Keeping your head on straight in the face of adversity does not mean you like losing.

Let's be clear about something. The buzzword(s) floating around this site since week two is "moral victory." if you try to bring up something positive about the future of the team, multiple adolescent posts pop up hurling wild accusations of "supporting losers" and "cheering for moral victories."

While asking where moral victories are recorded in NFL history may make you look pithy and wise and pad your rep with fourth-tier retard posters, the reality is you're missing the point entirely. No one cares about moral victories. I have not seen one post on this site that said we should take comfort in moral victories. That type of sentiment is simply not there.

The bottom line is this: just because a given poster isn't freaking out and calling for a olindo mare to be guillotined on mint street tomorrow doesn't mean that they have accepted losing. Denying that ron rivera is a little rat scurrying away to hide behind newton doesn't mean you are blind. Projecting talent development into the future doesn't mean you are happy with losing because there was a "moral victory" involved.

It means you have the foresight to understand that anything worth having does not come easy and that the road to greatness in ANYTHING is strewn with failure and shortcomings. No great man has ever graced the pages of history without first defeating repetitive failure; football is no different.

Some of you desperately need to apply this wisdom to your personal lives because daaaaamn.

All I know is we should be winning these games, and we are not. Winnable games should be won.

i agree, but this thread is about how having the ability to look at the team with long term success in mind does not mean you are a milquetoast birdbrain giggling over moral victories.

You realize they aren't going to respond in a positive manner to this post, right?

the problem isn't people who like moral victories or whatever

as we speak some logical and reasonable person is thinking they have a great new idea for a thread

the header will go something like "STAY POSITIVE EVERYONE!1!" or "fug THE HATERS FIND A NEW TEAM IF YOU HAVE ANY CRITICISM OF THE TEAM"

pie and rep from the usual suspects will follow, but its just the same poo that's been posted on the regular for the past few years

both camps need to just say what they wanna say and not act like you should react one way or the other

let it be

peace

some will, some won't.

if anything it'll serve as a filter to show who's a complete dick-for-brains and who isn't.

also it's amazing what a dose of common sense and rationale will do for an angry horde caught up in backwards groupthink. maybe it will be a source of perspective for someone. maybe happy panther will read it and back away from the cliff, and update steve smith's yardage stats again.

There have always been fans that overreact, but I swear Madden has tripled the baby factor in fans.

you mean the Panthers aren't supposed to win 42-3 every game and you never miss FG's within 55 yards????
