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.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
