The Panthers Bought The Hype!!!

Take a look at this quote from Jordan Gross.

On what happened after the first drive: Without seeing the tape, that first drive kind of summed up how we thought the game would go. We went right down the field, scored, ran the ball well.

The first drive is how they "thought the game would go." That reeks of overconfidence, which is vastly different from confidence.

It seems that the Panthers believed what many in the media were saying all week. They believed that the Cardinals should just be happy to be there. They believed that they would not have to fight for the game.

Maybe that first drive was the worst thing that could have happened last night.

I think he is just sayin that they expected to play at a high level and win the game in convincing fashion.

Then the 2nd quarter happened.

hell- We all bought the hype- I did. I was confident. I was worried about our defense, but I NEVER would have thought Jake was going to throw 5 INT's

I don't buy that for one second, AK. When you intend to play the game at a high level, you make comments like, "We were going to fight for every yard," and "We were going to work harder than the other team." You don't say that you expected the game to be like your 5-play, 50 yard opening drive that put 7 on the board with ease.

There is a big difference, and I think the Panthers crossed the fine line between confidence and arrogance.

      Especially with no other major sports in the area other than UNCW basketball and soccer. It's a good 2 1/2 hour drive just to catch a collegiate football game. If this new arena were built I would hope it also includes an Adult League - I would join up and time allowing would be more than happy to help coach some youth teams. 😄

      That was real fear in his eyes when the rope was being taken. My younger days, I had my best friend that happened to be black come over all the time. I had the nicest bulldog on the planet, my friend Damon was scared to death of him. His grandmother and daddy taught him to fear all dawgs and seen the same fear in his face and voice.    I think alllll young kids should take swimming lessons and not fear the water. Very thankful my parents did this, I no longer get in the ocean since its 50% sewage. But I enjoyed all the lakes, pools, and oceans I swam in.

      My personal opinion is the non-guaranteed contract is the main reason for NFL success. MLB and NBA players are on cruise control after their big contracts and it shows in the product.  NFL is each year you are fighting for your job. Same for the majority of the public.... You get lazy or try to coast after the 100+ million contract, your ass will be cut within 1-2 years. Then the next one will not even touch 100 million+. Besides a few NBA players like Kobe was coming for blood with a 300 million contract or 1 doll hair deal. Brandy Beal just reached a buyout where he was getting 110 million, many other cases..... I dare say his name for the hornets guy..... MLB sooo many times as well.    If the NFL starts fully guaranteeing all contracts, Id have a new hobby to fill the hours of entertainment NFL gave me.
