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.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.

      The Panthers’ Bryce Young Problem is Getting Old

      By jbland · Posted

      I agree that he should’ve never been the pick at 1. In my 44 years I’ve never seen a team invest that much in a QB who is my size. I’m not meant for the NFL and neither is he.    Accepting we can’t change the past, I think it’s the correct call to keep playing him hoping that he will prove us wrong. I think we were dumb not to draft a QB this past year and let him learn and compete but that’s our reality.    I’m hoping this is the last year with the BY experiment and he deliverers us 1. To the playoffs or 2. The number one pick and we draft a real QB.

      In his first interview after the surgery he sounded absolutely miserable.  Man that must beat you down to have that done
