It makes me sick to think of this

We are 2-7. In my opinion there is no way we should have lost the ATL and CHI games. If we held on to just those two games we would currently be 4-5.

When I look at the rest of our schedule I can't help but think that there are three likely wins left on our schedule SD, KC, and OAK. There are two games IMO we should win against the Bucs and a likely Vickless PHI. Then two that we could win ATL at home and NO although we would be underdogs in both games.

Despite how bad we played and not even considering the SEA, DAL, and Tampa games that we were one score away from winning.

If we just held on to those two games we would have a very good shot at 9 wins and a legitimate shot at 10 wins and possibly the playoffs.

Just make me sick to my stomach that we are so close yet also so very far away.

I think (if I remember correctly) if you go back and look at the 2003 season where we went to the super bowl, the games were very similar EXCEPT that we got those breaks and won the close games... this year, we are just on the losing end of bad/dumb breaks.

I have thought about this same exact thing... we could very well be near .500 right now except for a few little things and mistakes.

You are over thinking this an trying to make meaning out of things and twist it around. The team is 2-7. They are not good and are not close to a 9 or 10 win team.

I disagree and I don't see how a team that is a TD away in each game from being 7-2 instead of 2-7 is not close. We have several flaws and I am not saying that we are SB contenders. But I don't think we are as terrible as many of you think we are.

I also don't think it is unfair to say that we should have won the CHI and ATL games but flukey things happened that prevented us from winning those games like WRs falling down and weird backward fumbles and hail mary passes.

There is nothing flukey about fumbling the ball when you are trying to run out the clock, throwing an interception for a touchdown, or giving up long game winning drives to the opposing team. That is just playing badly.

    • We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.  
    • TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
