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?

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
