Yesterday was the earliest I've ever left a game and it was the most embarrassing game I've sat through (part of) since the Arizona playoff game. I was gone somewhere between Mike Goodson's TD and Clausen taking his 5th sack- well before the 3rd quarter was done. I actually drove the 2+ hours home and saw most of the second half of the Dolphins-Jets.

There was nothing enjoyable about being in that stadium yesterday, but it was nice to see the Falcon fans having a good time since they basically had the stadium to themselves. I can't even get upset with the stupid Falcon fans who act as though it's a huge accomplishment to beat a 1-12 team.

I usually give every game a couple days to settle, but this entire season has done the job on me. I will not be attending the Arizona game next week. I'll probably have a couple tickets up for sale for anyone interested in seeing the final home game of a Panthers team that will go down in history in 2010.

I'll probably offer up half of my tickets or more for next season when that comes up. Splitting the season's tickets is the best way to see a couple games a year without reminding me how bad of an investment the PSL was.

You guys are taking this season to seriously. It will be over soon and we have no where to go but up. The off season will be very interesting and serious changes will be made. Next year you will once again be glad you have the PSLs.

Or...we won't get better and we'll continue to flounder. Let's hold off on the "factual future optimism" until something actually happens.

I hear ya Anybodyhome..... yesterday was the first time ever I actually thought about staying home. My son had a basketball game, wife was gonna bring him and I tried all week to find somebody to go with me to the game. Everybody either had plans or just didnt want to go, so I was going to go with my 6 yr old daughter. She had been to games before but not in the kind of weather they were predicting. That being said, I was just gonna stay home, save my money from not paying for parking, food, etc. Well I couldnt do it :cool: Was laying around the house in the AM, was about 11am and I had to go to the stadium..... so I suited up, got my daughter bundled up and off we went.

The only enjoyable part of the game was hanging with my daughter and she had still had fun. She loves going to the stadium. At about 5:30 min left in the 4th qtr I was ready to bail and she was like "no", "we are stayers", "we are not leaving till the clock says zero"..... I have taught her well :-)

That being said, I dont care anymore, no longer expect a win nor a good game so its easier to be there and just watch. I will be hanging on to my PSL for ever and look forward to when this franchise turns it around.

I'm sorry, I just can't get past this statement.

Neg rep for quitting on your team.. As long as the players are still out there trying I'll be cheering for em NO matter how bad we are.

Nope, you are sadly mistaken. I have invested thousands of dollars in the BOA building and the team. My name is on one of those Panther statues outside the gates. Just as Jerry leaves early or no-shows, so can I. So try "negative repping" Jerry since he's missed 10 times more games than I have....

Or doesn't my money work as well as his? Not the same or not as good?

      Noah Fant? "Perfect fix?" More like imperfect fix.

      He has been a starter most of his career.  Why does anyone thing he would willing come here to be our 3rd TE?

      I've liked him since his rookie year as a prospect, but when he's been asked to play in a large capacity, he has simply not done well.   He does not really add anything, rather muddies up the room.  Fant is TERRIBLE as a blocker, a pure receiving TE.   Let's just put Tremble aside since he's PUP (although I still like him as a TE2, but yeah he's not our future starter)... Sanders has already shown better receiving skills than a Fant and has a nice ceiling.  Not to mention, he's got in-line run blocking skills.  I really want to see what he's capable of this year.  Also has a year+ experience now in Canales' offense, not to mention legit chemistry with Bryce. And after Sanders, I also imagine our staff is waiting to see how Mitchell Evans looks in camp as he's got the in-line blocking skills.  If he looks fully capable of filling in behind Sanders, then I don't see a need.  Overall, keep an eye out on early August moves.  They are usually soft indicators of how staff's view their rookie late rounders and roster overall.  This is a wait and see what the market presents and how they think their unit looks in camp.

      Every team has different needs of the backup QB.   On some teams a young hopeful makes sense and on others an old worn out dude makes sense.  We are a little more in the in-between IMO where you probably would prefer a Fields, Pickett, Howell type IMO.   So a young disappoint that you there is still some hail mary hope in.....given BY essentially was benched both seasons for performance (I know that's not the official line going into Seattle but I think most would agree he got a break and should of been benched later that year).  I know we want Bryce to be the week 17 guy all season this upcoming year.  But it's still in the reasonable thought process that the other dude could show back up.
