The 2018 Panthers: The most disappointing team in franchise history

[joeyxfresco]

Yea this season sucks. All our losses except Pittsburgh were by 7 points or less and all of those games were lost due to mental errors and the team being unprepared. I’ve never seen a team be so dominant one week and so shitty the next. We need to fire Rivera and start fresh next year. This team needs a culture change and Rivera isn’t the man to captain that ship

Ya'll tripping though.  This has been a disappointing stretch, yes, but 2009 was way more disappointing IMO.  And I think people forget about the expectations that came before 2010.  Matt Moore had looked great and was finally gonna start.  We had Smitty and drafted some receivers while still having good RBs and a good offensive line.  We expected our defense to continue to be great after how good they were in 2009.

I don't know how anyone could say 2010 and 2009 were less disappointing.  We're at least 6-5 and still could make the playoffs.  Both of those teams were out of the playoff hunt by midseason... hell the 2010 team was out of it by the 3rd week.

I remember many many years ago, we just had to beat NO to get into the playoffs and it was at our home. We lost, the season ended there, it stunk

I remember we had to beat them to win the division. We won, it was great.

One of the most frustrating things is watching the league evolve and passing Ron over when we were one of the teams first built for the future. We have grand talents like Cam/CMC/Samuel on offense and we’re still trying to win games 9-6

There were no expectations in 2010. We didn’t score an offensive touchdown the entire preseason. I predicted we’d go 3-13. Only off by one.

This has be a absolutely devastating collapse I've never seen before. At least in 2010 I knew we were going to suck. This has been a quick trip to the pit of misery. So much talent and so poor of coaching. 

[Banjo]

This team was never going to win the division. Would have taken a miracle to get past the 2nd round too. I don't see the big deal.

when you consider this team, to the teams of the past? yeah, it's pretty disappointing.

People definitely had expectations.  They were just dashed in Week 1 when we saw Moore sucked too

Exactly my point. This team has the talent to compete for a Superbowl. Not just on paper. Former MVP QB in his prime, playing at an MVP level again. Up-and-coming superstar RB. HOF level TE, DE, LBs, Pro Bowl DTs. There are "stars" literally all over the field. But somehow, this team is going to miss the playoffs. The team simply underachieved, and that is disappointing.

That team started 1-7 if I recall correctly. The fact they even had a CHANCE to make the playoffs was nuts

How wonderfully funny for a morning pick me up is it when there are so many people who literally have no idea what the word 'disappointing' means.

GD education system in America...not that fugin hard wow.

People had expectations for this year well into mid-season.

Heck, if you look back at when Reid was signed, loads of people were (non-ironically) screaming Super Bowl.
