Deadspin: why your team sucks 2014 Falcons and Bucs

Predictions?

i expect our receivers, offensive line, and running backs all to take a hit. I bet he'll really focus in on the misconception that we had a disastrous offseason. (Even if he knows we didn't it's a parody article and he has to go off something). He'll also mention how the panthers tend to return to mediocrity for a few years after having a good season.

Predictions?

 

- The 12-4 record was luck and we got all the breaks possible (kinda true) and will talk about the team getting eviscerated in the playoffs

 

- Ron Rivera will revert back to his old self. He will mock the fact that Mike Shula has a job by pointing out his Tampa record and stint at Alabama (also a fair point) 

 

- He will overstate the turnover in the WR corps and who we replaced it with.

 

- Something about JR's emotionless expression during the games and/or his history of "being cheap" and his role in the lockout

 

-You can copy and paste everything he said about Atlanta and Tampa area and fans and apply it to all of his Southeast cities.

 

- The fan emails will feature 1a. Guy who lives in the area that says no one cares, 1b. Guy who lives in the area that says everyone supports another team 2. Guy who wonders why he cares because of the stupid mistakes of management/ownership etc. 3. Guy who says the fanbase is full of idiots because they can't appreciate what they have in Kuechly, Newton, etc.

 

- He will mention Luke Kuechly and the call against the Patriots, but, in a rare twist, while he will take his shots at Cam Newton, he will also reference the Newton portion of Greg Howard's Deadspin article from last season about the history of black QB's in the NFL and how Cam Newton's mannerisms always make sportswriters and fans give dumb hot sports takes.

Best quote in the whole article about Atlanta is after the story, random  quotes from people:

 

"Andrew:

 

Atlanta has more people with Ebola than Super Bowl rings."

 

You know the CDC is there, you would think they could fix that.  Oh, yea, I forgot, they suck.

From the Bucs piece. 

 

Football-wise, the team cut ties with Darrelle Revis after burning two draft picks on him and handing him $16 million. Revis is now a Patriot, and of course he will instantly revert to All-Pro form now that he's out of Tampa. God goddamn you, Bucs. Stop handing New England good defensive backs for nothing. The Bucs tried to make up for Revis' loss by signing Mike Jenkins (who is fuging terrible) and Alterraun Verner (who cannot possibly be worse than Mike Jenkins). They also drafted receiver and world's greatest interview Mike Evans to help out Jike McGlenClown.

Also, Josh Freeman has died. I'm all but certain of it.

This was surprisingly good, you're on the wrong side of the keyboard buddy.

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
