Proof that Sport Illustrated "predictions" are BS

Sports Illustrated has posted their season predictions.  What a load of poo.

 

NFC South:

1. Saints

2. Falcons

3. Bucs

4. Panthers --- "No matter how impressive their December rally was, I can’t get past how shoddy a team the Panthers were for most of last season. When you mix in their ho-hum free agency work (Ted Ginn, Michael Oher, and Jonathan Martin?) and a puzzling top of the draft (Shaq Thompson and trading up for Devin Funchess?), it's really hard to view Carolina as a playoff contender."

 

SHODDY?   Who even uses that word anymore?!

Can't rage till after noon on Sunday. State law.

No raging and no buying champagne at the local Harris Teeter to make Mimosas before noon in Sunday. Both those rules get me almost every other weekend because when I can't buy champagne I want to rage. It truly is an evil, twisted, circle of bible belt laws.

LMFAO!!! Wow...so let me get this straight. We are the defending, back to back division champs. We did nothing but greatly improve the weaker areas on our team. We have a completely healthy Cam Newton entering the prime of his career.....and we are gonna finish dead fuging LAST in the division?!?!?!? Tampa starting a rookie QB, the Saints who absolutely gutted their team, including by far their scariest offensive weapon. (Not to mention Brees getting another year older) Then the Falcons who will still field an absolute poo defense...and we are supposed to finish behind all them?

Goddamn I don't know if the people at SI are just super fuging lazy, or super fuging stupid...probably a combination of both.

Shoddy should be used in reference to the confidence that these guys would have putting down a thousand dollar bet for each prediction they made.

Lazy ass journalism. A more accurate analysis would have read something like this.

After a bad start to the 2014 season, the Panthers showed amazing resilience. They finished the season strong to take their 2nd straight divsion title.

It will be interesting to see how good they can be this year with a fully healthy Cam Newton. Cam will have time this offseason to gell with his old & new receivers, and he has the luxury of operating behind a much improved O line. No off fieild distractions, and the emegence of several rookies last season, coupled with the only elite defense in the division, should make the Panthers the class of the NFCS once again.

Well you see... it's okay to be shitty as long as you are consistently shitty.    Us going on a late season surge to crush the Falcons and the Saints and win the division was a big no-no.   If we stayed consistently shitty like the other teams in our division did,  we would obviously be talked up right now.

Not buying your mimosa ingredients on Saturday just show a lack of planning on your part.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
