Maybe it's time to sit down and write Jerry Richardson another letter

In 2013 after we lost the Bills game I was fed up and wrote Jerry Richardson an angry letter. @Kurb told me to post it on teh huddle, because Kurb posted on the huddle back then. I said NO KURB, this is for Jerry's eyes only. I'm going to appeal to the looming existential shades that come with advanced age and hope it doesn't turn out like the scene in Braveheart where King Edward is laying in bad hacking his lungs out and refuses to listen to his own daughter's pleas for William Wallace's life. So I signed it and mailed it.

It wasn't a particularly well written letter. I would probably craft it much differently now. But at the time, with the tenor of the season, it felt appropriate. I mailed it Monday morning, and six days later Jeremy captured a photograph of a man in a quiet trance, perhaps the most existentially ponderous photograph one's gaze may ever pass:

Jerry stood quietly in the end zone, gazing upon his team, probably with my letter tucked into his pocket, or maybe tucked inside his sock like old guys do with their money and other things near and dear to them. The Panthers, probably freshly inspired after he probably had Thomas Davis read the letter to them in the locker room, went out and blanked the New York Giants for four quarters, shutting them out and kicking off the first playoff season in half a decade and the beginning of the team's ascent to perennial glory.

Apparently I need to write him another one.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
