To heal a wound....

i had that same feeling that it was over when you did that night against the cards. but when i mean "it's over" i didn't just mean for that game, i meant for that era. that was our last chance in the fox/jake era and i knew it. we all knew that window was closing and we were lucky to get that last moment squeezed in there. the team was old. it's players were old. it's philosophy was antiquated. when we lost, that was the end.

 

what's cool about this game is that this is just the beginning. no matter what happens tomorrow, this team led by cam, keek, and rivera is just getting started.

 

i feel like tomorrow will be a win for us, but if it isn't it will hurt, but not nearly as bad as '08 because i know that this team will be back and will be back better, angrier, faster, stronger, and more violent than before. what we have seen this year is only a glimpse of what is to come for the next 5-10 years, of that i am convinced.

 

First of all, really nice post Kurb. Very enjoyable and oh so true.

 

Rayzor, I had that exact same feeling after the Arizona game. We knew we had lost much more than one playoff game. You could see it, feel it, smell it. Something inside of us knew it was the end of an era.

 

And like you, I feel exactly the same about tomorrow. Win or lose, this team will be back with a vengence next year.

 

So 2 great posts in one thread, both putting into words what many of us felt but couldn't quite express. Nice job guys.

i was at that dreadful game and i remember just feeling so dumb. like how did i not see this coming and how could it have happened?

 

my entire sports confidence was shook.

 

i hope by the start of the 2nd quarter we are up 3 td's. i don't want a classic ending. i want a total destruction of a team i despise as much as i do a dentist.

For those who have not realized. I am king klong. The bar was then called tavern on 2nd. I watched Kurb take the pain as I took it myself. That season, I came up with my fangs mask. To show my teeth. It worked well for MNF which Kurb helped me score tickets too. It ended up being something to hide behind though as the wound was inflicted.

Like many country boy before me, my wounds were not stitched. They were left to heal on their own. I've been picking the scab, and it is finally gone. I now have a beautiful scar to show off on game days. One that shows I have been here all along. One that lures the hottest girls and scares the biggest boys. I will not sit down. I will not be quiet. I will defend my home and it's team. And I will see them win!

I was at that game.  I remember a great Huddle tailgate.  The city was hyped.  There was a full moon over Charlotte.  Then...all I remember is being numb.  It was just numb.

 

This team is different. These coaches are different.  This team is on a mission.  Panthers got this.

Not to sound whatever, but I was at that Saints game. It was the day before my mom passed away. It was the most fun I have ever had at a sporting event. And that game, forever will remind me of my mom.

It will, to me, probably forever be the must special game for me. For a lot of reasons, including that same feelings expressed by Kurb.

that Arizona game was the reason why i found this site, because i needed help with dealing with that lost. i was pissed, ashamed, and just couldnt figure out how a team look that bad, and unprepared. they literally ran the ball down their throats on that first series, and stopped on the next series. that was bread and butter, why bail on the run so fast. played soft coverage on Fitz and Boldin and Kurt picked this defense apart.

 

i just hope this team is ready to play its most complete game today. you have to take your game up a level in the playoffs.if this team wants this respect/win, you have to go take it.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
