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.

      I want the following: LB - Devin Lloyd (our big money splash) I'm also interested in Nakobe Dean if we go the cheaper route. His size is a concern beside Wallace, but Dean is a Dan Morgan type of alpha leader of the defense. He's often called the heart of the Philly defense and would absolutely bring a swagger and be our field general on defense. We need this so badly and I'd almost rather go with him because Wallace is no guarantee to ever hit his potential, so maybe we go with Dean and find a Wallace replacement in on day 2. EDGE - Boye Mafe (SEA) I think he's a great blend of pass rush prowess, age and experience. We have our potential youngsters in Scourton and Umanmielen, let's add a vet from a successful franchise to bring some heat. Bye bye Wonnum....bye bye Jones. We roll with Mafe-Scourton-Umanmielen TE - Cade Otton (TB) Again, we have youth in this position w/ Sanders and Evans. Sanders is tracking similarly to Ian Thomas (age/stats) and wonder if he will ever be the TE we thought we stole in the 4th round. Evans looks legit, but more of a balanced/blocker. Sign Otton, who Dave is familiar with and save some money by cutting Tremble. Also allows us to roll Otton-Sanders-Evans in 13 personnel WR - Wan'dale Robinson or Rashid Shaheed I wonder if either of these will be priced out of our range based on age and what they bring. We do already have a 5'8" WR with Horn, Jr. so I'd see the argument against Robinson. However, the latter is still only 25 and just hit a 1k yard receiving season with suspect QB play in NY and an elite talent in Nabers on the roster. SEA gave up two '26 draft picks for Shaheed and he has stepped in nicely for the 'Hawks...doubt they let him walk. I also saw Doubs on the FA list and wonder if he'd be what we need. We need a separator that can be a deep threat to keep defenses honest. TMac/Coker are the bigger receivers, but not necesarily guys that scare a defense....would Doubs be that guy? SAF I'd like an upgrade here and wonder if we wait out the FA period until the latter stages if someone like Ar'Darious Washington or Jaylinn Hawkins lingers and there's a discount later in the game. Nick Scott can F off and I hope he never suits up for us again.

      I just can’t see Morgan as being under the threat of unemployment at any time this upcoming season.  As little as ‘winning’ the division and making the playoffs impressed me, I think to Tepper it was like nectar of the Gods. A milestone for him. And the team did play well in the Wild Card. That has to buy him 2027. I would think. Unless we start 0-8 or something. Which I don’t believe will happen.

      I'm not arguing that Linderbaum isn't a better player than Mays, just that the difference isn't as much as people might think. At least not compared to the difference in cost between the two players will be. In any event, I don't expect the Ravens to let him get to the open market.
