We should all take some lessons from the youth...

It wasn't even half-time yesterday before I started to have my doubts. My mood drastically changed. My son, sitting beside of me, looked up to me and said, "Don't get sad. We might lose today but they play again next week." Those words calmed me and we made it through the rest of the game.

Afterwards, on our way to Bojangles for some chicken Panthers talk on the radio, my son looks at me and said, "We beat them up last year. They were just mad and wanted to beat us up today. We didn't want to win as much as they did." If only we all could view our team through the eyes of a 4-year-old.

I have never swayed my loyalties from my team since that first game in franchise history my parents took me to. But I get so caught up in the day of one game, I don't think about the other 16 weeks of the season. My 4 year old corrected my course.

It was one game. And yes we looked worse than any of us thought. But as my kid put it, once you get beat up, you want to go out and beat someone else up. That's what our opponents get to look forward to in weeks to come.

I'm sticking with my 10-6 prediction. And I'm proud to do so. Everyone who has lost their poo over a single loss, clearly needs to stop and check their fan cards, I believe they may expire soon. But for us "life-time" members, we know things could be worse (1998, 2001, 2010).

If you expect this team to win for you every week of every season, maybe you should think about what the team expects from you... Unbreakable Loyalty!

I sat through 2010 I can watch this season lol....always hopeful but these next few games are rough

They seem pretty bad. But look at it this way. All 3 teams we face next see us like we saw the Bucs. So it could easily go the same way (This time in our favor). Cam and Co. will be out for blood next week, make my words.

      Our rookie class on offense looks promising

      That and so many top tier WRs have had major injuries.

      uh..... no. I'm sure people will take this as me just pushing to draft T-Mac still, but it's not, we BADLY need a true outside #1 WR, whether it's my guy or someone else, it's a HUGE need, especially since we're not going to have an elite QB next year, we need to get the pass catching options to improve our QB play, no matter who that ends up being. I love the potential of XL and even Coker, but if you would take your Panthers fandom goggles off for a moment and look at it objectively, our two leading returning WRs for next season hav 284 and 263 yards through 10 games.   I don't care how good or bad the QB play is, that's a bottom 5 WR room in the NFL, if even that high.  Off the top of my head, the Browns, Patriots, and Raiders are the only teams with a worse WR situation going into next year as of right now (there could be others, but I haven't actually thought about it). XL's ceiling is likely as a lower end #1, but that would make him an elite #2.  I've likened him more as the Waddle/Higgins than the Tyreek/Chase (in terms of role as the Robin to Batman, not style of play) Coker, while we all think he can turn into something, is nowhere near good enough to go into next season as our #2 to XL's #1.  Realistically XL should be the #2 with Coker being the #3, and that still could be asking a lot from Coker at this point in his career. In today's NFL, you're not going to win many games with below average QB play and XL/Coker as your top two WRs, it's nowhere near good enough to be competitive over the course of a season.
