Shit that’s interesting.I'm curious as to why you hate the Panthers. Nonetheless, I'm happy you mentioned them because I think I might give you a reason to hate them more. @rossihunter2 and @RavensMania , I think both of you gentlemen might find this correlation interesting. Ready?
Here's a comparison between the Ravens' regular season records and Panthers' regular season records since 2009...
Ravens (Panthers):
2009: 9-7 and made playoffs (8-8 and missed playoffs)
2010: 12-4 and made playoffs (2-14 and missed playoffs)
2011: 12-4 and made playoffs (6-10 and missed playoffs)
2012: 10-6 and made playoffs (7-9 and missed playoffs)
2013: 8-8 and missed playoffs (12-4 and made playoffs)
2014: 10-6 and made playoffs (7-8-1 and made playoffs)
2015: 5-11 and missed playoffs (15-1 and made playoffs)
2016: 8-8 and missed playoffs (6-10 and missed playoffs)
2017: 9-7 and missed playoffs (11-5 and made playoffs)
2018: 10-6 and made playoffs (7-9 and missed playoffs)
Moral of the story? Seems that our success in the regular season is damn near dependent on how the Panthers are doing based on this data. Of course, it's ridiculous to really think that, but it's something I've noticed since the 2013 season.
Oh and many panthers fans were former skins fans and falcon fans. North Carolina was a huge skins territory
