And taking our daylight. It is Jordan Love’s birthday today. In case you were wondering.

The demographics are not favorable. The high consumption is largely a very aging consumer base. Numbers in the sub-30 range are not promising and will lead to that eventual collapse. Couple that with increasingly higher costs to watch those products and the future is very bleak.

I'm getting forced to go to some new trendy coffee shop. still hungover from drinking champagne after another Dodgers WS win.

the Panthers starting QB is known for 4th quarter comebacks, not sure why that narrative changed.

I just wanna thank daylight savings time for making us wait another hour for this

Predictions from the Observer writers i am sad I wish the Panthers had one, just one, game changing hero on their roster …one player that isnt ok with losing …there aren't any Steves,, Lukes, Cams, Thomas’ on this roster When a team has a roster and there isn't one jersey that sells, there arent any heroes if there are, today is a good day to show up From the Oberser Fowler: Packers 30, Panthers 20. Carolina will hang around for a while for this one, but the Packers — a legitimate Super Bowl threat — have just too much firepower. Kaye: Packers 31, Panthers 20. Green Bay feels like one of the true Super Bowl contenders in the NFC. The Packers’ offense is dynamic and the defense continues to improve. With a banged up O-line and an unpredictable defense, I’m not sure it matters who is at QB for the Panthers on Sunday. The Packers should win at home in convincing fashion. Zietlow: Packers 35, Panthers 28. I predicted last week that the Bills would win in lopsided fashion. They were coming off a two-game losing streak followed by a bye. The Panthers, conversely, were due for a regression after three great weeks. This week, after refocusing, I think the Panthers will put up a strong performance. I also think Rico Dowdle will get the majority of the carries and that the defense will play much better against the run. The Packers will still win, but the Panthers will leave Lambeau with their heads held high.

He’s using that metric system stuff.

Rico & Bryce combine for 300 yards of offense.

Appreciate your optimism

Lord almighty. This is even more delusional than the Bryce stans. LOL Last year y'all had a great offense and a JV defense and this year y'all have a great team held back by an egomaniacal jackass of a QB that literally everyone in the football world correctly predicted would be a disaster.

We'd have won it the last two years if the ACC wasn't hell bent on stopping us. Best we've been able to do is win the Coastal, which is poor.

Probably looks similar to the Bills game. We've played three teams with winning records and the combined score of those games is 108-32 and it was honestly worse than minus the some garbage time scores. We've gotten skull fuged when we've played good teams. No other way to slice it.

We've got a chance. But we're going to work the run game all danged day.

Feasting on the foes again today! It's the Packers today so it's CheddarWurst and potato salad. It just screams Wisconsin for some reason. And Bugles, of course. What about y'all?

This guy is such a complete fuging prick. https://www.facebook.com/share/r/16bh2nLuGq/ Blamed a receiver for running the wrong route on his 4th INT of their first loss and now he's throwing shade at play calling after he seals another loss with another INT where he had all day in the pocket, the pocket was still clean, and he just chose to throw the football to a defender. How can a Miami fan watch this poo and cry about refs? Your problem is this dog poo asshole playing QB.

Packers 31 / Panthers 21 We have a chance to win this, but we don’t do well on the road and it’s one of the toughest places to play.

The truth we all knew has been laid bare. Cam completely carried that moron.

If Rico can get hot early we may have a chance to win and it would be the upset of the Year

Not convinced that it will reach that collapse point, and that is entirely on the fans and consumers of the product. I think there is something real and tangible to the dissatisfaction from fans about how college football operates in particular with this new age of NIL and transfer portal. "There's no loyalty or identity to a school anymore." "Paid employees." "Mercenaries and that's all." Conferences are all done, except for the name. The geography has been obliterated. Historic rivalries are gone and a good chunk of the character of college football has gone with it. Eventually, I see it becoming a set-up akin to how Premiere League Soccer operates, with teams being segregated out. We are very much on that path already. For years and years, it was operated as a free farm league for the NFL. The only thing that has really changed is it is no longer free. Times change, but it does go against the ethos of what college sports are perceived to be about by the public. Despite that, consumption remains high.

Panthers are down by 2 TDs at half. Mike White is brought in in the 3rd and Panthers win by 30

The Dolphins are the example of not tieing a team to an overrated QB who can't carry a team. They were so stacked and watched most of their talent go elsewhere so they could pay a mediocre and hurt starting QB too much money. They looked so good beating up bad teams at their peak and couldn't hang with any of the other playoff bound teams. I wonder if getting tossed aside will wake up their HC or if he continues to struggle elsewhere after his early success. It would be funny if we weren't doing a weaker and dumber version of their build.

It was even worse than that. The following game we were also shutout. Pretty sure. That Green Bay game, then two goose eggs to end the year. Followed by the wonderful first two games of 2024. So 4 straight stinkers. I looked at the box of that GB game a few weeks ago. It was 10 points and around 100-110 yards passing in the first half. He had two TDS the 4th quarter. Around or close to 200 yards passing in the second half. It was mostly a great 2nd half. This year’s Dallas game, he played well or turnover free for 4 quarters, had no numbers really but I thought it was his best game. Along with the Atlanta game at the end of 2024. I think the agreement Bay game was at home too, it won’t be this time. I have to root for him to show something more in these last games because I think they are going to keep him - so he really needs to be better.

I do know. They also aren't desperate.

I don't know that better options were available at the time. We couldn't poach Big Ten or SEC programs. The Big 12 was not weak enough yet to potentially make a poach there reasonable. Not to mention the big fish(Texass, Texass A&M and Oklahoma) wouldn't likely have come unless we basically handed them over the keys to the entire conference budget. I agree that those moves hurt but I don't think there were better options and sitting still was a worse solution. The financial rewards they all reaped were substantial. They only cry and moan about it now because they say "Oh the Big Ten and SEC are more!" Well, those are also the primary drivers of this insanely rapid inflation that is absolutely unsustainable.
