Bruce Arians blows hot air


CarolinaSunday

Recommended Posts

Bruce Arians, admitted liar, is trying to spin that the weather benefits his team (who practiced all week in near perfect conditions) more than the Panthers (who practiced all week in conditions that will more closely approximate game time conditions).  Bruce doth protests too much, methinks.

Quote

"Sunday is going to be 37, wind about six miles an hour," Arians said, via the Arizona Republic. "You couldn't ask for better than that in Charlotte."

Arians said, other than practicing with wet footballs, Arizona didn't worry one iota about the weather. The coach added that the weather conditions could actually give the Cardinals an advantage because their practices weren't interrupted or affected.

"This is one of the best practice areas in the league," he said of the Arizona facility. "Indoors or outdoors, we're never going to miss or disrupt our week of practice. But yeah, that's (practicing outside) got to be hurting (the Panthers)."

Man, I guess if Bruce said it, he must be right. I mean, practicing in the same temps you'll play in as opposed to practicing in 80% humidity at 75 degrees (I'm no ARI weatherman, I have no idea if this is accurate - sounds good though) has to be awful for your team...

Nah, Bruce. Gonna be a tough sell for you my man.

Well, practicing in Arizona sure as hell did not help his team the last two games.

They gotbthevever living poo beat out of them in Week 16 by the Hawks and were damn lucky to win last week against a mediocre Packers team.

They are about to walk into a buzz saw in Carolina...and they are all just too stupid to know it.

I get that this is a panther forum, and you're suppose to talk crazy about the opposing team. But your nuts if you think Bruce isn't a good guy or coach. 

Today he is the enemy. This is not the time to talk about what a great guy he is. This is football.

I mean just off his hat game along, I think he's one of the coolest coaches in the league. 

Nobody cares. He said something ridiculous. He's going to get mocked for it. Nobody cares if he's your bronie.

    • After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.
    • Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once. 
    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
