I like the Panthers' chances, don't get me wrong, but I don't see it being a repeat of 2013. on the other hand, not even the biggest Seahawks homer on Earth saw 2013 coming. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Osweiler starts the second half.

Man I really just cannot tell you how weird it is to have the Panthers going into the GOD drat SUPER BOWL as a team people are saying is going to crush This season has been so great, I'm so nervous I'm at least happy we're playing Denver because even if we lose I don't mind Manning getting a 2nd ring as much as I would hate to lose to the Patriots again

Excluding the 17-1 part, this is very similar to the 2013 Seahawk season. Battle not with monsters and what not.

I love him so much. Is there still a high probability of Carolina's coordinators being poached in the offseason? I'd really like to see this group stick together for a bit, but that's probably not realistic. Also, how loving crazy is it that Mike Shula might be a legitimately decent OC? Blows my mind.

I don't think many defensive coaches got looks this offseason. That and I wouldn't be surprised if there are some front offices thinking Rivera is driving the defense over McDermott.

Im pretty surprised we're keeping everyone. Its pretty cool though. The more i think about it the more im pretty ecstatic that we're in the superbowl and have a legitimate core of players under contract for at least another season. That being said I want the team to win. Really loving badly.

From assuming Kelvin Benjamin's injury would destroy this season before it even started to 17-1 and the Super Bowl favorite is just...holy poo poo. I wasn't the one who said "6 and 10" but I didn't disagree either.....that is all I'll say hah It is crazy no one on the coaching staff even sniffed a rumor at another team. How many cast offs do you have to coax amazing season out of before you get a shot over a retread. Ted Ginn was the best player in a NFC championship game and you don't hear a single offense coach get mentioned in a job search. Kurt Coleman has 9 interceptions. Cortland Finnegan came out of retirement, stepped right into a starting role, and hasn't even embarrassed himself, goddamn MIchael Oher is even playing above average. I mean I'm not complaining but in a world where Mike Mularky gets hired as a head coach it is kind of odd. Of course, after all I said above I'm not sure Shula or McDermott would actually be good head coaches but it is crazy their names never even appeared in a rumors column. Is the OC behind the highest scoring lineup in the NFL featuring a rookie TE convert and two guys who were practically out of the league not a better gamble than Doug Pederson? A secondary featuring Josh Norman (all pro obv) recently retired Cortland Finnegan, 600k a year Kurt Coleman, and a second year 4th rounder who wasn't going to play just shut the Cardinals down (yes I know the front 7 played a huge part, I'm not that stupid)......actually no we'll promote the OC of the fired coach (TWO loving TEAMS!!!) I mean not hired is one thing, but not mentioned even once? Mind boggling. Ribsauce fucked around with this message at 00:35 on Jan 28, 2016 |

McDermott did interview, and Shula declined from the start. It's possible Shula did that to save himself the embarrassment of not being interviewed. How many teams can look at their QB and say they have what Shula needs to run this offense and be effective?

I thought Shula denied he didn't want to do interviews. Apparently the man doesn't even have an agent: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/01/20/mike-shula-says-he-would-have-interviewed-for-coaching-jobs/

I seem to remember McDermott expressing interest in the Eagles opening. I thought they'd at least given him an interview, but I guess not. I am absolutely fine with him staying, though. He's done a fantastic job. Even Shula has grown on me and seems to have really improved his play calling for the most part. What I'm more concerned with is free agency, to be honest.

Only potential loss is Norman, who will at the least be franchised, like hardy was. There are no other notable free agents.

Going to a Super Bowl is definitely goddamn surreal. It's thrown my offseason rituals completely out of whack. I haven't even looked at a mock draft yet because I have no idea what the gently caress I want us to do. Every move we could make would either be depth, BPA or a weakness that we're already masking effectively. I guess a safety or another CB might be nice, but other than that who the gently caress knows? I don't have to decide who I want to win the game by weighing who I hate the most or what players deserve rings. I'm not at all concerned about free agency, especially weird because we have fucktons of cap space and every once in a while I have to stop and remind myself it's happening. it's pretty cool and I hope every fan gets to experience it once. Alternately, I'd like to experience it 10 times.

Look how many Ds flame out after one or two seasons. Hell, look how poorly Buffalo has done with several years of a top defense.
