What makes the Huddle so special?

Every NFL team has a message board. Not all fan bases have a Huddle. Not all fan bases have a Riot. Not all online communites have a true community.

I met @uncfan888for the first time this year down in JAX at the Riot tailgate for maybe 5-10 minutes. We discussed the camera on my head and how excited we were for this season because it felt special. Not just special because of the product we had on the field but because what has been built off of the field. This was my first Riot experience and man was it awesome. We each went our separate ways and cheered on our team at the game.

Since then we've pied each other a couple times, a couple quotes there, some game day menu pics there. It may seem like a normal message board to most people but between us there was an unspoken bond. We weren't just a couple of idiots posting on a message board about our team. We were brothers in black and blue. When I found out I couldn't fly down to make the NFC championship game I was devastated. The blizzard fuged my flight and I was mad as all hell that I would miss this experience. @uncfan888 offered to help out in a way that might seem trivial to most. He stood through that entire game fighting sobriety and the pure ecstasy of watching your team whoop ass on a national stage and made sure that my rally bandana and game day program stayed untainted and immaculate. My prayer was answered and Trey mailed me a package that I will never forget.


Although I didn't get a chance to make the game I'll always remember the thoughtfulness and friendship of @uncfan888 once this magical season has come and gone. Black and Blue brothers for life.

I was standing in ice water the entire game like everyone else in the stadium, so if I set the program down, it definitely would have gotten ruined. Now @Dex has a garment fine enough to be buried in 

I had my program crammed into my back pocket and it dropped to the ground and was done for.  I spent the entire time exiting looking for a clean program.  None in sight.  As I was literally walking out of the stadium beyond the no re-entry point, I saw a lone program on a chair in perfect condition.  Like it was there for me.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔

      Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
