The "LAST TIME" you had true hope/hype coming into the season....

I had a lot of hype for 2008 season. I was living in San Diego at the time and that's when we played against the Chargers in week one. The Chargers were favorites to win the AFC that year I believe or at least to go the AFC championship. I had many of my friends and people here saying that we were going to lose by 10 or more points. That's when Jake pumped faked the camera and Rosario caught that touchdown to end the game. That team turned to be really fun to watch, Double Trouble, Smitty, Davis and Beason on defense, Chris Harris and his hit sticks, J Stewart stiff arming Barber on Monday night (I got to watch that game in class).  

Sucks that the season came to a sad ending with Jake's many interceptions against the Cards.

aside from this offseason when i bought the hype (and i'm totally fine with having finally feeling that optimism for just a moment even though it fell apart) i think i haven't really been stoked since 2015. that was a hard loss for me and i'm not sure i ever recovered from it.

I feel you. Same here

This year. Even if it wasn't the pick I wanted we had a #1 overall pick QB. That's exciting. Then we started playing.

Oops.

I will also say this year.  I had my doubts about Bryce but I was really excited about the coaching staff that was assembled.

This year thought we got a upgrade at HC from Wilks to Frank and I thought we got a upgrade at QB from Darnold to Bryce.

 

I was talking playoffs before the season. Fun times.

I think we all got hoo doo'd on that one, me included. Now I spend Sundays doing other things besides watching what the Panthers put on display.

    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.  
    • Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
