US AGAINST THE WORLD!


LUUUUUKE

Recommended Posts

Just hearing the reaction on ESPN and they're talking about the history of our organization and brought up Rae Carruth.

The bottom line here and make no mistake gents, this is what happened:

He was charged, went to court, a judge (a single figure) said he was guilty, the organization did their research and believe that he will beat it in a jury trial.

Let me say what Dave and Ron could not. In the history of this League, we make decisions based upon convictions and the legal process. The NFL is reacting to the Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and now Greg Hardy situation trying to save face and sponsorships. Goodell should have taken the fall for the Rice situation because he covered it up! It's unfair to the player, and our organization to take the fall for the League.

As it is, no one affiliated with the League can say that openly. The talking heads won't even say it, because they'll lose their damned jobs. Let's call it what it is though, BS!

If you think our guys aren't paying attention to what's being said you're wrong. The League is Offically on notice! It's #UsAgainstTheWorld in Carolina. If the Steelers had any shot Sunday night, they have ZERO shot now. The only thing that makes it better, is that the entire League will watch as we dismantle them.

What the NFL is failing to realize, is that they are further empowering the Media. If they would have just stood pat, and explained that every American is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law as guaranteed in our Constitution, then none of this poo would be happening.

The NFL is beyond scared right now with Anheuser Busch and other sponsors threatening to pull their money. It's ridiculous, and the NFL and Goodell have royally screwed this up.

Now the Vikings/Panthers have to pay players that can't play. Like I said, they should have stood firm on the principles that they have stood on for years. They got worried about public perception instead of following the legal process.

The only way to get a bully to leave you alone is to stand up to them. Most of us learned that at an early age but it appears Goodell never did.

If Hardy is found not guilty I really hope we sign him to a multi-year team friendly deal. I think he's learned his lesson as far as who he keeps close to him. What would be the benefit of dropping him after this year if found not guilty? I guess our cap would be in better shape, but if his stock drops as much as I think it could mean we would sign for cheap. If we don't you know some golden, do know wrong, organization will sign him like the Patriots or Saints.

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
