You must've missed the sarcasm.

Then I sincerely apologize to you 

it’s in vogue not just on this page, but life in general, to be miserable instead of having a little bit of joy in the moment about anything 

I don’t know if they will win another game, just as a long time PSL Holder, I’m glad for the fans, the coaches and players to have something to cheer for in December….  

….with Sam Darnold, no less i mean my god, it’s a miracle.   Granted he tried twice to give it away but by God, he didn’t

Ah, no worries.

And I honestly agree. I was one who was going along with the Tank train when they were losing bc all we could look forward to was the possibility of getting a franchise QB in the draft. But it's so much more fun and enjoyable when the team, and fans, want to win.

Like you said, the fact we're doing it with Sam Darnold of all people is praiseworthy in its own.

A guy I work with seems to think if we win the Division there is a chance we could host The Cowgirls in the first round....  

It's likely going to be Dallas as the top wildcard facing the NFC-S "champion".

Washington can catch Dallas for the top wildcard, but only if Washington runs the table (NYG, @SF, CLE, DAL), and Dallas (@JAX, PHI, @TEN, @WAS) doesn't win another game. But that seems highly unlikely.

There's also an outside chance that Dallas could catch Philly for the division. Dallas would have to win all their remaining games, including having to beat Philly Week 16, plus get Philly to lose to either Chicago, New Orleans, or NYG. If Dallas did catch them, then the NFC-S "champion" would host Philly.

I think a lot of the tank crowd never actually attends games.  I have 2 boys that really just got old enough to start watching the Panthers in 2019.  Obviously, we sucked most of 2019, couldn't attend games in 2020, and were absolutely wretched offensively at home last year.

People complain about the environment at BOA and selling tickets to opposing fans, but then actively root for us to fail for some imagined future, all the while it destroys the engagement of the fanbase.  It's absolute lunacy.

I want my boys to witness BOA like it can be when we are relevant.  Hosting a playoff game under any circumstance is awesome.  Absolutely nothing is guaranteed for the future.

After 4 seasons of utter failure, I want to live in the now and enjoy this with my boys.

And I'm also old enough to remember all the naysayers complaining about winning the lowly NFC South in 2014 and how it was going to be a bad thing long term.

In fact, it led to a SB appearance the next year.  Now, without a QB like prime Cam, that might not be the case next year, but this current group would benefit greatly from the experience.

CJ Stroud or Bryce Young aren't setting the league on fire next year.  I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but they have the absolute feel of a Jamies Winston/Marcus Mariota vibe to me.

The NFC is as bad this year as any year I can ever, ever remember.  Other than the Eagles, there is honestly not one team in the NFC I feel like we would not stand a chance against.

So why not do this?  No one would have imagined we could take down the Eagles in the 2003 playoffs either.  In one game anything can happen.

Regardless, this is so, so much better than the last 4 miserable ass seasons.

assuming we win this week, the Lions will be a big test to see if we have grown into a legit team. they are firing on all cylinders right now.

I think that game will actually get some significant national attention, since we are 2 of the best underdog stories of the 2022 season.  

But, the only way to remain relevant is to keep winning...

      Panthers will play starters in first 2 preseason games

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.   Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.''   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      You call the Cowboys purely for information, but we don't have the assets to pull off any realistic trade. Also, even if they would consider any trade, it's more likely they want to do it with an AFC team.
