Well that was awesome. 

Are we still getting a Panther vs Packer breakdown.  In other words, me want more!

i felt my articles have become overly formulaic, so i decided to switch it up this week (and you can't turn on creativity like a faucet, so when it comes you gotta channel that poo. i spent about 30 hours on the cubist piece alone)

besides, everything i was going to say about schemes was broken down beautifully here already, so it would've been redundant.

That's fine but if we lose....it's your fault ;)

You outdid yourself, Philly! Great presentation & awesome paintings. Thank you for all the work I know went into this. I especially like the 2nd painting with Cam but love both. If only I had a way to channel my feelings after such a great win without jumping on the Huddle .......... sigh.

Once in a generation fate bestows upon some heretofore nonchalant naif a glimpse of the divine: the ineffable wonder of something so brilliant, something so unspeakably awesome that it transcends the human collection of senses.

I'm reminded, for some reason, of the day my 2nd Divorce was finalized and I beheld, in all its glory and beauty, the words (forever etched in digital form) "Divorce Judgment". The jerking signature of the District Court Judge presiding and the cold, determined and final stamp "True Copy".

Signed, this the 4th day of November, 2015.

 

Brings a tear to my eye. Great job Philly. Great job.

These original oil-on-canvas works of art are available for purchase together as a collection. Bidding starts at $400 for the two of them. Art is an appreciating commodity, and when I win the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for literature this will be worth many times such a paltry investment.

You may submit your bids in conjunction with any excessive adulation below. :-)

So much better than some stupid ass Blue Dog reprint.   George Rodrique can suck it.  This thread contains true art.  I feel like James Watson and Francis Crick must have felt when they finished the race for the double helix.

    • Not sure if they are happy but realize they can’t upgrade everything this year and are content with the group
    • Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers  
    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
