If the Panthers lose this week to the Bucs...

What is your definition of season over? My stance is 1-3 teams who struggle to beat 1 of the 5 worst teams in the NFL do not win Superbowl's.

The only reason I asked if the season would be over is, the Panthers, fresh off a lucky win against Washington, will be facing an arguably worse team in the 0-5 Buccaneers. A loss against Tampa would drop the Panthers to a devastating 1-4 record, matching last years loss total in Week 6. I wouldn't be surprised if the team imploded after a loss to a team like that. The first three teams the Panthers played this year were quality opponents; they all had winning records last year and have winning records currently. Just saying, if you can't match up against quality opponents, let alone the inferior ones, I would consider the season over.

The Steelers led the entire game and they did not loose 3 games in a row prior to struggling against the Browns. Nice try though.

Indeed. Where's the rep button?

To simplify for the dreamers, there are 8 teams we can realistically beat. They are, in no particular order of sucking: Buffalo, Cleveland, Oakland, KC, Washington (done - bam!), Detroit, Tampa Bay, and St. Louis. We have the good fortune to face two of these murderee's row the next two weeks.

On the flip side, their fans have us circled as well.

We could be 3-3. It is possible. I look forward to the misplaced optimism if that happens.

The last 10 games, however? 8 losses. We'll sneak a couple wins.

5-11.

There are 5 teams that are undefeated at present. They will not be as the season progresses. Many other teams are struggling, they cannot establish any consistency. If we don't beat the Bucs, it is unrealistic that this will be a winning season. However, a win puts us at 2-3, and if we stay healthy, who knows? It is time to see if Fox and the coaches can rally the guys. I still think some wrinkles on offense and special teams would go a long way towards curing what ails us. Our third down efficiency has to get much better, and fast.

I mean, if you can't beat poo teams...it means you are one. A loss here or next week and they are playing for pride and future jobs from that point on.

reality is the season is already over....

put if we want to be optmistic they need to get to 3-3

Well said...

The latter part, well, it's never over at this point of the season. But it certainly doesn't look too good at the moment. It's very possible our OLine clicks and we start picking it up. But at some point very soon that will have to happen.

The season is never over you just build for next season.

and if you have to get poetic about it.. this works too.. :)

Can't believe all the "it's over", throw in the towel responses. :nonod:

They're taking the easy way out; just give up on the team instead of actually pulling for them.

I don't even know why I bother to read the posts, really.

I can see how it looks like there are no more fans around here.. but I'm pretty sure they aren't bitching because they don't care.

I can only speak for myself... Unless the OLine gets it together, at this pace, the season will be very close to over.. Does that mean I'm giving up my tickets to the 1 game I can make to see them? Hell no. Do I quit watching them religiously and watching closely to see where the success and failure exists? Hell no..

At this rate, the team is going to struggle for every possible win... It's just the simple truth. Is it too late to turn it around? Absolutely not... But don't take "it better happen very soon or it's over" to mean anything other than an observation...

I can only back up my viewpoint.. I'm sure there some around here who have quit watching, but even the most pessimistic don't necessarily fall in that category...

lol dude get over yourself

Just because people like myself know this team is shitty doesn't mean we don't root for them. If you can't accept that this team is bad then maybe you had trouble accepting that Santa Claus isn't real and the Easter Bunny is full of poo. Well, I, like most people, am able to see that and recognize it, yet still enjoy the holiday.

Same thing with the Panthers. They're shitty. They're not winning anything beyond a few games this year. However, I'll still root for them every week and watch the games for the young talent that we should hopefully see as this team plays out the season. If you're gonna have that holier than thou attitude about how you "believe" in them or some bullshit, just save it dude. Nobody wants to hear it. You're not any more of a "real" fan than the rest of us that root for this team without being retarded.
