I think he'd be crazy if he didn't. We've been doing a pretty good job down the stretch of playing well but losing. That's the ideal outcome for a team out of contention. We just fuged up and actually won two of them.

Then you think he IS crazy because he doesn’t/didn’t.  If the Panthers didn’t want to win the game, they wouldn’t have.

The Panthers organization didn’t want to lose this game for 2 draft spots.  It’s bigger than that.

Did you watch Dan Morgan play MLB? I already KNEW Dan was crazy. LOL

Dude played LB like he was a kamikaze wrecking ball.

alright I got some u n i  t a l k 

make the white on silvers the base road uniform

its a solid, game to game type look that is still light colors for hot games and keeps the Carolina *panthers* from wearing all white uniforms 12 times a season

has the added bonus of making the all white uniforms a “thing” which they’ve been trying to push the past couple seasons but nobody noticed because of how often they’re in white anyways

Anyone mention how well the receivers played yesterday? Even got a little YAC. Nothing crazy, but at least they weren't falling down or running out of bounds after the catch. XL, JT Sanders, Coker, and of course AT. Still need a big YAC guy, but if the young guys can continue to develop I'm not sure a high draft pick is needed.

This was one of the biggest positives of the day. Just about everyone on offense had at least one good moment on the field.

Having all three rookies get a good chunk of actual snaps this season is only going to help us next season. How much they'll improve is the big question. Definitely think we need a fast shifty piece.

yes entire offense played well.  some games you watch and notice recievers are rarely open but yesterday it was looked like every play young had 3 or 4 open targets.

The combo kinda grew on me over the course of the game.

i thought it was fugly, like they were going to wear all silver (or whites) and lost half the uniforms someplace

Falcon fans have alot to be excited for also penix 3rd game he passed over 300 yards and 2tds had the one int but it was definitely not his fault.  Crazy the saints are lookinf like they may be last in the nfc south next season.  

[Loyalty4Life]

If we had lost to the Falcons that in and of itself would not be that huge a difference.  If we had only 1 or 2 wins this year and had the number 1 draft pick the plans and conversation everyone is having is very different.

Winning matters.

No one on the planet would have taken or wanted one win if that meant missing out on a generational talent, especially if it's a QB.  The next Payton Manning is not at the top of this draft.  In our current situation I think winning and playing well down the stretch is a much better outcome than a few draft spots in this years draft.

There are quite a few people here who wish we'd had the 2nd pick last year instead of the 1st but that's just another big pet peeve I have.  No one really knows and it takes a while to figure out if you guessed right or not.
