What's sad and pathetic is how little you understand of commitment and sticking with a team through hell , I wish the Panthers had fans that loved the team enough to cry when we win or lose 

Sadly our fanbase mostly consists of Fairweather wine and cheese bandwagoneer losers who just don't get it 

 

 

I guarantee there would be tears from some of these tough guys on here if Cam had won it all and held the trophy up high.

Sad you quoted my post mentioned nothing about my family situation just to prove your point about a football game.

 

This just shows you how some people value football over real life situations.

 

Thanks for proving your point though. Hopefully the Panthers and Tepper feel passionate about you the fan to put a better product on the field.

 

On that note I'm done for tonight. It's been a hell of a weekend. Hope everyone enjoyed the 1st week of playoff football.

I’m not a person who is passionate enough to cry about football. I am also of the age that I realize that this is just a game that has no real bearing on my life, other than the emotional ups (not really anymore) and downs of a game. However, I am not going to poke fun at someone who is passionate and out their team winning or losing. 

As much as your family circumstances give you the perspective of knowing there is far more than football, we have no idea about that guy’s life circumstances. Maybe he had an absentee father and turned to the Lions for enjoyment. Maybe he attended and watched Lions games with his grandfather and wanted nothing more than to share in a Lions playoff victory but his grandfather didn’t live long enough to see this game. Whatever it is, I’m not going to put that guy down. 

As far as my statement, I’m just pointing out the juxtaposition of you essentially saying, “I’m not passionate enough to cry about football because life,” while you, at the same time, take every opportunity to passionately put down the players on the team of which you profess to be a fan.

I don't know what is more pathetic. Crying on primetime television because your team won a game or defending a grown ass man on the internet for crying on primetime television because his team won a game.

Good grief. It's a football game. 

We got a tough one, gents! Next time his Heels win it all in basketball he'll sit there in his chair in his log cabin and be like, "cool".

I remember my high school football team losing the first game of my sophomore season. I was bummed, but a little ways away from me in the locker room there was a junior friend of mine bawling.

He'd played in that game, and played his heart out. I hadn't because it was my first year. We had different perspectives, but he was somebody that I liked and respected outside of football anyway.

People are just different...

NBC had a story pregame about a lady whose dad had been a Lions fan all his life but passed away before he had the chance to see them make it to the playoffs this year.

She went to the game with his personalized Lion's jersey and his ashes as a memorial sort of thing.

Thought that was pretty cool...

The season is complete...................and the greatest on record for me of the last 10 years.

See America's team getting bitch slapped out of the playoffs like that is my super bowl.

Jerry Jones turned a great franchise into the most hated team in America.............and for me I'm afraid Tepper will do the same for the Panthers.

As long as Tepper owns the Panthers I will root for them to lose every game..........or else get as good in the regular season as possible and get blown out in the playoffs like Dallas just did.  

....and along the way laugh my ass off at Tepper like I do with Jones when they show the press box after their egos get handed to them on a tray of pickled crows feet.

What a year!

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
