This Panthers team has the most swagger of any I can remember. Why don't the fans?

There were probably better teams we had under John Fox, but Fox never let those teams do things like show real emotion, get vocal, actually do some taunting during games. We've been blowing teams out lately by historic margins for this franchise and I've loved seeing guys like Drayton Florence and Luke Kuechly join in not being good little robots on the field along with Steve Smith. They won't admit it after the Ryan Kalil Super Bowl debacle, but I bet every player on this team feels like they have a chance at a Super Bowl ring this year.

 

So why is our fan base not even close to that point? More than half the people on the Huddle seem to feel like we're not just going to lose to San Francisco, but lose badly. Listen to talk radio: People are excited about the season, but no one feels like we're going to beat either San Francisco OR New England in the next couple of weeks.

 

I feel like we're collectively going through battered wife syndrome where some of you guys will be suspicious of the team unless you see Cam and Jerry Richardson holding up a Lombardi trophy in February. Grow up, this is a great team with a championship level defense and a championship level quarterback (as long as he's not throwing bombs down the field). I think we'll beat the 49ers on Sunday and we'll beat the Patriots the week after that. Fug me right?

 

you've seen 2 years and 3 games of reasons why this team is suspect and think 5 games against suspect teams changes everything?  You of all people made this thread?  lol  ookay.

You're goddamn right I am. What is suspect about this team that will prevent us winning next week? I'm all ears. 

 

Every other team's forum where a team has won 4 in a row to go 5-3 you'd have them going apeshit crazy in happiness. Charlotte fans? It's not quite meh, but it's close to it. Get excited people, Jesus.

So what...are we all supposed to make threads with .gifs of popping champagne bottles and invade opposing message boards to foretell of their impending beatdown?  

 

We've won 5 games.  I'm more excited about this team than I have been at any point since 2008.  I'm pumped and I think we CAN beat anyone in the league.  But I'm not about to go declaring us the best team in football and talk poo all the time, because we still have the play the 2nd half of the schedule.

This fanbase has swagger. So much that I saw a guy with a custom jersey yesterday that had "Swagger" written on the back (if it wouldn't have looked weird to snap a quick pic in the bathroom, I would have). Also, the amount of chanting and yelling on the way out of the stadium was awesome. Had a number of people yelling "bring San Fran's punkass on" and things of that sort also.


Sure, maybe that's only a fraction of the fanbase, but I do believe that most of the fans are generally fired up and ready for next week after every game right now.
