He's just saying that we're still in position to have a successful season at 1-2, as other teams have proven. It's not that hard to understand.

Thank you.

My point was it doesn't matter what anybody did last year.

I understand your point. I'm simply saying a lot of people thought that Pittsburgh had a shot at repeating, and that Arizona would be a contender. I don't think their fan bases are panicking quite that much yet.

I think to open the season with 2 straight losses is of course a bad thing. But if we can win MNF, tak a week off, and then play a WASH team that looks BBBAAADDD to me, then we can start taking a collective deep breath and calming down.

To expand a little:

Super Bowl Champions: Steelers (1-2)

Super Bowl Runner Up: Cardinals (1-2)

Championship Opponents:

- Ravens (3-0)

- Eagles (2-1)

Divisional Opponents:

- Chargers (2-1)

- Giants (3-0)

- Titans (0-3)

- Panthers (0-2)

(apparently it was better to play the Sunday game last year)

Wild Cards:

- Vikings (3-0)

- Dolphins (0-3)

- Colts (3-0)

- Falcons (2-1)

Three of last year's twelve playoff teams have yet to win a game, while two more - the Super Bowl teams -have only a single win to their credit.

Interesting :sosp:

Not especially meaningful, but interesting :lol:

It's a valid point, and a legit possibility.

As as aside, there's a devilish little part of my brain that would looove to see what would happen to the Cowboy fanbase if they lose their second straight game in the Ego Dome.

It is interesting. I know last year is last year in the NFL, but players and coaches and all NFL eople will tell you how anyone can beat anyone on any given Sunday. If my math is correct, we are not mathematically eliminated from having a 14-2 season yet. Doesn't matter if the wins come during the beginning, middle, or end of the season.

I know I'm usually overly optimistic, but the panic button is out of control in here lately. Maybe I'm wrong and our team truly is shitty, but that's what they go out and play the games for.

If someone told you in January of last season that in week 3 of the 2009 season the Titans, Dolphins, Panthers, Steelers and Cardinals would have 2 combined wins, they'd probably say you're crazy.

Carolina 27 - Dallas 20

No one's. I just call it like I see it. And from what I see, you like basking in negativity here. As a Saints fan, you may be accustomed to giving up after week 2. Once we're 4 out of the division lead, I might begin to worry. I guess I'm just your typical, delusional fan.

Don't mind SaintJ. He's soaking up the Saints good fortunes while he can, because he knows it won't last too long. I actually heard that they think that thing on Drew Brees' face is malignant and spreading. Bummer. :eek:

I was making a valid point, leave it up to some homerish baby to make this a smack thread.

I was making a joke about Drew's facial growth. Don't take it personally. It was just divisional banter. Unless it really is cancerous. Then I'll feel bad.

In January.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
