Panther fans coping with the fact their team won the division and beat multiple playoff teams on the way is pretty hilarious. "Lost to the Saints" is cope for "beat the Rams and Packers".

Had we lost the 3 way tiebreaker of the 8-9 NFCS titans, we’d have been picking 13th. 
The year before Bryce (2022), we earned the 9th pick. 
 

In three years, after all those resources poured into it, we picked up 1 game record wise and (easily could have) picked 4 slots away from our 2022 results. 

People that wanted this… wtf? 
 

I can agree that relying on things beyond our control when we had the capacity to firmly establish our own hold on the division at a time when the division has been at it's lowest point in many years is mediocrity at absolute best. And a small group of people trying to awkwardly use the opportunity to dunk on anyone applying legitimate realistic skepticism of the circumstances is borderline cult like.

Overall there seems to be an even split of glass half full glass half empty sentiment within the fanbase. I'm teetering between both until I see how we navigate the draft and FA. If we land a solid draft class and solid FA class and actually strengthen the QB room I'll be quite optimistic of our outlook going forward. But as any long time fan of this this franchise knows full well seeing is indeed believing. No benefit of the doubt for anyone involved has been earned yet.

It is simply a team that is unable to beat the teams they should beat. If they do that, no convoluted tiebreaker needed, and a justifiable winning record. 

Team was 8-10 on the year and showed progress. But let’s not get carried away and throw a parade because of some fluke tiebreaker result. 

We finished 1-3 coming out of a bye and 3 of those were ‘must win’ games. Only Seattle was not a must win. So we finished 1-2 in must win games and backed into the playoffs due to a fluke. 

Generally speaking most teams drop a couple they shouldn’t and win a couple they shouldn’t. And that is what happened with our 2 wins over playoff teams. We stole a couple. 
 

it was good that we did that, but a true good team does not get swept by the Saints, with a QB making only his second start in that first game.  
 

That is what losing teams do. I have seen enough losing teams to know that. 
 

Aside from that, I understand the thought that we have arrived and now we should expect to win every week. But I don’t really agree that we are there yet.

I understand the FO and coaching staff need to take that posture around the players, but I am worried if they really believe that and start making moves based off of thinking our window is open NOW. .  
I think one more season of acting as if we are building and the window is yet to open, would serve us better. 
You know, afraid we are gonna start doing ‘win now’ moves and undermine the build. 
 

We are really set up to take a step back now, with this harder schedule, with the unexpected Icky injury, and still with a lot of holes.

I found a place that said 3rd round. I stopped there. That might be more realistic than getting a 1st or 2nd round player for ILB. And He is a little small.

 He fits in Carolina, go get him. Exactly what we value in a QB.

When you have to throw the ball upwards to get flagged for intentional grounding.
