The Huddle Stages of Coping with a Loss...

Recommended Posts

1. Retardation

"Fire Chud! Bench Cam! D-Will sucks! There goes the season!"

2. Rationalization

"We beat ourselves, they didn't win."

3. Acceptance

"Well, it was just one game. They play again next week."

4. Optimism

"We will destroy the Saints*!"

Sounds about right. Spot on actually.

Pretty much everything bad that happened on Sunday is a very correctable mistake. We didn't get rolled over and aside from the overly cute play calling (vs a very downhill bucs D), stupid penalties and lack of communication for blocking assignments we played a really good game and could have easily demolished that game.

Unfortunately this is the same stupid stuff that didn't sort out until week 9 last year. Lets hope a loss let's this team know that they need to clean up their play ASAP.

edit: I also forget that nobody really had any idea of what to expect from schiano. I can see how he's kind of like a fox 2.0, but I think he's a hell of a lot smarter and really toughens his guys up. They did not play soft read and react D like foxy loves. Even though he likes to run a lot he mixes things up with short passes and screens to keep 3rd down manageable... aka no 3rd and 18 draw plays...

I was upset we lost for a whole 10 minutes. Then started thinking about dinner.

I lol at people who let things like losing take a toll on their week and demeanor.

BUT THE PANTHERZ ARE MY LIFE BROSEF. YOU'RE NOT A TRUE FAN!

Yeah, I hate those people. 1 week, we should've won, we didn't. Get ready for Week 2.

    • I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.
    • holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
    • Well, if they know Tepper wants to keep Bryce there is an an implied safety net there in case he fails. A possibility that he will be empathetic and •maybe• not fire them.  If they go against that and bring in someone else and that fails they are in a much worse spot.  IMO.  And another factor may be that after all those years of instability and musical chairs pre Bryce there will likely be a feeling of security in knowing what they have.   Kind of like settling just to keep from going through the process all over again.     IOW I think he really needs to fug up bad to lose his job and change our course.
