"All I know is this team knows how to lose"

[j2sgam]

We all have become very good at seein the end game before it happened... Was watchin the game with my mother- & brother-in-law. At the 4th& 1 play I was screaming at the TV "Take it.. End it..." I knew it was a mistake to give them the ball with no TOs and the length of the field... The were tryin to disagree with me, thought we were going o win... "Fuggin tried to tell yous..."are the only words I could say....

I did the "We just fuging lost" speech when Cam was tackled on the third down play. Knew RR would punt and Bucs would march down the field.

The whole organization from top Down just reeks of mediocrity and a losing mentality. I've endured every season and almost every home game since Clemson and honestly for the first time there is just nothing more to say until the major decisions are made. I'm beyond apathetic and finally realize what it is to be a browns fan or worse. I just can't say anything anymore about them. It's shtt...the fo, coaching, cap, player mentality, lack of any cohesive image, just downright crap. Really, there is nothing more to add about this season. The coaches refuse to help a vulnerable and emotional young qb with so much freaking upside and it's become just crap.

i hate to agree...but i have to.

i think the future of the franchise is in Accorsi's hands right now.

who he suggests and can sell JR on as far as GM and HC and who he can talk into coming here will in a sense dictate the direction the team is going to go.

everything depends on who Accorsi helps us hire.

imo, this is a much better strategy than anything we have done in the past....at least since the franchise began. JR trusted too many people in house to make crucial decisions. they proved to be inept and helped create this culture of mediocrity.

i know it sounds a bit overdramatic, but this is a watershed moment in panthers history.

i've got faith that things can turn around.

The Bucs are who we thought they were...we let them off the hook! :growl:

[Way Truth Life]

I called it too....I never dreamed they would give up the 2 point conversion though.

I've lowered the bar...

2012-2013 will be a success if one of our players doesn't take out a full page ad predicting a superbowl....If the season starts without such an ad, I will celebrate

On the sidelines yesterday, there were some people celebrating with a few minutes left. Media type people. I told them the Panthers would lose this game. They laughed at me, said there was no way, and asked why I thought so.

"All I know is this team knows how to lose" I said.

I went on to explain that the offense would fail at trying to run the clock, there would be some mental errors, and V-Jax or Clark would end up winning the game.

They looked in amazement at me as all I said came true, but really, anyone that had been paying a little attention all season long saw it coming.

This losing stench is going to take a few seasons to wash away I am afraid. At this point, one can't help chalk it up to karma for the 2010 intentional tanking of the season by JR.

Pass the bourbon.

I agree with you 100% plus. I've been saying what you stated about this team from since last season. I sensed it from the first few games I've watched. A team that has resigned themselves to losing mentally doesn't know how to win. They simply hope to win. What is so sad is, this team doesn't realize it. You can't hope to win. You have to know how to win. Even worst is, the mentality is not only with the players but seems be with the coaching staff also. It's like some kind of negative Karma surrounding this team.

I feel your pain because I kept looking at the clock on Sunday and hoped that the Panthers wouldn't figure out a way to lose the game. It's not even about opponents anymore with this team. It's simply feels like this the mentality of this team is, don't know how to win. They play like losers hoping to get away with a win. I hope the team realizes it's real problem and fixes it because individual talent alone is not going to help this team.

I hope they do not promote Beane to permanent gm - was reading an article about him in the local paper a few days ago - the guy thinks he has a shot at it and is apparently one of JR s favorites.
