Panthers finally lost their cherry

What you saw last night was terribly disappointing, but as a long time observer of the NFL, I have to say....you're lucky it hasn't happened until now. Every team suffers disappointment in the playoffs. Every franchise. The Panthers have been extremely fortunate in that department...until now. But no one is immune to the parody that rules the NFL.

The 49ers are 5-0 in Super Bowls, but ask them about all the heartbreak they used to suffer in the early 70s at the hands of Roger Staubach, or all the NFC Championship defeats at home. The Cowboys have won five SBs as well, but their list of heartbreaking postseason defeats is as long as anyone's. The Steelers? They were great in the 70s, but before that they were the Cardinals. Since then they have lost five or six AFC Championships at home.

There is only one franchise that hasn't suffered this heartbreak in the postseason...the Houston Texans. Would you trade places with them?

That's exactly what I eluded to in another thread. We've been fortunate thus far and the game last night was probably overdue. We've been spoiled for along time and it kinda shows with how everyone here on the board has responded. With our running game next year, steve smith and select defensive stars we have a team that will compete for awhile.

Actually, the Texans appear to be a franchise on the rise, and they beat us last year. They are making changes to improve themselves. We keep doing the same things with the same people and expecting different results.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
