Of the games left on the schedule, this one would be the least painful loss...

Before you jump on my case with your bad juju nonsense, I don't believe in any of that crap.

 

So anyways, looking at the rest of the schedule, if the Panthers were to lose one more game (which is highly likely), the game tomorrow would be the one you would want to lose. On the road against an AFC team.

 

The rest of the games on the schedule are either at home, against a division rival, or both.

 

So, logically speaking, if you had to choose at gunpoint one game to lose from here on out, its Miami

 

 

That said, I think we win tomorrow. But just something to consider. A small part of me thinks if we need to lose one to get hungry and focused again as we are brought back down to earth, its against Miami.

If we win tomorrow and sweep the Bucs, we'll be sitting at 9-3. That's where I want to be rolling into the Saints game. We're on too much of a roll right now and I really hope we don't lay an egg.

I agree. That best time to lose mentality doesn't cut it when you are trying to win a division and put the league on notice.

The Panthers need to focus on this week alone and just win baby !

I don't know why but this game scares me more than the Monday Night game did last week. I don't see us winning the South unless we sweep NO. I am pretty sure they would own the tie breaker with points per game if we were to split with them. I think we would pretty much be even in all the other tie breakers if the season plays out with no surprises. So to me loosing here is not an option if we want to win the South.

People think if we lose tommorrow than suddenly people forget about us and wont take us seriously anymore. I totally disagree. The fact remains is every great team has a WTF kind of loss. The Colts got completely blown out by the lowly Rams in Indy and noone suddenly considered them a joke and pretenders. The fact remains a loss tommorrow means we are still 7-4 and still hold tie breakers over the entire NFC except the Cards and still would have that final WC spot.

The wins against NE and San Fran were huge in that it gave us a little wiggle room for error incase we do have a let down game we would stil be in a great position. The NE and San Fran wins gave us a nice little rainy day fund in the bank.

    • okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.  
    • Jackie, any more reps tomorrow, or is that it for this session?  thanks for the work
    • How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
