Whole lotta bitchin'.... however, some stats

[holycrikey]

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but I figured I'd make a thread and see how it goes.

I give credit to the Aint's. They will always be the Aint's in my heart, but this year they were good. A Superbowl win proves it. However, does anyone else feel the celebration should be a bit bittersweet? Panthers fans should also stop their bitching for the following reasons:

It took the Aint's 43 years to win a Superbowl. It took the Panthers a mere 8 years of existing to show up for one and barely lose in it. The Aint's have had 8 playoff appearances in 43 years. Panthers have had 4 playoff appearances in 15 years.

For the Panthers to have a pretty good record after such a short existence says a lot, especially when you look at other expansion teams like the Texans and Jaguars.

What I'm saying is that it isn't the end of the world. The Panthers will remain a competitive team given it's track record.

Now we can just hope that the Aint's fade to obscurity after their SB win like the Bucs did

P.S.- And at least it wasn't the Falcant's. My hatred for them (and their fans) is just too deep.

On a side note the Texans aren't bad and I'd be surprised if they don't make the playoffs soon.

i agree, better the saints than the falcons.

:yesnod: :yesnod:

At least I'm glad the Aints won this than the Falcants. And it took them 4 decades to win it. Our time will come faster & when we do win the big one not too long, we could be the NFC South team to get it quicker than the other 2. I can live with that. :thumbsup:

That is my only concern, honestly. That the Panthers become the last to win a SB in the NFC South. I think we can beat the Falcants to it. But again, even if they win one, it doesn't dramatically say that much considering they've been around for 45 years and have yet to get one.

Again, I think the Panthers are making the right steps towards making themselves a solid, enduring franchise.

Also, I don't understand some of you Panthers "fans". It's all well and dandy to say to an opponent, "Hey, you guys did good." But to actually SUPPORT a rival team to win? You guys are insane and are only luike-warm fans.

I know rivalries aren't as insane as college, but would you ever hear a UNC fan root for Duke if say, UNC was excluded from the NCAA Tourney and Duke was in it? HELL no. You simply do not root for rivals in championship situations.

I already gave my word of praise to the Aints. They did good. They won the SB. Fantastic. But would I root for them to win? Hell no. Absolutely no. And I have no idea why some of you guys on this board actually rooted for them thinking it was somehow good for the NFC South. You are insane.
