I think Panthers fans need to be given credit for showing up yesterday and cheering just as if we were contending for the playoffs. I was at the game yesterday, the stadium was far from full but it was a much better showing than the Falcons game and people actually stood and cheered. I was shocked by the number of people that came and the amount of passion people showed. I'm glad this team was able to get one more win at home with the fans behind them.

Today's game wasn't on TV in upstate SC. Fox 21 didn't even have a 1:00 game on. Anybody around here know what happened? Never seen that. I was at the game, so I got to see it any way, but curious as to why it wasn't televised in Greenville.

Fox changed it to that game on their own accord. Dunno why.

There were a good amount of fans there yesterday given the situation, including myself and my wife's youngest brother (who by the way had a blast and who I am going to convert from a Steelers fan to the Panthers in time I'm sure). I was glad we were able to get a win (especially since it didn't hurt draft position) and see Fox go out at home on top.

The last 9 seasons have been overall very good if not great. Things have been a disappointment since the Arizona playoff game, and it was very fitting to have the Cardinals at home to close out the season since that was the start of Fox's downfall. That does not change the fact the the first 4 years were a rollercoaster ride of pure joy that will be hard to be duplicated.

We have a better fan base than most people would like to believe given our market size and amount of time in the league. The Panthers have certainly taken a hit this year on the national stage, but the demise of the Panthers overall has been greatly overexaggerated...

We still have a very profitable team, solid fan support, and an owner who is going to redeem himself after the CBA gets taken care of.

Oh yeah, and a chance to get a franchise QB for the first time since the Kerry Collins experiment. Long-term things look much better now than the did after the end of 2008...

It is kind of like the recession. No one wanted to believe the good times were over, even though all evidence pointed to it, myself included.

The Panthers went "All In" in 2008, and it didn't work out like we hoped. And what happened this year was put in motion after that, given the labor unrest and the fact we had been living dangerously in regards to the salary cap for years.

2010 has been the day of reckoning. 2011 will be the aftermath, which I am hopeful will be the path back towards the top.

I live in the Upstate. I was at the game but always record the game. I sent an email to Fox 21 and this is the reply I received: (also sent an email to FOX sports)----

FOX assigned us the 4pm game on Sunday. CBS had the double header, so we had no football to program at 1pm. The figure skating was actually a FOX program.

Next week we have the double header.

I have asked FOX to leave us on the Panther preferred list.

      Seahawks or Rams

      By Pantherxtreme · Posted

      Let's say we take care of business against the Bucs and/or the Falcons take care of the Saints and we lock that 4th seed for the playoffs. Who do we root for this Sunday in the NFC West matchup with Seahawks at San Francisco winner takes the NFC West division. A Seahawks win would mean we face the Rams at home or with a 49ers win we host the Seahawks again.  Which opponent would most prefer? In the earlier Rams game we won primary due to turnovers specifically Mike Jackson pick-6 in combination with a good running game with Chuba and Rico whereas we kept the Rams offense off the field and Bryce was able to connect on two big 4th down throws for touchdowns. However when the Rams offense was on the field they pretty much got whatever they wanted, Williams and Corum gashed us in the run game, and we had no answer for Devonte Adams. Granted whe were missing some pieces on defense with Horn and Moehrig. Against Seattle our defense held it's own for the most part, it was our offense and turnovers which aided in the Panthers loss.  Seattle was the most stingy, best tackling defense the Panthers have played all season, and when we turned Darnold over we didn't do much with it.  The offense had no answers for what the defense was throwing at them and apparently were caught off guard by the amount of man coverage the Seahawks played.  With all that who do you think would be the better matchup the 2nd time around? I trust Stafford far more than I do Darnold, both running games are on par with each other, of the defenses Seattle has the dominant unit.  I personally prefer Seattle again, that would mark their 3rd consecutive road game, we've just played them, so we know exactly what to expect, and I feel Caneles should be able to come up with a better scheme to counteract what the Seahawks defense was doing, and we may be able to trip Darnold up, I don't want to try and win another shootout against the Rams.

      I remember watching him at bama and thinking he throws a lot of wobbly non spiral balls that have very little velocity. Knew it would be a real problem in the NFL and it is.

      His wife makes great meatballs though. To be fair, he didn't hire himself here. He dazzled and bamboozled them with what they wanted to hear. He was going to be an innovative, program-builder, culture-installing football genius. They ate it up like those fabulous meatballs.
