Not me.

 

Nope, can't even watch the game on TV.  All because somebody (it couldn't have been me, no really it couldn't) decided to make non-refundable plans that night without even thinking about it being Super Bowl Sunday.

 

All we knew was "hey, it's like, every few Sundays in the winter - it will be fun!".  Signed up without thinking about the impact to the Panthers.

 

So I'll just ask you in advance -- if/when the Panthers make it to the Super Bowl, I'm going to be a few hours behind watching the game on the DVR later that night.  So please don't post anything about the game until after I'm done watching, mmmmkay?

 

TIA.

hmm............does stuff like this happened to you in the past???

 

Because you sir................... just gave us a SB win !!!!!

 

You know they are going to win now since you are screwed!

 

One more thing...........if you want to see a reply  without any prior knowledge of what happened.

 

I suggest hidden ear plugs.......eye blinders and a seeing eye dog if you go out that day.

Yeah, it's just the way the schedule worked out for this gathering. It's not like I said, "hey, let me plan something on Feb 2, weeeeeee!".   

 

And there's no way I can get out of it, regardless of who's playing in the SB.  dammitdammitdammit.    And the bitch of it is there's going to be some jag-bag who'll be checking their phone or something during the event and will proudly spoiler it for everyone.  "for those of you wondering, the score is 58-0 what a game!"   

 

Did I say jag-bag?  I meant ass-hat.

 

Don't be that guy.

I don't know what kind of plans you're making but they can be broken no matter what. I watched Panthers - NYG in 2006 dodging terrorists to get to the big tent in Baghdad so I'm sure you can do it too :)

 

If it were just me affected, no doubt -- plans would be changed in a heartbeat.

 

But there are others involved, and if I cancel then other people will be out some $$ that wouldn't make it fair to do to them.  So I'm committed and have to follow through.

 

DVRs are my friend.

I saw the title and thought, "oh hey, another d-bag boasting about going to a big game."

 

Then I read the thread, and kinda like OP. Good, honest guy, placing others before him. Much respect brotha. 

 

Granted, I can't imagine hanging out with males (I'm assuming some will be there) and not checking up on the Super Bowl. Or in that case, watching it, since I'm assuming you'll have a TV somewhere in the vicinity. 

 

If you're really gonna DVR then watch it later, and the Panthers are playing, without checking ESPN and whatnot. You sir, have some incredible self-discipline.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
