I mean idk how many people thought we would get to 8 wins, let alone have the chance to get to 9, 10 wins.

 

I wasn’t thinking 8+. I’m still critical of our GM, DC and QB but we’ve won big games and we’ve got a good chance at the playoffs. Way more than expected but just my pet peeve that I still get annoyed like we are all set and all’s good. The AFC North is the only other division where we’d be close (1 game back) and we needed Tampa to fall apart (1-6) to get in this win the division chance in week 18.

Job isn’t close to done and the current crew needs to improve a lot to get us to SB contender.

If we don't make it to the playoffs, it will be hard for me to call this season a win. 

My son and I had great seats for the Bryce scramble/Sanders TD and the game ending interception. It was awesome but damn it if the loss to NO didn’t hit harder knowing we would have clinched at the game.

I too watched the game with my son. We had an absolute blast. I think I may have fractured my thumb along with losing my voice during the game. It was all worth it. I just got home actually. Best Christmas gift I have had in years.

To be playing a meaningful game on the final game of the season is definitely a win.  I think our goal this season was to be competitive each game.  While we got blown out a few times we also beat some of the best teams in the league.

We're home this week and if our fans come out and really get after the Seahawks our Panthers are going to be so hyped up, we're going to break the see-saw season.

People have different standards. For me this season isn’t a win unless we win the division and make the playoffs. Because if we don't it will be largely because we couldn't split with the Saints and that is to me an embarrassing failure considering the state of the division.

Win the next two games and erase all doubt.

I look at it like, you have to go back to 2017 pre Tepper to have more wins than Canales gets as HC. Rivera had 11 in 2017, slipped to 7 in 2018, and we know the rest.  
 

That is kind of a big deal to me.
 

We are ahead of where I expected, position wise, even if it is due to TB folding in the second half of the year. Bottom line, we are assured of playing for the division title on the last day of the season. I don’t ask for more, on a year to year big picture basis. Give me that every year for the floor - I won’t revolt. 
 

I don’t know if it’s really a win any more than getting playoff game will be a win, unless they actually win it, but I would say we have had a positive year, exceeded most expectations.

please follow the current boring rule about one week at a time, when whatever the off-season happens it will last for months, plenty of time to post about the season then. 

Last week there was fuging people posting about playoffs being a lock- ONE WEEK AT A TIME.

 For the first time since the 2018 playoffs panthers are in the hunt/race, bonus is leading the NFC south. 

Off-season has plenty of dead periods to suck each other off.....

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
