Tips for getting over this loss

So I'm waking up this morning a bit hung over and a bit more bummed than I was even last night about this unexpected turn of events. I figured I'd start a thread for us fans who take this game a bit too seriously and are a little out of sorts today. Maybe one answer is to "take the game less seriously," but that's easier to say than do, so let's hear your suggestions. Here are mine (all of which I plan to do...well, except for the kids one):

1. Exercise. The greater the amount, and the greater the intensity the better (to a point -- don't give yourself a heart attack). Time to start that New Year's Resolution of getting in shape in earnest.

2. Take a bath. Seriously, we stink! Preferably after the exercise.

3. Project-time -- whether it's cleaning out your garage, organizing your CD collection, whatever, this is probably a GREAT day

4. If you have kids -- take them somewhere cool today.

Please share your own suggestions, I need stuff to take up a day that was intended to be spent watching football.

Uh, your first one (not part of the list) was the correct one.

Why does everyone take this game so seriously? Why do we need to act like owners, coaches and players in this forum?

I know it's not always easy to do, but damn, there's NOTHING we can do about how they play and what they do.

Seriously, after I log off this board in the next 30 minutes, my mind will be off the Panthers and on my life. Which is where everyone elses should be. Now, if the Panthers are part of your life... I have a good therapist and psychiatrist you can talk to...

Your point is well taken D. But I can't be the only one who planned to spend most of today watching the playoffs and now has no interest in doing so. Thought I'd throw a few suggestions of things that can get the minds of the more obsessive (ill, as you might call them) fans, myself included, weened off of football for now. :D

I'm not innocent; I spent all day watching football too. I'm bored, have no current hobbies, and have no GF at the moment. Second semester just started, though, so I guess I have something to do.

I hope no one takes my post too harshly; I did not mean it that way.

EDIT: Oh, and start watching the NBA games!

P.S. Buy a PS3 if you don't have one already.

All of the emotion, we as fans, invested in this team this season was just thrown in the garbage last night. I'm more ashamed than anything. Life goes on but it's ok to be pissed.

Yep. It fine for us to be upset. We just need to let it out our emotion. I'm already starting to recover slowly right now.

Fans from every team except one will end up disappointed this season.

I think no one can say that there aren't more important things in your life than football. Your kids, families, educations if you're still in school, work, etc.

It's like a bad break-up. You had a great relationship, but in the end it just wasn't meant to be. But there will be another day, and you'll get back in the game. Charlottenian chooses to burn the gifts his hypothetical girlfriend gave him. Others, like myself, will simply put them up high in the closet and pull them down from time to time just to remember. You might run into her in the supermarket, and you may not be ready to speak to her yet. Just remember the good times you had and know that each day you wake up is a day closer to next season!

:D

I'm mostly over it now. Sounds hard to believe but I've learned after last season that despite all the cheering or complaining I can do as a fan, I don't have control over what my team does. Oh, sure, I can rant and rave on a message board all I like but that I can't devise gameplans, throw passes, run the ball and so forth.

Yes, I'm very disappointed it ended and in that way but I had no control over it.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
