Do you want the Panthers to win any more games this season?

[Mother Grabber]

Doesn't matter. JR is making his millions and could give a poo less about winning. We could have the #1 pick and Gettledouche will fug it up.

Gettleman has drafted very well, and I suspect he will continue to do so. stop with your blind hate.

[FuFuLamePoo]

i can never root against my team.

[Semaj]

Alright, I got to know.  Who voted that they believe that this is a super bowl team?  Inquiring minds want to know.  I made the votes anonymous.  Wish I didn't now.  

[ThPantherFan]

You play to win.  Nothing else is an option.

[Mage]

I can't bring myself to the point of ever actively rooting for the Panthers to lose but I am at the point where I couldn't care less what we do the final 5 games.  The season is a lost cause.

[2plankingpanther]

I hope we win but don't win enough to win this division.

We only have 20 years of history but how many fuging poo seasons we have already!?

that's what I'm saying,win the next 1 or 2 home games,hopefully it's good and cold too like in the 20s or 30s,i know you guys hate that kind of weather!It won't be enough to fug up draft position though!

[2plankingpanther]

 

 

Hell no.  Let there be no doubt, this regime has got to go and the only way it happens is if we get embarrassed the next 4 weeks. 

 

 

I went to the very first home Panther game ever and usually walk the company line but this bullshite has to stop and stop this year.  *** winning, gimmie a high draft pick and Ron's head on a platter with a side order of Shula fries.

Please give me an extra order of Shula fries to go out the door por favor!

With each win the chance or Rivera staying put goes from what is probably now 90% to 100%.  Make that a win or even a gatdayum tie.

 

If we lose all 4, in Biblical fashion, maybe.................just maybe, we will be rid of him.  Think about it. 

 

 

 

 

 

Just lose baby.

 

Do you think it's possible to get JR to retire into the sunset and get a new owner?

[Snake]

Need the option: yes, but I don't know if they can.

[2plankingpanther]

No sir.  We are at 8 currently.  Pulling for a Jets win tomorrow.  

No,1 position won't make a difference and since I grew up in Miami,I want the Dolpins to win!

[2plankingpanther]

for the long term bettermant of the panthers, you better hope Rivera gets fired. Whatever that takes.

Shula better get fired!

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Yes, for the players because they are taking the brunt of it due to subpar coaching.

However, as a fan I'm pretty much done with this season.

I will watch when able, but there are more important things to do on Sundays than wasting 3 hours watching some of the worst football ever played in the NFL.

I don't buy that's fans actually root for their team to lose during the game. Instinct and emotion take over at some point and you root for your team.

Let's say that next week we're up by six points against the Saints, it's fourth and goal with 7 seconds left and Drew Brees has the ball at our 8 yard line. You mean to tell me that there are people on this board that would be actively rooting for Brees to throw a TD? How is that possible? The look on Sean Payton's smug face as they kick the go ahead extra point would have me sick for a week.

I understand the desire to have a higher draft pick and more importantly, to be rid of Rivera and company, but I don't think I'm capable of rooting against my team. It's third and short and I'm at home hoping Stewart gets stuffed on the LOS. Not possible.

Now once we've lost the game and everything's over, I of course get to be in the position of looking at the silver linings, a higher draft pick, Rivera gone etc. But these are things that console me after a loss. Not something I'm considering during the game.

I don't mean to imply that those who prefer us lose out are bad fans. You're thinking about what benefits the team best long term. I get it. But as much as I want Rivera gone, what I wanted more was for Cam to come out in the second half today and brings up back for a victory. I want us to win.

I agree, in the moment fandom takes over and you really can't help root for your team to win. But to answer a question posed above, about whether or not rooting for your team to lose is being a good fan, I can only say I look at it as a tactical withdrawal to allow the team to regroup. If losing allows us a chance to acquire blue chip personnel, a coaching staff that knows how to use it, and to offer some glimmer of hope for a fan base that has been as abused as an NFL wife/girlfriend, then how can we help but root for the loss? When all hope is gone, there is only April to look forward to.
