Philbillys don't let facts get in the way of insulting someone. It's their culture. Insult complete strangers before fighting them. Rob you if they win and then Philadelphia Parking Authority tows the victim's car while their recovering in the hospital. Completely different set of manners than Southern gentlemen and ladies have.

I love Parking Wars. Just sayin' lol

Their D is pretty damn good, especially considering the positions Bradford puts them in with his turnovers.  They're middle of the pack (15th) in yards per game, but they're 6th in points allowed.  They'll give up yardage, but they're stingy to give up points.

Comparatively, the Panthers rank 7th in both yards per game and points allowed.

They've also forced the most turnovers in the NFL (16) compared to our 11 turnovers.  The big difference there is that the Eagles have turned the ball over themselves 14 times compared to our 5.  Our D should have opportunities to create some turnovers this week.

Nothing builds confidence than playing the NFC East. If Philly thinks they are going to beat us like the Giants on our field they are going to get there Hart broken.

we play Luck before Rodgers. Say what you will about Luck but him and cam are the two best young qbs in the league and he has shown time and time again he keeps his team in football games

 

Yes, Luck is good.

I watched him in the New England game though and he threw some of the most horrible passes I've ever seen, missing wide-open receivers.  He threw stupid passes too into coverage.

The myth of Football Jesus Andrew Luck is just exactly that... a myth.  He's just another good, young QB with potential.

he is trying to play through a shoulder injury.  that is like watching Cam last year and calling him slow and overhyped as a great runner.

Luck can play lights out.  He still throws a couple of balls every game he shouldn't.....but his health is holding him back this year.

Except that his completion % this year is pretty much at his career average.

And his interception rate isn't that much higher (7% this year instead of his career 5%).

I'm not big on completion %.  Offense and what QBs are asked greatly influence what a good % should be for any given player.   Neither Newton or Luck play the pitch and YAC game some fancy completion % QBs have.

Luck has is flaws and you can clearly see he is hurt now.  But healthy, I got him and Cam in the same tier.

Fair enough.

That ain't gonna keep me from not giving him the benefit of the doubt after three years of the NFL media giving him blowjobs though... lol.

Oh now I do agree media has unfairly propped up just about every young QB in the NFL.....and tried to push Newton down.

Wilson, Kapernick, Luck, RGIII....media all jumped quick to put these guys in the highest tier arguable at any success.   Newton has always been the redheaded step child of young NFL QBs.....him and the actual red head in Cincy.   

I personally think Cam, Luck and Dalton are better overall QBs than Wilson.  Wilson has been hidden in that offense and is the worst of the 4 (Cam, Luck, Dalton, Wilson) playing in the pocket.

if you haven't watched Bill Burr's standup in Philly on youtube.  Google it, watch it, thank me later.

If you take a look at his blog entry in regards to that specific performance about what happened it makes it that much better.

http://billburrlive.blogspot.com/2008/09/city-of-brotherly-love.html

As small excerpt.

So we pull into the Tweeter Center and immediately gaze upon a sea of White dudes, most with shaved heads, grilling and drinking. If it weren..t for all the Eagles jerseys, I would have thought we were at a White Power rally.

cam makes just as many bad throws as luck. The difference is this year cam is getting MVP talk and luck isn't. All because the panthers have a better team than the colts. The colts have no oline or defense. Luck sat 2 games. Imagine if he was healthy for those two division games were 40 year old hasselbeck embarrassed the Texans. 

Again a lot of y'all fall into traps the media sets for y'all hook line and sinker. 

Cam and luck are virtually neck and neck stat wise but everyone in their mother who is still butt hurt about luck staying at Stanford that extra year won't allow themselves to move past that and concede that they are both the two best young qbs in the league.

Not at all. Cam hasn't been hailed as the jesus young QB that does no wrong like Luck. The real difference is the media is finally seeing what they refused to see and report.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
