Mr. Scot

...is here. It may only be preseason Panthers football, but it's still Panthers football. And as mentioned before, for the first time in a few years, I'm actually excited to see it. New staff, new roster, new players, shiny new young quarterback... I'm ready

Tony Dungy calls out the Commanders...

Also looks like a rookie in his first preseason game. Not gonna read too much into it but yeah, he didn't look too good.

It kind of depends on how you do it. Being an old school guy, I'm all for being tough and building winners. But even with that, there's a right way and a wrong way to do it. Mike Ditka of all people criticized Bill Parcells for his approach. He said Parcels would break guys down until they believed they were completely incapable of playing football unless he was their coach. How true is that? Don't know, but it doesn't sound like something I'd be in favor of.

I thought I saw him in there somewhere.

I vaguely remember us having a player from Louisiana some time back. I've forgotten his name (I think he played quarterback)

Just saw that...

Panthers not listed as one of his former teams, of course

Wondering about Howell?

As to the video, man that was fun to watch. Mr Snow is right. Things feel really different this year.

Not if John Fox had made some of the right coaching decisions on point afters. Or, for that matter, if our defense had made a play on the final drive. And more than that. No game is decided on any single play. A hundred things could have changed that outcome.

Duce isn't just talking sh-t. He's talking "sh-t" and "f--k" and "damn" and "motherf---er" and a few other things I might have to look up

Yeah I was. Blaming Kasay for that loss is stupid.

Meanwhile... Nate?

Meanwhile in DC...

Super Bowl 38 was no choke job, especially not given that we had an OC who redesigned an entirely different game plan at halftime. Shula sure as hell couldn't do that.

That would make me wonder if somebody on the production staff did that deliberately, possibly someone who thinks Cowherd is a dick.

Isn't this how we wound up with Pineiro?

That and his narrow ass...

Didn't Philly go down because of a dirty play by A--hole Talib that went uncalled?

I would agree though that the vast majority of the "next Cam" comparisons are off base. He was way more unique than is sometimes remembered.

Never bought into the "fix" theories, but have said and continue to say that Newton was in no position to fall on that football. It was too close to his feet. Unless he could have somehow dropped straight down (a physical impossibility) there was just no way for that to happen.

It was right there

To be fair, at this point in the year their depth charts are no more official than ours.

How would what he said relate to The Tinderbox?
