How can a loss when your team is 1-9 still hurt?

I don't know, but I do know that the game today did hurt. I really thought that we had a chance today. I even said so Monday (http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/50466-i-think-we-beat-cleveland.html)

We did not play great, but we played ok and we should have won that game. I knew Jake owed us at least a pick 6 and he delivered.

Kasey has been with us from day one, but he has caused me some pain over those years. I will never forget that last kickoff in the SB.

I know it is not his fault. I am just pissed! I know that we are still in the running for the #1 pick in the draft, but damn... it would be nice to have won this one.

I know this is rambling, but this was one of our best games of the season (except for our 1 win).

This was the game I hung my hat on... My God here comes 1-15 again.

Also, can we get Steve Smith the ball somehow more than 3 mother f'ing times per game.

I am sad.

I just laughed after Kasay missed that kick.

It was just so frustrating.

We should've won, but we just weren't allowed to.

Phantom penalties by the refs, poor replay reviewing on that first LaFell catch, and then right off the upright, it's like no matter what we did we just weren't allowed to win.

I stared in shock

Was Frustrated.

And then I just made myself laugh, just because.

I'm still angry.

I was extra angry because I'm in a huge money pool for pick 'em and the numbers are dwindling. Most people picked Cle over Car, I went with Pit over Buf (I have serious issues picking against us). That win would've really helped.*

*I would be mad even if it weren't for this

I had a chuckle myself as I turned off the set before the broadcast finished, as soon as the kick missed (after I waited to see a Fox/Delhomme or Smith/Delhomme greeting on the field which I didn't see).

I think this one stung because we were actually in this game down to the wire, with a realistic chance to win. There haven't been many of these this year so it was a different experience. But, I can accept losing a hell of a lot better than I could a month or so ago.

    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
    • Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people.
