EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- It was, as Roman Harper surmised, the most disappointed 14-0 team you'll ever see. Ron Rivera was ticked that his team lost its composure and its lead. Dwan Edwards was annoyed that the defense had gotten lax on tackling with the game nearly in hand in the second half on Sunday. And practically everyone was furious at Odell Beckham Jr., whose on-the-field MMA undercard with Josh Norman defined a chippy, chaotic, physical and -- yes -- slightly disappointing 38-35 victory for the Carolina Panthers over the New York Giants.

Norman, speaking -- literally -- through clenched teeth, questioned Beckham's toughness after the Giants' star receiver melted down, at one point running at least 10 yards just to launch at Norman's head with his own helmet. When the locker room opened, Norman was sitting on his stool, wearing half his uniform, staring into space. Even after he took his time to shower and meticulously dress himself -- two bracelets, a watch, cufflinks in his French cuffs, a camel colored dress coat -- Norman narrowed his eyes, the pupils rimmed in red, as he spoke with a fury.

I'm so done with the "Norman did stuff too" comments. Norman did not go ten yards out of his way to launch himself at Beckham's head after a play was over. Norman did not give as much as he received and to suggest otherwise is beyond moronic and what Beckham did should not be downplayed, dismissed, or rationalized. It was dirty, it was pathetic, and it should come with heavy consequences.

Otherwise, good article.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
