Fear and regret. The first is of the future, the latter is of the past. You guys are going to get real tired trying to live two lives, one with what is actually going on and the other one concentrating on things you can't do anything about.

I say fuc k it! We winning the GODDAMN Super Bowl and until it doesn't happen I am whistling a happy tune out of my ass everyday until we are eliminated.

Then next year....wash, rinse, repeat, wash, rinse, repeat...I am fairly young...I can wait until it happens. Fuc k fear and regret.

2012 Carolina Panthers Super Bowl Champions regardless of what happens in week one.

talib has done a very, very good job against steve smith over the past couple of seasons. has he gotten a touchdown against them since the monday night game in 2008? (maybe one, i think in 2009, but that was against some dipshit nickel corner, and even i could see the mismatch from the stands, and even matt moore was able to make the TD throw on the quick slant.)

baron will be a top five safety in the league within a year or two.

rhonde sucks donkey balls and should've retired two years ago but he's still decent in coverage and there's enough good tacklers on that defense that he won't be stuck in run support by himself.

our best bet is to pound the ball and kick their asses with play-action to take advantage of barber's age and baron's inexperience.

I can't believe more people haven't been discussing the season-opening popcorn fart in 2005 since Fiz brought it up in the OP. We were a much better, more talented team than the Saints* (who were also one of the worst teams in the league that year) and we couldn't beat them. Then two weeks later we lose to a Dolphins team led by Gus Frerotte, scoring 27 points on our defense. Sandwiched in between those two blunder games was a win against the defending super bowl champion Patriots where we limit Brady and the offense to 10 points.

This was my reaction to the first quarter of the 2005 season

that was 2010 on a 4th and short play. the bucs sold out against the run and yeah it was a quick slant that smith took to the house.

don't forget entering the fourth quarter up 19 against a poo green bay packers team on monday night football only to watch them score 16 unanswered points before we finally got a stop and won by 3.

tampa secondary scares the poo out of me. they're going to surprise people. i'm not even remotely comfortable going into this game.

It depends on how much Cams accuracy and discipline has improved. If Steve Smith is healthy we will have targets for Cam.I think the underneath routes will be there if we take what the defense gives

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
