To those pondering the benefits of a 5 game Win Out vs. A 5 game Lose Out

[csx]

I'll celebrate the day Division Championships are the expected norm rather than the ultimate goal this fan base seems to be rather accepting of.

 

I won't celebrate, or even crack a faint smile, until we win 3 Super Bowls in a row. Division championships as a norm are for fans who settle for mediocrity!

Can't tell if serious. With the ups and downs of the NFL, divisional championships are always worthy of celebrating. It doesn't mean that's the only goal.

Believe it or not we still have a shot at back to back winning seasons. If Ron can some how win out I think, in my opinion, he deserves another year. If we continue our sorry ass play and get destroyed by the vikings or fug up like he did against the falcons ill be 100% done with his ass.

Pros:

Winning is winning and it feels good 

Chance at playoffs and losing in the first two rounds

I always want the Panthers to win

Bragging rights for winning the division 

First team to win the division in consecutive years

 

 

Cons:

Rivera/Shula 2015

Picking in the low 20's as opposed to top 10 (But we found KB hurrr, nor relevant)

The teams in our division will get much better

Those who hope for losses likely don't go to games, ever...

I go to every home game and if 5 loses=100% Rivera gone I'm all for it.

Well, if you're going to bitch about never having back to back winning seasons, you can't also want your team to lose.

 

One of the biggest problems with this franchise has been within the culture, the losing mentality has been here for too long.

I waited from February through a long summer for Carolina Panther Football. I am not ready to quit yet.

bawwwww the panthers are a loser organization and they suck and have never won back to back whatever-the-hell and blah blah

 

but, i want to lose out

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

yep i'm sure when everybody is watching the saints or falcons on TV in their shitass dome in the playoffs everyone is going to be on their couch going "whew glad that's not the panthers!"

[Montsta]

If we could be the first team to win a super bowl with a 6-9-1 regular season record I would laugh my fuging ass off.

Doing things the "Panther" way? lol

[The NFL Shield At Midfield]

the panthers, with their cobbled together roster of castoffs and UDFAs, becomes the first team in the history of the NFC south to win back to back titles.  the derek zoolander lookalike on the bayou with his hall of fame quarterback never did that.  mike smith and matt ryan (who are so unremarkable in every way that i can't think of anything to make fun of them for) couldn't pull it off either.

 

you have to build a winning tradition somehow and that's a good way to start.  if the panthers ever become the mid 2000s colts or late era schottenheimer chargers and make the playoffs every year but can't get over the hump then it's worth bitching about.

Post of the year.

I'll pass on winning and keeping Shula and not getting an elite LT. Watching Cam get killed play after play is not worth winning this season. I could care less about the playoffs or other fans singing chants. Most of the top contenders now got that way by losing year after year and drafting top talent
