games though, so........  I was at that last game versus Patriots in the rain and stayed to the final whistle with the stadium about 98% empty when the team absolutely gave up in the second half and STILL didn't get whooped this bad.

Its just enduring the bandwagoners when we are good. The Friday before the 2015 Championship Sunday, I stopped in Lenoir to eat lunch and it was a sea of teal and black. Young and old, rich and poor rooted for Panthers victory. I haven't seen one shirt in Western NC in a restaurant in the six years since.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
