Hockey is the only thing that’s got me through the last five years.

The Panthers, Hornets, Heels (football) and at times Heels (basketball) have all fugged me.

And we are not far removed from the Canes being right there with them, it got really bad, we were sort like the Panthers are now, aging washed up vets and a no man's land for decent Free Agents , but we got sold, to a serios ownerand started building through the draft, and got lucky with  generational talent like Aho,and Scechnekov , now we are a perennial playoff team , and in the Cup conversion every year

I wish Mike Dundon would buy the Panthers off of tepper, then things might change

I hate to say it but tonight changed Josh Downs' legacy and not for the better. 😞

1 play but you have to catch that.  The defense giving up a 3rd and 9 on a straight run was more maddening to me.  That was going to be the downfall for this team.

For 12 straight years I dreaded hockey season.

Plenty of maddening plays in that game. But at the end of the day it's been very clear this team was going to go as far as the offense could carry them. The D giving up a 3rd and long was predictable. Josh Downs dropping a gimmie TD on 4th and 11 wasn't. That hurt.

Hang in there man…this has been a tough year of brutal loses for our home teams

9-2 ain’t bad all things considered

If you'd told me at the beginning of the season we'd be 9-2 I'd be thrilled. That still doesn't make snatching defeat from the jaws of victory against a 4-6 GT team anymore palatable. Especially for what that means lying ahead in the ACC CG. Prepare to see the highest level of bullshit call/no calls you've seen since SB50.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
