Slow week bored so "what if..."


Cold Cat

Recommended Posts

Anyways this week is going so freaking slow its painful. Oh yeah its still freaking snowing. (I don't like the snow.) I keep seeing all the talking heads talk us down. I understand why. They were all on our jocks a few years back and we let them down. Now I for one can't wait til they all jump back on the bandwagon after this weekend. Which they probably won't. There will be some excuse. Thats another topic in its own. I thought it would be fun to entertain the idea if the talking heads would have been right this year.

I used to read comics alot and they sometimes had a "what if spin". Taking only the games that the panthers won by 4 or less and converting them into losses we'd be at 9-8. Still that puts us at 1 game over .500

Would there be any "coaching changes" for next season?

Would there be any changes in the front office?

What about player(s) contract extensions or resigings?

*On a side note. i'm very glad things worked out the way they have. I had forgotten that some of the games were so close.

What if there were only 16 games in a season?

Ouch, I love my panthers guys. Sorry if you feel it was the wrong time to post something like this. I knew it would be unpopular. But with nothing to talk about that hasen't already been covered I thought it would be fun. To stir the pot a bit. To get some conversation going about how wrong the "talking heads" are. Oh well guess the post was too negative.

Yeah i'll admit it was stupid to say we'd be 9-8. Had to many numbers going through my head it would have been 7-9. 2 games under .500.

    • Just admit that you don’t follow all the draft discussions on here. If draft results were so random, how come some teams tend to be perennial losers like us and some teams are perennial winners and it all starts with the draft? It’s almost comical these type of stupid responses. Oh, why aren’t you the GM? Gee I wonder since I work in a completely different field. How about you give us some examples of where the huddle consensus drafting was worse than our drafting from 2018 to 2025? I know I’ve given a ton of examples and you just shoot this generic poo of oh you couldn’t possibly done better as an armchair GM. Why don’t you dispute any of my examples? Let’s go to Brooks. I wanted Frazier at C because I still feel like that’s a hole. Other Huddlers mentioned DeJean at CB. Here’s why many of us didn’t want Brooks because 1) he might not play due to tearing his ACL late in the college season, 2) any scout/GM worth their salt would know that the 2025 RB draft class was loaded and 3) trading up multiple picks knowing 1 and 2 seems silly. Heck, after the draft, pretty clear that day 3 was where the RB value was. The huddle was right on Brooks and at most, we’ll get 2 years of Brooks while Hubbard is still under contract. If you know so much about the underlying machinations of the draft, you should be able to dispute the actual examples and how the huddle’s picks were just plain lucky and how Dan, Scott and Marty’s picks were just unlucky. Pulling the why aren’t you an NFL GM is a much repeated response when an actual reasoned response isn’t possible. Our drafting hasn’t been unlucky the past 7 drafts, it’s just been bad with lost of idiotic moves that were far worse than the huddle consensus.
    • I got y’all https://static01.nyt.com/athletic/uploads/wp/2025/04/09073220/2025-Beast-v02.pdf Th3!Be@$T!#2025
    • 100%!! Last year we focused completely on offense, and it made leaps, especially when Bryce settled in for the 2nd half of the season. We kept all those players and improved our RB stable this free agency! This year we focused almost entirely on D, specifically our run D. I expect it to jump to at least average, which would be awesome considering they are starting at dead frikin last. Our draft class from last year, however, doesn't exactly make me tingle. I know, I know..."traded away our first round pick, give them time to develop", but still. The 1 gem was Coker, a UDFA who I really like, but he ain't exactly Randy Moss. We have to do better! We can't afford to only build via Free agency.
