How seriously are you taking this year, as a whole?

[onmyown]

Just generally watching every NFL game I can, I can’t remember a time I have seen so many awful teams. A lot of rosters are fuged because of COVID. Like the 49ers, last in their division with 5 wins. I feel like if it wasn’t for COVID they’d be much better. Limited prep time preseason, subing players, rescheduled games, cancelled practices, injuries galore etc.

Hell when is the last time a 3 win team (Eagles) had a good shot for the playoffs post halfway in the season, until recently (now the 5 win Giants are on top). And the Browns are 9-3, what in the hell? The NFC is bad...you might have teams with losing records make it.

Reminds me of the time we made it several years back at 7-8-1...apparently it has only happened 4 times in NFL history. And two of those only happened with a 9 game season.

But it’s not just the records because trash playing trash won’t tell you anything. Some of these teams are playing like it’s a preseason game or worse, even ones with ‘good’ records.

Now don’t get me wrong I’m truly thankful for football and to be honest they have done a lot better than I ever imagined. But watching these teams I can’t help but see how this pandemic is affecting the quality of the season.

This whole year is a wash.  From kindergarten to NFL.

Yeah, just thankful sports are on and there is good news on the horizon with the vaccines. A title is a title but if you gonna suck (or boycott watching) this is the year to do it.

If the Panthers won the Superb Owl in 2020, I wouldn't give a fug how big of an asterisk they put next to our name in the books.

The season is the season. Every team dealt with the same level of BS.

See Carolina hurricanes 2006 - a win is a win.

The Niners got hammered by injuries. The Patriots got hammered by COVID opt-outs.

The NBA trying to say that Bubble poo was the most difficult, when not one person watched that awful bull poo. So yeah, every sport this year is ass. Including the poo NBA with the awful thing called the Bubble.

    I’d be just as happy about winning a ring this year as I was the other six times.

1970-1983. Then my father got transferred to AL. Which worked out because I swore off the Steelers for a couple years after they passed on Marino. He’s still my favorite player ever. 
 

   Getting through KC to get there is gonna be tough. They needed to lose. But losing D. Bush and Dupree is starting to have a big impact.

As serious as any other season. It’s different faces but the same old Panthers. Do enough to give you hope and then crush your dreams. 

[Diehardpanther02]

About as serious as the 2020 election. We all know it's important, but deep down we know no matter what it's going to be poo and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it.

So we just accept it and wait and see.

Every year is a wash with this team, so this year is definitely no different.
