The only point totals that matter are the ones at the end of a game. 

In 2003, we started off hot but got manhandled in game five by the Titans. People said that 'exposed us', but it just turned out to be a bump in the road. Individual games can be different than the overall narrative. 

Of course, to be clear, my view of this season's overall narrative doesn't have us in the playoffs or ending as an upper echelon team.

Steps in the right direction perhaps, but we're still not that good... 

I remember in a Super Bowl season for them, New England took an opening week ass whipping from the Bills. You see this type of stuff quite often early in the season. 
An eventual playoff team losing to a bottom dweller that comes out strong, isn’t that rare.

You have spent a chunk of this thread arguing the opposite. I am perplexed by your tactics.

Not at all.

I said the only thing that matters about how many points scored is who has more at the end of the game. If you're losing games, you're scoring less points.

The only time point differential matters is in some playoff scenarios.

after the last few seasons I don't really care. Being a competitive team on most weeks is good enough for me for now 

It feels like it's been 5+ years since we have had meaningful games in November...

I mean you literally are attempting to justify our -60 differential as unimportant in your first post in this thread.

Well, having a negative point differential(to the tune of -3.8/ppg) through 11 games is a very strong indicator of being a bad team. If anything, we have largely been overachieving stastically. 

The on field results also bear that out. So if we end up, and I think this is likely, as a 7-8 win team, with an even more substantially negative point differential at the end of this season how would this statistic not matter?

Point differential is the most basic statistic in existence that one can look at to largely guage the results. You do need to score more than your opponent to win.

Not many of us had this team winning 6 games this season. Im still in on going to the SB. We will probably play the Jaguars. We win it all. 

Eh, I was very consistent on my 4-7 wins prediction. Looks like the upper end of that is possible and maybe even beating those expectations. 

It's been better than I anticipated in a lot of ways this season.

      The problem with all those scenarios is typically that you don't find out the player is a problem child until too late. The team trading him to you has zero reason to be honest about that. Even his teammates are likely to be fairly tight lipped unless it is off the record or it has now become widely known how bad the player's attitude/issues are. Think about Brown specifically. He wasn't widely/publicly known as a nutbag until late in his career, although ample evidence existed prior to that point.  It makes sense. Like a teammate or not, it's not wise to be out there blabbering about locker room issues in front of the public. Not a way to endear yourself to current or future teammates.

      I don’t remember what I said this year. I had us winning 6 last year. I was optimistic a little.  I probably said 6 or 7. Wasn’t feeling optimistic so much this year.

      I mean if you look at Bryce’s stats before last week, he was ranked damn near the bottom of the league in every category so you can’t fault people for thinking anything positive is bogus. I’ve heard several analyst say they don’t know how to rank the panthers because we are a confusing team. One week we look like complete dog poo the next we win 30-0. Sure we beat a horrible jets team, but what was it, 13-6 or something like that? Beat the pack, but how good are they? They lost to us and the Browns and tied with Dallas, are they frauds? Would we have beat the bills with Bryce, I doubt it. Barely beat a 3-5 falcons team in OT and those seem to be Bryce’s best games. To me, the jury is still out and I’m optimistic, we beat SF and Bryce plays will il start to really believe.
