The NFL Shield At Midfield

Denver is legitimately one of the worst teams in the league. I honest to God would take us to beat them straight up. That said, yeah we could use a DJ Moore right about now

Eddie Pinero has been on an absolute tear since the debacle in Atlanta last year

This clock management is like Ron Rivera at his worst

Our defense is going to end up with more receptions than any other Panther not named Thielen

Well Burns can get to the QB when the OL lets him because it's a screen, so that's something

fug it, Jarvis Landry is on the couch

So where was the holding

I swear if we're watching Miles Sanders hop scotching up to the line again this drive

Chinn is a thumping box safety/hybrid LB. Trying to play him in coverage is a misuse of his skills.

fug you Jefferson, go hit the griddy in the tent

Sanders reminds me of the worst days of watching DeShaun Foster

He was hitting dudes in the facemask on the last drive, I know you have a hate boner for him but maybe try turning your TV on. He's playing right now.

Burns totally washed out on a potential sack

Well unless we Panthers up this punt Bryce is going to get another look e: lol I'm YTTV so I'm behind

Chark and Ian Thomas got hit in the face with a ball. You have to catch that poo.

Josh Allen isn't completing that pass, the defender read that all the way and jumped it. It's bad playcalling.

They're buying beer and food in his stadium, he doesn't give a fug

That ball hit Chark in the face. Bryce can get it there but they have to catch it

I'm no expert either, but that post you were responding to was lol worthy. I think we're both saying roughly the same thing, which is that Vegas takes what the media and fans are saying in conjunction with other factors and uses it to set point spreads with maximum profit in mind. They're rarely "fooled".

Vegas isn't "easily fooled" by media hype, they're probably the least susceptible to that of anyone. Sports books manipulate lines leading up to kickoff to get people to place dumb bets all the time. Like Pittsburgh is a 3 point favorite over Houston today, Houston covered the spread last week when they blew out the Jaguars, so John Q. Public thinks it's a no brainer to take Houston to cover. Vegas, figuring the Steelers are going to cover, sets a low point spread to get the public taking Houston. To quote Mark Knopfler, them guys ain't dumb. They know what they're doing.

This to me is one of the things that the TV experience doesn't capture. Being able to see the whole field as a play develops in person is just different in a way that's hard to describe. Like back in the 2000s the whole secondary would basically cheat over to Steve Smith's side of the field.

Nebraska is on the board. We've got a game now boys.

If you're a musician and have bought anything from Sweetwater you can relate to this. "Hey NFL Shield, it's your sales engineer Dave calling to see how those guitar picks you bought three years ago are working out for you"

Maybe people would be willing to pay to go watch crappy football in person if we had a crazy tailgating culture like the Bills, an amazing state of the art stadium like SoFi, or something like Allegiant in a destination city like Las Vegas. With the current state of the team I can't blame people for thinking it's not worth the hassle. Charlotte is a transplant city and the only way you're going to get a hyped home crowd is if you're winning a lot. I haven't been to a game since 2018 but from what I've read here the stadium experience has just gotten worse every year.
