I’m Frustrated. And Yet, I’m Proud

Ok, definitely NOT what people on this place want to see or hear right now, but I’m proud of the progress the Panthers have made. We’ve won more games than any other year since 2017, which was over half my life ago. While it wasn’t much, the wins over the Packers and Rams gave me that special feeling that I hadn’t felt since Cam. 
 

Obviously there is still much to be desired. We had a losing record this year. A few of the games have been completely unwatchable. But it’s good to see progress after years of backtracking and stagnation.

I'm Frustrated I didn't get to sleep in time, was up the first quarter (but didn't watch). But I'm proud to know I have nothing to do with whether we lose or win. btw, my boy(falcons fan) had me up until gametime...hoping  karma (the refs not letting us replay down) bites tomorrow.

There was no expectations for this team, so enjoy the honeymoon phase while it lasts. There will actually be expectations for next year and idk how much we'll improve by. You can't count on winning all of the close games we did next year 

Ummm we were 7-4 in one scores after today regression to the mean is losing one more basicy

Ummm we were 7-3 in one score games after today's loss...

Wins- Miami, Dallas, NYJ, GB, ATL, LAR, TB. That equals 7..

Losses- Cards, Saints, Bucs.  That equals 3 

They even showed a diagram on the broadcast that we had the third best record in one score games. Get your facts straight before you talk out of your ass.

I'm not proud of a team who choked 4 times to get to the playoffs. Yet another losing season under Tepper and we're about to extend one of the worst QBs in the league. 

That's the biggest take away that I get. Panthers had 4 opportunities to win this division. Even when Tampa was gift wrapping it to us. That's the most frustrating thing. Who cares if we beat GB, and the Rams? We also lost to the Bills 40-9 and the Patriots 42-13, so what does that say? We couldn't beat the Saints ONE time, and that's all they needed. All we've proven is that we cannot win games that matter the most, which honestly, is most games.

Progress? Some. Proud? Not at all. I hate anything mediocre at anything and this fan base has been too accepting of being mediocre.  It's sad AF.  

DC should be fired and honestly he's one of the worst gameday managers I've ever seen in all my time being around football. How dudes like him even get a HC job boggles my mind and really drives me truly believing in white privilege being blatant sometimes.  No other logical reason for DC to be a coach in the NFL, he's terrible at it.  

Say what you will about Belichick but that fuger was one of the best at gameday managing, gametime adjustments and finding mismatches.  I have never seen that from this coaching staff or Tepper teams.  Those things single handedly win you games other than the players executing properly, which is also the HC job!

If people are proud of this team than I would hate to think what other things in life your willing to accept.....

Yeah I am so proud that we had what, 6 or 7 “championship opportunities”? WTF does Canales call them? 
 

Every week we’d have one, every other week we’d lose one, but somehow this ridiculous logic would have us right back in that championship opportunity saddle.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
