This hurts...

The injuries and everything piling up reminds me so much of that fateful season.

Hoenstly though we could be easily 5-1 as well as 1-5 with so many close games we've had, we just can't stay disciplined enough for the wins. Only game I believe we were soundly defeated were the Falcons. But losing definitely opens up windows towards our huge weaknesses.

the 2004 panthers turned it around and came an ass hair away from making the playoffs.

That team would have been dangerous in the post season

That was a crazy season. We lose Steve Smith and Kris Jenkins, and we lost our top three backs (Stephen Davis, DeShaun Foster, and Rod Smart). We tried Brad Hoover at running back, and then finally stuck in Nick Goings - who had a monster seven-game tear that came out of nowhere and never resurfaced again. I went to my first game that year, it was against Arizona, his breakout three-touchdown game. 

And a year before Steve Smith had the triple crown, Moose led the league in receiving yards and touchdowns (a team-record 16). If we had just managed to beat Atlanta (this was before we figured out how to stop Vick) or New Orleans, we would have made the playoffs at 8-8 and could have made a serious run. That team was really, really good down the stretch.

Long term, this team is much better. That's why anybody that's been a Panther fan more than a year or two is really not worried. Yeah, this year might be shot, but we will get better.

Consistency. 

[pinkfloyd]

What bothers me more than having to wait for "another" year or so, is the clear decline in team spirit and camaraderie.  Notice camaraderie starts with CAM.  He just doesn't look like he's having fun anymore, and it seems to be affecting everyone. I feel bad for these guys, as none of the coaches or the GM seem to give a shite about THIS season, or the players.

Coming within an ass hair or a country mile ... end result is the same.
