I didn't know so many of you wore panties......

[jim stone]

Jimmy Clausen --- Cam Newton

Dwill & Stew on IR --- Dwill & Stew better than ever

89 discontent & wanting out --- 89 rejuvenated & having a career year

Jeff King --- Shockey & Olsen

Otah on IR --- healthy & good o-line

bottom of the barrel D --- young & talented, yet undisciplined D

Fox & Davidson --- Rivera, Chud, & McDermott

JR depleting roster --- JR pulling the trigger on Cam & resigning/extending ALL core players

Seriously! How much improvement does it take to satisfy you ungrateful bastards? Look at the drastic improvements in our roster, coaching, & owner's demeanor over the past 9 months.

Our team had 1 freaking month to implement a totally new offense, defense, & philosophy. Cam had 1 freaking month of preperation. Rivera is a freaking rookie HC.

In 9 months, & a ridiculously short offseason, the Panthers have gone from the NFL's worst team to one that is a few pieces away from winning the Super Bowl. And it's coming; this group will win the Super Bowl. Stop all the nonsense & enjoy watching this team's growing pains as they transform into an elite team & Super Bowl Champions.

Either grow a pair, buy a pair, steal a pair, or just quit fronting & put on panties. All this bitching needs to stop.

Ws. All that matters.

This team has kept the games close against some of the better teams in the league. The loss margin is now down to 3pts, instead of the 7 that we lost to before. But now the next 4 opponents are B and C list teams -Atl, Wash, Min & Ten. I dont think any of those teams are the caliber of what we have faced to this point. I am not going to predict 4 wins but how can one not be optimistic about our chances? We lost against some very good opponents, what is going to happen when the opposition isnt so good? The middle of our schedule is lookin ripe to pull a few wins out of, then a few divisional game to end the season. December is going to be tough, but a little momentum goes a long way...

most of these clowns would rather bitch than see the positives

good thread

This year the record is pretty insignificant to me.

Next year and the next decades record is VERY significant to me

[Cat'sGrowl]

Wait, is this just another one of those "entertaining losses" threads.

Don't care.

Thank You

Regardless of record, showing love for a team that is overachieving is borderline euphoric and far more entertaining than struggling to remain upbeat for one that is consistently underachieving.

The passion and fire is back. Everything else tends to follow.

Not many people want to adjust their expectations, which is their right . But I will say that comparing this year's 1-4 to last year's is somewhat unfair. The saints kicked our asses last year at home. As much of the teams we played on a weekly basis.

But I won't try to convince anyone of my way of thinking. It sucks losing, but for the life of me I refuse to believe that team is no better than it was last year. Can't and wont

I think you are right about that. This team is more exciting and frustrating to watch than last year. This year we compete every week and there is the expectation we could win and like yesterday should win. Exciting because we can score points and move the ball, frustrating because we can't stop anyone and let them move up and down the field at will.

Don't get me wrong, compared to last year when you felt like if you got behind by 3 points you couldn't come back, this team is eminently better. But I can't say I am happy or content to see us lose every week especially when much of the damage is self-imposed. This team has raised the bar for our expectations. Last year I pretty much wrote the year off, this year not so much. People who say that we are no better than last year are just fishing for an argument or are Jimmy apologists scrapping to save a shred of face.

I'm neither happy nor content with losing. That will NEVER happen. The walk from the stadium to the car sucked. Especially the who day chants. I also realize that improvement matters. Winning matters most though, but reality is, we aren't there yet

[Dpantherman]

I had a moment sitting in the stands watching our team walk off after a failed 3rd down up 4. I said they (the saints) are grind it out and leave little time for us while scoring. We had our shots. All the shoulda coulda wouldas. One day idk when, we'll close those games.

That is correct, right now we are the team with lots of potential. But until that is realized there is no reason for people not to bitch and complain. After all unrealized potential and 2 bucks might buy you a cup of coffee but otherwise, it isn't worth much. Only when it get realized and translates into better play and eventually to wins, does it matter. We are still 1-4 despite the fact we might be the best 1-4 team out there.

Lots of truth in the last half dozen posts in this thread.

[Happy Panther]

You have to win now in the NFL when you have the pieces.

Our record last year is immaterial as is next year.

Ooey gooey!!!!!! I hope the players feel just like you!!!!!! Hell, they can just practice on Sundays and forfeit the game. JR will save tons on game costs, but lose out on ticket prices. Poooor JR.
