The 2018 Panthers: The most disappointing team in franchise history

[hepcat]

Has there been a bigger disappointment season in Panthers history? 1997? 2006? 2016? None of those teams started particularly strong, not as strong as 6-2. 2018 will be it.

3 straight losses against mediocre teams...3-6 Lions..really?....still think coaches are the problem...we have talent..

2006, we went 8-8 because Fox called a fade at Philly on first and goal from the 1 that got intercepted. Never forgot that. 

Overall yes this is the most frustrating to have who we have and to suck this bad

100% on Gano, Rivera, Washington and the defense. It’s their fault. Now it won’t matter whose fault it is because the season is over. We could start 7-0 and we’d still finish 7-9.

The 2003 Panthers lost 3 brutal games in a row.

You think we making a run to the Super Bowl?

Nothing was worse than 1-15, i think most have just forgotten it.  We won our first game, thought we were on top of the world.  Then 1 loss after another.  That was a hard season to be a panther fan.  at the time we had the most losses ever in a row.

And the 2003 Panthers got to finish the season against the 3-10 Cardinals, 4-10 Lions, and 4-11 Giants. What a cupcake end to that season to stop the skid. 2018 Panthers still have to play the 10-1 Saints twice.

Just being a bad team is one thing. That sucks, but sometimes you just can't overcome having a bad team. Having what is supposed to be a good team and blowing the opportunity hurts so much worse.

1-15 at least got us the #1 overall pick and ultimately a franchise QB. This year, we're probably going to end up winning just enough games to put us juuuuust out of reach of the elite pass rusher we desperately need in the draft.
