I have made the ultimate sacrifice for the Panthers success this season.

I'm not usually a superstitious fan. But this season I have had to give up something dear to me for the greater good of the team. Let me explain.

Week 1, I was at home with my daughter while my wife and son ran to the store to pick up some much needed supplies in the 2nd quarter. Once they left, Cam gets picked and Luke gets injured. It was a dark time. When my wife got back halftime had just ended, she put up groceries while I was explaining what she missed and she sat down in MY Lay-Z Boy Double Recliner. THE NEXT PLAY... NORMAN... PICK 6... RIDING DELTA!!! She remained in the recliner for most the rest of the game and we got the W.

The next week: 1st quarter she sat on the couch... No luck for the Panthers. Then she got up to get a drink, sat down with me for a minute... BOOM! Ginn TD! She got up to get our son some lunch... Cam gets picked at the endzone. I started to see a pattern.

This went on for the past 5 weeks. If things got too bad I would move to the old rocking chair a little closer the the TV and invite her to take my recliner. She sits down.... Something good happens for the Panthers.

Fast forward to Sunday Night. I made sure she started the game sitting in my chair and things went great! Then it was bed time for the kids. She got up to do the bed time ritual and Cam throws a INT/Fumble/Ginn Catch? Everytime she would get up, Cam threw a Pick. The final straw was when she started having a hard time keep her eyes open and got up to go to bed... Kuechly down with (what looked like at the time) a serious arm injury. I (gently) asked her to sit back down and I would get out the old heated blanket and she could sleep there in my chair until the game was over. She laid down in the Lay-Z-Boy and Luke ran back on the field. 

 

TLDR: Every time my wife sits in MY Lay-Z-Boy Double Recliner, the Panthers do good. If she gets up or sits anywhere else, something bad happens. Now I'm stuck watching the games in eight an old rocking chair or sharing the couch with my two kids or 3 Corgis.

My girlfriend sat down to watch one play during the Saints game and it resulted in that punt return so I told her to beat it.

I told her she couldn't watch anymore (not like she was heartbroken) until we were trailing against Seattle at halftime. I felt like I needed to switch things up, the Panthers were down so I figured what the hell. I had her watch the second half and we won. 

I made her watch the Philly game even though, like your wife she was half asleep by the end of the 3rd. 

Point of the story, I feel your pain. I have to watch these games with my girlfriend now...

Hate to tell you but I'm doing poo at home during games that cancels out all your efforts (my personal Psychic assures me this is so), so relax and enjoy the games. Just don't watch while standing on your head, since that would cancel out all my doings.

I have no issues with watching the games with her as she as almost as diehard as I am. The problem in my comfort has been striped from me by the football gods.

    • Morgan still has a little John Fox in him. Got to value those RBs even though they have been devalued for around a decade now. Never go more than 2-3 years on a contract unless he is a superstar, never pay high money and never draft a RB high unless you are set everywhere else. We failed on the first and third rules.
    • This is some good solid logic. I still go back to the teams think tank and it includes the current Dan Morgan, each looked over the roster of holes and came to a clear conclusion that the RB needed improving. They could have gave the same 2022 Miles contract to Hubbard, but didn't. Next up Morgan trades up for a RB with sanders and Hubbard here in his last year. While the edge group is lead bye Charles "panthers are the only team that wanted me " harris Hubbard keeps grinding and improves along with the OL, *now* months after seeing brooks on the field and watching hub get like 5.1 ypc...the brain trust goes and gives him a updated miles contract.........Just a odd timeline of events, I believe all of us can agree on that. Just the market is at the lowest its ever been for RBs and this team is 2-7 with other losing seasons with hubbard chugging along as a cheap rookie. I do agree with you sorta need 2 starting level RBs, so use a mid-rounder or sign one in FA for 2-4 per. Hubbard signed for more than King Henry, sure age and all. Id still want Henry for 8per over 2 years than hubbard 8.3 over 2(his cut point) Honestly part of is still pissed form the Herniay era and spending top draft picks and top level cap space on RBs. I love the guy but they even signed toldozer for upper money with stew and dwill, just poor management of resources. Now 20 years later, history repeats while the league is laughing at the Panthers. I want to over spend and over use draft capital on WRs, edge, and DL. At they rotate and play at the same time, panthers never used stew and dwill at the same time while both were top 5 paid. ugh
