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

It does if the sun is going to explode in a billion years too I guess...  it makes every season a losing season if you think about it from that perspective as well. As well as anything else. You can follow that rabbit hole all the way down.

If you have convinced yourself every ending is going to be miserable you won't be disappointed, either watching the Panthers or in life.

But to me personally, this seems like an awfully depressing way to live. But you do you

Then why watch any of the games?

What do you mean? For entertainment.

If the Panthers get to the playoffs, okay, I'll pull for them. Though there's this creeping, nagging, thing — reality.

Well interestingly enough, watching Football is a way to escape Reality.  lol

The reality is this is yet another losing season. The posters that are acknowledging this fact are in no way less fans.

I mean, maybe? I've been through a lot of traumatic events, and yet I wouldn't be so grim.

It's just a game.

Winning always matters

Winning matters to coaches coaching for their jobs and players who actually care. For a lot of fans winning the last game of your season when it means absolutely nothing except that you beat a rival really doesn’t mean much.

It’s honestly funny. This entire season it feels like every week the opposite of what I wanted to happen happened. I suppose the Detroit game I was still cheering for a win. But it’s insane man, we are stuck in purgatory. It’s why I don’t even care if they just give a kings ransom to move up for a QB. If the player hits, we can be in the playoffs soon. If he doesn’t it should collapse enough to get a first overall pick again hopefully in a draft with a true franchise altering QB. Just stop this treadmill poo.

Winning is winning no matter who you are.

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Losing when it matters and winning when it doesn't, is pretty much the definition of a poorly coached, mediocre team.

How many top 5 pick QBs are going to be in the playoffs this year?

What is sad is a franchise whose fans argue and fight over draft position and losing. I hope we can get back back to playoff ball and meaningful games in January. We made some headway this year and hopefully we can continue the momentum next year. Good finish even though it didn't really increase Wilkes chances or show Darnold in a positive light other than a late drive to win the game.
