Anyone remember 2003?

Yeah, that year the first time around that we went to the super bowl?

Regular season record? 11-5

a ton of gritty close wins

and being on the wrong end of an ass whopping in week 6 versus the titans.

Titans game was actually worse than this one tonight, because 1. we were at home, 2. we had a full week leading into it 3. the Panthers defense in 2003 was elite. Steve McNair and the Titans utterly destroyed us by dropping 37 points on that elite defense and we only scored 17 points... it was ugly.....

The point of this is, tonights game doesnt mean anything more than one thing. we lost tonight.  Dont make it out to be anything more or less than that. a single loss.

We lost 4 fumbles against Tennessee that day, and it wasn’t nearly as close at that score.

That game absolutely came to mind tonight. 

That 2003 game and the 2008 Arizona playoff debacle are the 2 that some to mind for me...

Not that we haven't had other bad losses, just the 2 easiest examples of bad losses when we were expecting something different.

At least like 2003, we still get a chance to get back off the mat next week...  we didn't have that chance for 9 months in 2008

Yeah that team had 500x the heart this team has and that defense was 500x the defense this team is.   It's not even close.

I dont know about the heart thing, I think after some of our close wins, this team has proven that, I'd just give my left nut to have that defense tho...

I don't think this defense is any less talented across the back 7, especially considering the rule changes and how it affects DB play...

But yeah, the Front 4 is light years less... crazy that 15 years later and Peppers still was our best D lineman tonight...

Seattle 2016 (the 'didn't wear a tie' game) was pretty much the same as tonight, even down to the head-scratching pick 6 at the start of the game. A few less points scored overall but the exact same type of on-field ass-whooping in front of a national primetime (SNF) audience.

no bro, 2008 was way worse, this one may be stinging a little bit still right now, but 2008 was yikes. 2015 super bowl felt bad, but at the same time, I felt like we had a very good core to the team and would be back, just didnt realize the NFL would let opposing teams have an open season on Cam that year, and that gettleman was dumb enough to let Norman walk. still pissed about both those thing, and I dont think I will ever forgive them for that either.

05' Seattle was bad too.

 

we had a great team that year, but the injuries and our road through the playoffs just killed us, we had the toughest road to the super bowl that year, and pulled off 2 outstanding wins, just going cross country, and then players on the team getting sick. We just got worn out.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
