True. At least they didn't make it close and then rip our hearts out.

I would have rather played our best game and lose. Now, we don't really know how our best stacks up against theirs. That will keep me up at night.

Same, this game was so pathetic that you can only laugh. Over it already. Looking forward to seeing what kind of magic Keim can work this off-season to boost the pass rush and O-line.

I'be been watching the Cardinals lose for 35 years. You'd think it would get easier... Hurts everytime regardless of how they do it.

Every time we had a chance to make it close...turnover.

Than lose like the Vikings did. Get blown out. I won't lose sleep over this.


Totally agree. Much rather lose in a blowout than a heartbreaker. That said I'd like to keep that blowout as respectable as possible.

I feel somewhat the same way....we clearly were NOT the best team. The Panthers deserved to win. This game left NO doubt. Lick your wounds and figure out what gets you back to the Championship game next year.

Not me. Losing like this says we really weren't close, that's disappointing. Plus, if it wasn't Carson's finger that caused him to suck the last 3 games, now I'm really concerned about his psych moving forward. That Pittsburgh SB loss, I'm still really proud of that accomplishment.

Think you are right. The SB loss was the worst way to lose. At least this way, we knew we really had no chance the way things were going

I disagree. I would rather have lost last week than not even show up. This game was billed as a must see. Top 2 teams - and we were a laughingstock

At least when we get stomped we do it the right way by setting records in the process.

Cam skipping and smiling it could not have gone worse.

I'm with ya. Could care less what other people say. Would much rather know we just weren't good enough then fall into the agonizing what if off-season of misery.

On to FA, the draft and FINALLY getting SOMEONE who can rush the damn QB.

Get a younger vet. Open the coffers.

Disagree. i prefer to be able to learn something from losses. Losing like this doesn't ell you anything other than you weren't good enough. Doesn't give you much experience to build off of.

Dunno at least with a close game we're entertained and not the butt of jokes
The butt of jokes? From who? The fans of all the teams that didn't reach the conference finals? The Panthers are a bunch of classless bastards who will get there's, maybe even in two weeks. I really didn't have any interest in the SB if we weren't in it, until I saw how Carolina's players acted today, especially the "team picture" with 3 minutes left in the game. I hope Denver takes it to them.

Panthers deserved this win and I'm over it already.



Pretty much feel the same,.. The sting was gone by the 3rd quarter... but then again if I'm off my meds it might be another story...
