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.

      DJ Moore. The quitting WR

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By panfanman · Posted

      Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?

      Bucky Brooks eats humble pie. You want a couple of slices?

      When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
