Sincerely pleased with the loss

Original PSL holder here. I hold no loyalty to Cam, Rivera, or anyone else. My loyalty is to this city, state, region, and franchise. I want the Lombardi Trophy here someday (hopefully soon), and I don't like losing.

After the firing of Hurney however and the realization that Rivera is gone after this year anyway, not to mention the 1-5 start, my focus changed from this year to next year and beyond. I was very happy to see our energy, effort, and the fact that we pounded one of the best teams in football on their home field. I am also pleased with the loss today.

With Rivera gone anyway, I want our new GM, coach, and franchise QB (who I still believe can be the GOAT), to have as many assets as possible moving forward. Building a "winning culture" here this year (and a middle of the first round pick) does nothing when Rivera is gone anyway. I would much rather have the premium draft picks at this point, which can be used for game changers or multiple picks/additional assets.

I simply do not think we're further away from the Lombardi than we were 24 hours ago, we're closer. This Panther fan is sincerely pleased with this result all the way around, and is hoping for similar results in the last 9 games. JMHO.

Nice post. I'll agree on all counts.

we had like 450 total offense. Defens was all over Cutler most of the game. This against a 5-1 team on the road. And you don´t think we fielded a good product?

No, lets tank the season, fire the coach and start over again. The is the way to build a winner. Just ask the Browns...

To be honest I f**king hate losing. My heart hurts from watching so many close game be lost by poor execution on defense and offense and I just feel let down all week. Sadly, I'll keep watching because I'm a Panthers fan even if they play like turds or win the Super Bowl. I hate fair weather fans as much as I hate Saints and Falcons fans because they are one in the same to me. In the end, I don't mind losing as long as we don't get butt raeped because a high draft pick will only make this team better, it's just ridiculous how talented this team is to let execution get in the way of beating teams.

Should never be pleased with a loss. That mentality is bad mojo. We've proven that we have the talent to push two of the best teams in the NFL right now to the final seconds on the road. We have the players, we don't have the leadership. An early draft spot only goes so far...

For sure we are not going to tank, that's not what professionals do. Having Cam gives us something the Browns (and many other teams considering Cam's potential) have never had. If the season ended today, we might even be able to dupe them into giving us additional assets for Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, etc.

Go Browns! Jaguars! Raiders! Chiefs!

This was true until the GM was canned. The coach IS next, regardless!!! Our next GM and coach need those draft spots. Again JMO.

Moral victories don't count towards our W/L record.

      The only thing I said was he was part of the staff that made part of the decisions, and that I am judging the decisions made by that group as a whole. As assistant GM, you can pretty much guarantee his input held more sway than an intern or the guy that takes coffee requests. Fitterer didn't operate in a vacuum. Neither does Morgan now. While Fitterer did have the ultimate decision, to say that Dan had no input in ranking boards, evaluating FAs, trade offers or anything else would be asinine. We all know he did. Otherwise what the hell was his job as assistant GM? He wouldn't have been kept for 3 years if he was arguing every decision Scott ever made.    And the actual quote was "Morgan has done a bang up job in the draft and FA. Compared to what the last guy did, he is kicking ass and taking names." So is XL kicking ass and Brooks taking names from last years draft or did I get it backwards? We took Wallace over Payton Wilson because he was an injury risk after trading up for a RB with a torn ACL? Which one of the kicking ass and taking names was that?  Maybe we should review the thousands of gameday posts calling for XL to get off the field because he's a bust and can't catch a cold. We could review the posts about Brooks but... And Wilson. He's at 118 tackles this season vs 36 for Wallace.  I gave credit to Dan for a good draft this year. But I'm also not ignoring last year's draft either since he did that one after the last guy too.  That's not a strawman.

      And then, in week 18, we can take Mayfield out of the game and whoop Bridgewater's @$$ for good measure! Let the former QB revenge train roll on!!

      If we keep our guards in tact ($$$) and go with Mays at C, some OT depth would be nice. I think we should be happy about CB with Thornton's development (pre injury) and Smith Wade. I think Ransom is developing nicely, but I would like to see a FS type for situations. We suck at ILB and Edge (as a whole). We should be OK at RB.  I hope we sign Dowdle to a short contract. QB?  There are signs of hope and development.  (I don't like our backup QB) TE?  Good draft for TE, but I think we are developing with Evans, Sanders, and Tremble. WR?  A #2 with Coker and Horn in the slot.  XL?  What is that? We should be good in 2026. Morgan does more than draft.  Free agency has been strong too.  (Just emptying my brain on your comment--sorry)
