The Panthers are 1-8 in their last 9 nationally televised games vs. winning teams

[Hoenheim]

I think practically no one is expecting us to win this game. Hopefully we can go in there and get a emphatic win and put the league on notice

Playoff loss to the Saints

Week 17 loss to the Falcons in 2017

Week 13 loss to the Saints in 2017

TNF loss vs the Eagles in 2017

MNF win vs the 7-5-1 Redskins in 2016

SNF loss vs the Seahawks in 2016

Week 12 loss vs the Raiders in 2016

Week 1 loss vs the Broncos in 2016 (we were both 0-0, but I'm counting this because this was a giant game)

Super Bowl 50 loss

 

Why do you think this is and why do you think this week vs. the Steelers will be any different if you think we're going to win?

Well....I would challenge the breakdown of the games you picked.  I mean you cherry picked in the Bronco Super Bowl and left out the 5 prime time games they won that season.  So if you include the Bronco loss I would think you would need to include those 5 wins. 

and like you mentioned, you then added a loss to a Bronco team that was 0-0.  And as far as actual play? They played well enough to win it.  Hence Gano hitting the first kick.  

Then you added a Raider game that wasn’t prime time I don’t believe. 

So to sum up how I feel? I feel like your post is more a representation of our 2017.  And our 2017 team made life easy on defenses.  Because we had zero speed on offense outside of what was in our backfield.  None.  And despite that, the 2 prime time games we had Olsen (Playoff game and Philly)....we had shots to win and were in them. 

So the real question is....why won’t we win.  We should be in the game with this roster.

Yea go back 12 games and it doesn’t look as bad. But regardless, if we can pull out a win here, we will have put the entire league on notice. If not, we will be shrugged off for a while.

[rayzor]

Might as well mail it in.

Screw that.

We will win because we have a ton more talent and an OC far better at managing the talent he has situationally.

New year, new team, new energy

I still say it basically just highlights the 2017 team that lacked Olsen.  And featured a WR corp that was slow as dirt overall and could stress an opposing D.   Could of won either game Olsen suited up for despite the weak WR corp

This whole thread is fake news

 

Most of those games were not nationally televised, believe me I would know since I live in Florida.

The simple answer is that what happens this Thursday is totally unrelated to what has happened in the past. If we can contain their offense to less than 24 I think we have the offense to put up 27 or better on them.

Agree. 

We definitely need to run and move chains.  I think we want limited possessions overall in this game.

Why da fuq even post this? It'll be a tough game. Winnable for either team. Good heavens.

Tells me we’re due for a win

Why stop at 9?  You included the superbowl, but not the playoffs or Thanksgiving or Monday night that year.

LOL, alrighty. Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. The last time we beat Pitt, was in 1996. Our Defense is average as Hell. So, I don't feel too comfortable about beating them. And LOL at the number 1 offense being the Bucs. Jesus. 

So because the 1996 Panthers couldn't beat the Steelers, we shouldn't feel comfortable?
