Help needed - How do you enjoy the NFL in a down year for the Panthers?


Tarheels23

Recommended Posts

Serious question how do you enjoy other NFL games when the Panthers are having a down year?

Let me start off by saying I never miss a Panthers game but during a down year I won’t watch any other NFL games. I just can’t stomach it  

I just don’t find them enjoyable, but I want to change that. I’m tried of allowing the Panthers to steal my joy. 

 

Any my recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Well you can pull for the Patriots...they always win...10 straight division titles and only 1 time since 2003 they didn’t win the division

I just enjoy the overall competition and the multiple story lines. I like using NFL gamepass and following the ups and downs of teams over the course of the year. Such an intense struggle for everyone, and I find watching the overall narrative of the league as well as that of individual teams captivating.

I even enjoy Panthers down years, believe it or not. You can't have all ups, and sometimes it can be lots of downs, but that's life. Everything is cyclical and if we didn't have downs, we'd have no reference point or appreciation for ups. Amor fati.

Go outside, to the beach, park, or anywhere where I can’t see a television.  It’s a much better life. I have become very apathetic towards all sports. Up until a few years ago I would get so angry that it would ruin the rest of my day if I watched a bad effort, nowadays I really don’t care.

I'm also taking part in @UpstatePanther's "pick em" contest, and so is one of my parrots.

Yes... a parrot :)

For each game, I give him a choice between two treats, one representing the favorite and the other representing the underdog. His pick is determined by which one he chooses.

Laugh if you want to, but at the moment, he's winning :thinking:

He's the only one who picked the Bucs to win this past Thursday night.

2014 ruined my Sunday - Wednesday’s. Then by Thursday I would be hopelessly optimistic again.

    • There's much of nothing coming out this time of year, but here's a vid that I believe that many fans need to internalize because it speaks to expectations for the 2024 season.    There's nothing really new, but I'd like to point out that one of the few things that I personally learned is that D.J. Wonnum's contract is only guaranteed to the tune of 10 percent. The analyst in the vid is a Vikings guy, and he has seen all of  Wonnum's plays. He says that Wonnum disappears for big stretches, and of course, as a Panthers guy, I couldn't help but think of Brian Burns' disappearing act for stretches as well.  To paraphrase and kind of give my two cents, Panthers fans should be somewhat optimistic about all of the potential on offense (but not crazily so), and be somewhat worried about the pass rush and defensive backfield. We're thin at both, but hopefully we can at least be competitive based on the offensive side of the ball. This is not to say that we won't be better on defense, but being so thin at rush and on the back end, we will be lucky to substantially improve.  One more note is that I believe he's somewhat of a Young apologist, as he didn't really mention Bryce's bad play specifically, taking the position that we just don't know what we have in Young based upon the sh¡t show in 2023.  I could argue the point, but what's the point? We'll have to see what Bryce has got when surrounded by much-improved talent and coaching. Check the vid out; it isn't so long, and though there are multiple reasons to be skeptical about the defensive personnel, last year produced a couple of stats that should indicate that Ej knows what he's doing. Like the analyst said, we'll hopefully do for the defense in the 2025 off-season, what we did for the offense this off-season.
    • seems like Necas is acting like a pestilent spoiled brat, we have to sign Drury and this is gumming up the works - also looks like we now have to trade Necas for draft picks or fingers crossed get out of KK's salary
    • Was talking about Necas going to Arbitration. Jarvis expected deal is around 6.75x7 unless they do a bridge deal for like 2X5 or so.    so if Jarvis signs his expected deal that leaves around 4m for Drury and Necas.
