How crazy is this making you?

Can't concentrate at work?

Driving your family nuts?

Making sure you're lucky shirt/cap/underwear is clean?

Checking on The Huddle every 5 minutes for updates?

Wanting SCP to install a webcam so the helmet can be watched all the time?

Just how loopy is waiting for the upcoming NFC Championship making you? And what are you doing to cope with it?

Or are you one of the calm, relaxed types that isn't sweating it?

It was worse last week.  If I have to admit it , I was worried that a first round exit would crap over this magical season.  All that talk about strength of schedule etc..etc.. was pissing me off because I knew this team was special.  That game was a relief.  Now I think the rust is knocked off from the bye, the media is giving the normal "Arizona is really the best team" fuel.  We all saw Carson Palmer wilting under the bright lights.  I remember he was Andy Dalton before Andy Dalton and if not for the champion that Larry Fitz is then they would have collapsed.   So I'm super excited but not bat poo crazy like last week.

I'm less nervous about the upcoming game than I was about the Seahawks game. The team showed what it could do on offense and defense in the 1st half against a team many were picking to win the NFC. They just need to put two good halves together next Sunday. 

Seattle 36 Ariz 6

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
