I was thinking horn as well simply because moore plays on ST and reasonably well. Would love to stash horn. I really think Bryce needs a wr like him but he needs to develop obviously

Moore. Worst YAC per reception in the entire NFL paired w/ a high drop % last year. Or you practice squad Horn who is probably getting too big of a bump given. 6th round WRs generally aren't year 1 roster guys opening up the season.

whos the odd man odd then? Assuming we carry 6 AT XL Tet HR JC Moore? Horn?

Hunter Renfrow is making this team. That is all. Panthers WR Theilen on Renfrow (AKA best route runner on the roster) “He runs great choice routes. He finds space really well, great body control. Things that aren’t necessarily my strongest suit. I’ve made it work over the years. But he’s really good at them,” Thielen said. “So it’s been fun to see him in person. Obviously, I’ve seen him on tape. But you see it firsthand, you try to pick some things from what he does.” Panthers S Moehrig on Renfrow “That dude is a joystick, man,” Moehrig said. “He’s just so crafty at the way he runs routes, the way he moves. He’s just a true, all-around route runner. Can get in and out of his breaks, super quick and is just super deceptive. Off the field, he’s a great guy, really helpful. That’s Hunter for you.” Huddle poster CRA on Renfrow He's half man, half god, half possible centaur. *disclaimer, do not bet on the NFL or anything I say. The NFL is crazy and so am I.

No more reaching for draft picks. Our pick should be Kon, no questions asked. The guy fills our most important need, and that's shooting. No reason to get fancy and do something stupid. Just pick the best spot up shooter in the draft

Correction. They were already up by 4 so it would have been a 5 or 6 point lead.

the games are often influenced in certain directions. Players also favored or worked against. you see it in all sports.

Small Market? That would be Green Bay Market smaller than Charlotte? Then you're talking Kansas City, Baltimore, New Orleans, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh... Folks need to stop using "small market" when referring to the Panthers. It's not true when referring just to Charlotte. It's definitely not true when combining Charlotte with additional coverage areas like Greenville/Spartanburg/Asheville or Greensboro/High Point/Winston Salem

Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.

It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB? Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert. Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes. This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable.

It can still be enjoyable. I don't think the players are in on it. I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying. So it's fun to watch them. But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50. It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway. I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs. Why else do they keep bad refs? I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works. Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.

There was a game many years ago, I want to say it was GB and Atl when one team went for 2 with 2 seconds to go up by 4. They converted. The only thing this did was cover the spread and saved Vegas from losing 300 million. It made no sense to the point the announcers were calling it out and were pointing out covering the spread. I was a much younger guy then, but that was my first clue that there was outside influence in this game.

It's definitely a cap dump we have plenty of lower quality prospects to trade them without giving up a Blake,Nadaeu or FUS 2C has been our biggest hole since Trockek walked..... I think a Hertl is far more impact full for us than marner.... we have a ton of talented young wings Blake probably becomes a 25-30 goal guy this year and I'm pretty sure Nadeau breaks into the lineup (and his offensive ceiling is higher than Blake') not having a legit 2C has made us basically a one line team when it comes to offense. 2C and 1RHD Id like filled this month and leave space for moves at the deadline

My question would be if you truly believe its scripted or rigged...why watch/follow it?

wow dude I haven't seen your username in forever. Hope you are doing well

That's awesome, man. Hope they give you plenty of reasons to cheer.

The refs in SB 50 100% rigged it for Mannings retirement. Clete Blakeman and the replay official for the game are verifiable Broncos fans.

To be fair, your definition of "good NFL game" varies from QB to QB.

I'm more of the mind that Rhule, in his infinite wisdom, sat McCaffrey when he was healthy so he'd have a built-in excuse that'd buy him another year. I feel pretty convinced of this as well.

Just take Bailey fug it

Yes the rules are kept in a gray area so that the refs can push the narrative. I am 100% sold on this.

Week 1 of 2016 is when I decided to stop watching non-panther football games after the head hunting continued. Other people should do the same.

There always has been collusion, as long as I have been a fan. It sure looks like they tweaked outcomes too. Good luck proving it. As much as I despise a lot of the ownership I'm still not sure what would happen if it was forced to change.

I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most. I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight. I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay… the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards. Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules. poo hurt. I was enraged. I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will. fuging robbery.

I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game. In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early. Cotchery’s no-catch? The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end? And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against. It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.” It changes the aggression level. It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want. Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself. That’s what the officials do. There is no way to avoid them affecting the game. And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so. Even in SB50… you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called. Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing. We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that. From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender. It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF. The fix was in there too. They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was. It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
