Lose when it matters, win when it doesn’t

How does winning this week help things moving forward?

It doesn’t. People cling onto “winning matters over everything” mantra regardless of everything. Did we win with Terrace going 7/100 and a TD? No. Did Burns go for 4 sacks and show dominance? No. Did a young rb that won’t be on the free agency pool next offseason pop off? No. This was a stupid “proving point” for those that want wins over anything. Nothing good came of this game. Can’t wait to get Dallas, Green Bay, and Seattle next year instead of Arizona, Chicago, and Washington. But at least they “won”!

Bet the Jets are glad Darnold won that 2nd game and they ended up with Wilson instead of Lawrence. Moral victories hurt the team in the long run. 

Man....what an absolute bust he turned out to be....

We dropped 1 effing spot. 

Yall can talk about everyone else having a loser mindset but many of the posters here are the epitome of a losing mindset.

Absolutely nothing tragic happened today.

We are picking 9th.

Mahomes went 10th. And the examples go on and on and on...

This literally is the epitome of pathetic

I don't get it this Dropping 1 effing spot comments.

Before this game, we were already at 9.

After this game, we are at 9.

 

We didn't drop a spot at all.

[WOW!!]

Stop playing Madden and trying to replace reality with it..

Ppl are playing for their lives, coaches are coaching for their lives .. They can’t afford to live by the analytics of losing my be better for the team in general..

even better. I read we dropped one spit but the point remains

Guys, the context is the entire season, not just today's game. Today's game just sort of signifies what the Panthers are about.

This may be one of the Carolina Panthers few long held traditions; losing the games that matter, winning the games that don't.  Rivera achieved a .500 record based on this approach.

I've definitely done some stupid poo, but I've never openly rooted for the New Orleans Saints. Few on this board can also lay claim to that

We were in the playoff race until last week and this week didn't affect draft positioning.

So that makes no sense IMO. We played to win until last week when we had a chance at the playoffs and we won today but it didn't affect where we draft.

I don't understand how anyone with a brain would have done anything differently.

Was Wilks supposed to try lose every game the minute he took over?

Other than just wanting to complain, I don't understand the first thing about this thread

It does if they also consider getting blown out in the playoffs to be meaningless. This was a losing season either way.
