Man, the fans are nearly pathetic right now.

You lack perspective because you claim to be a long time fan but somehow completely forget this type of stuff. Seriously the first half of the Panthers game looked like a pretty typical game during the 80's and part of the 90's and even some select seasons during this decade.

You just sound like another typical knee jerk fan flipping their shit because we had a bad game. It sucked, it is however not the end all be all and it's not like we laid down for the whole game or anything. Grow a pair please. So fucking tired of fucking babies throwing out "end all be all" statements on a team that is 11-2.

You can't be more wrong with that first sentence. Go back and look at the TOP and total yards from the first half of that game and get back to me. We were utterly dominated on the field. We had two 3 and outs on offense and one other drive with one first down and then a 3 and out. Our defense was on the field almost literally the entire half and the only thing that kept the score from a complete blowout was the Panthers inability to score touchdowns and settle for field goals.

As for my "claiming" to be a long time fan I've been a fan since Bartkowski was here. In fact according to my parents "Bartkowski" was one of the first longer words I ever spoke as a baby. I was here long before you. I will probably be here long after you are gone. Calling someone's fanhood in question because they call out a horrible effort from a team that should be much better is asinine.

And as I said before but you ignored so you can act like some tough guy on the internet with profanity laced nonsense I never said it was the end of the season. It was the complete lack of effort that I was calling out and I absolutely will continue to do so if the team does it again.

That's what being a real fan is about. Calling your team to task when the effort isn't there. You might want to check into that before insulting other fans.
