Zod

So I am sitting here trying to decide to pull for tonight. Conventional wisdom says cowboys but I hate them. So I am looking for a justification to hope they lose. Then it hit me. Tampa Bay is winning the South more than likely. Our real competition are teams fighting for a wild card. Dallas is more likely one of those as usual. Ipso facto, fug them coyboys.

I'm wet.

It is now time for me, your ruler, to weigh in on the Carolina Panthers 2021 season. I have taken into account all variables, known and unknown, and developed what I think is the most accurate season prediction possible. Let us begin. Fast Start Out of the gate the Carolina Panthers appear to be a team on the rise. starting 3-0 with talks of playoffs starting once again. While the team does look much improved, their early success is also due to the weak front end of their schedule. The Wall By game 4 the Panthers will hit a wall, mainly due to the weakness of their offensive line. By then, teams will be working around Matt Rhule and his system of hiding awful players via scheme. At this point, Elfein will be benched permanently and replaced by Dennis Daley with Deonte Brown becoming the new starting right guard. The line does not improve immediately , but instead sees incremental growth with each passing game. By November they will resemble a professional football offensive line. The QB Sam Darnold will flash moments of brilliance but also inconsistency. However, his play will be strong enough for the Carolina Panthers to compete in every game. Darnold will also do what Teddy never could, win multiple games in the 4th quarter. The Emergence of the Dominating D This season will mark the return of a punishing, dominating defense in Carolina. Derek Brown will come into his own as Brian Burns gets All Pro numbers. Jeremy Chinn becomes the field general we all want him to be as Jaycee Horn improves as the season transpires and develops into our first shut down corner since Bradberry. Conclusion The Carolina Panthers finish their 2017 season with a 9-8 record, narrowly missing a wild card birth due to a tiebreaker loss. While disappointing, this sets up an excited fan base for the 2022 season with the playoffs a real possibility.

How often is any observer piece posted here? I can't recall any recently.

People still get news from the observer?

It is time to sound off and show off your powers of prognostication. Who wins? Notable stats? Who surprises? Who disappoints? Final score?

I typically do this thread on Thursdays, gives other team fans enough time to poo themselves.

Wtf?

Belmont kid too.

This thread is dedicated to all things Fug Them Jets.

Per Matt Rhule. You like?

You know, it's nice that we don't have to worry about the other coaching staff knowing Darnold very well. Might as well be a whole different team in that respect.

This week the Panthers host the Jets in the season opener. We all expect this to be a W. The Jets have had their typical horrible luck with injuries and also have a rookie QB in his first start. What are you looking for? What are your concerns?

Eat a dick

Remember when they started Whitehead for almost an entire season while this board was screaming that his backup was much better only to find out when they finally benched him his backup was indeed much better and the starter this season? Good times.

Rhule said in an interview that they graded Christensen as a 2nd round tackle but a FIRST ROUND GUARD......

So, we really doing this? Starting the season with a huge Achilles heal? I thought for sure a trade for at least an average left guard was a certainty. Everyone and their mother knows Elfein is horrid.

From the Athletic fair?

Maybe the dude that overpaid him?

Only Murders in the Muilding on hulu is the best new show of 2021. If you like Steve Martin and Martin Short, it is gold, baby, gold. Such refreshing television.

I can't shake this feeling that we will be hearing about a trade very soon. I suspect a linebacker or OL. Weakest areas on the team that could really benefit from just another team's backup.

Like a fine wine this thread is.
