Eh, wasn’t that bad, kind of like the Miami game, we were never in it and we were already on the downturn. The Cowboys, Eagles and Vikings games hurt. We legitimately had a chance to be 6-0 if things fell our way on just a few plays. Amazingly, with Sam and yes I know Sam helped lose but we were weren’t dead yet. After those 3, definitely felt like we might win a few more but we weren’t building on 2020.

Depends on what hurts you.

We had a stretch there of teams that we absolutely should have or at least potentially could have beaten.

That made my head hurt 😕

God, Ron drove me insane. He somehow thought it was virtuous to try to milk a 10 point lead for three quarters. He seemed to enjoy blowing leads. He even alluded to (paraphrasing) "liking close games where he relied on the defense" in an interview one time. 

Playing not to lose = Mr. .500. Ask John Fox. (However, Fox or Rivera would be preferable to our current 'playing not to win' regime.)

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
