Watching the Steelers game

Sitting at home watching football with my family, a play happens that takes me back to several calls against the Panthers this season and the "Shaq treatment". Which is a very real thing btw. It's not just Cam, the entire team gets the Shaq treatment. 

For example in this game the receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers goes across the middle and gets tattooed by CJ Mosley. Good hit, good football. But he is deemed as "defenseless" you'll see where I'm going with this in a minute. I hear Tony Dungy say "Helmet to helmet contact, definitely a defenseless receiver.

My point is it doesn't matter whether or not the guy couldn't defend himself because that's football. Poo happens, us know? When Cam takes off he's defined as a runner and according to our last commentators "The helmet to helmet hits will keep on comin'". Keep on comin'?  I'm struggling to watch football at all right now. All it is, just a bunch of jockey media dweebs making up and lobbying for rules as they go. The last time I checked, the NFL changed when they deemed helmet to helmet as illegal, doesn't make a fug runner or not. ILLEGAL. But of course, according to these assclowns there are always exceptions to the matter.

 

And you gotta just love how when our QB gets demolished right after throwing it in the pocket... And he throws the pass away where there's no one there the intentional grounding penalty will offset the fugging illegal hit that gets flagged??? What the actual fug man?

It is absurd. I see a lot of douche nozzles from other teams and media clowns say "it happens to every qb and every game". They are correct, but it doesn't happen as much as our qb and at least some of their hits get flagged. None of ours do. That's a fact. They showed how many RTP calls cam has had this year, they showed three, but one of those was negated and not counted. That makes two. Zero from last year might I add. If that doesn't tell you something I don't know what will. People will say cam flopped, that was early in his career. What qb doesn't flop sometimes. This year he has been pleading for penalties, which he should because he's getting killed, and no one is listening. Everyone calls him a complainer, yet Touchdown Tommy literally runs and yells in the faces of refs and no one says anything about it. Most of the time he gets the call. What crap.

But Cam Newton is black and he plays in Carolina. So, why should he get the calls.

I have been refusing to call it a race thing. I would hope a company, where the best players and most of the players are black, would be above that crap...I'm starting to think it may be racist. I hope I'm wrong.

It's most likely not a race thing. That argument really has no merit imho.

I feel they just hate Cam Newton. They hate his style, the fact he's being successful. The media hates being wrong, and when they see Cam Newton is not a bust like they predicted, they're doing everything they can to bring him down.

Him winning MVP was the trigger point for everyone. They just want us to fail, while we keep on winning.

They got their fun this year though. Next year, when they sleeping on us...(just the way we like them)

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By MHS831 · Posted

      THE WALKER BACKGROUND Here is where this gets weird.  Walker is a serviceable LT who could benefit from Gilbert's experience and coaching.  However, he is known for below-average run blocking and frequent penalties.  As you know, a penalty from a LT is a drive killer. A former 7th round pick, Walker has outperformed expectations, but he still ranks around the middle of the pack when compared to other tackles.  Having said that, it seems as if the Panthers are banking on Walker for a year and will then make a decision on Ickey.  In Green Bay, Walker was the starter, but the Packers weren't exactly sold on him. While most people think the oft-injured David Bakhtiari retired in 2023, he really wanted to keep playing.  He was released on March, 11, 2024.  Walker stepped in and took the reserve LT job from Nijman in that 2023 season, but they were close--probably because Nijman was more of a swing OT.  However, Nijman was a free agent in 2024, so the Panthers signed him just a week after Bakhtiari was released, leaving the Packers only Walker to play LT.  A month later, the Packers drafted a LT in the first round, Jordan Morgan out of Arizona.  Most Packer fans believe that Morgan would have beat out Walker for the LT job in 2024, but he had some shoulder injuries and went to IR after 6 games. In 2025, when the Packers had an injury at G during the season, instead of putting Morgan in at LT for Walker as planned, they played Morgan to guard because Walker can only play 1 position.  The Packers currently project Morgan back to LT for 2026, which is probably why they did not seek to retain Walker, at least in part. Based on this history, it is safe to say this: Walker is better than Nijman. We have the benefit of them being on the same team in a direct competition to help us see that. Walker is probably closer to Ickey, except for the penalties.  That bothers me a lot.  Bryce sucks when we get behind the sticks, and a run-first offense with a poor run-blocking LT is not ideal.   Regardless, I think Ickey and the Panthers find themselves in limbo right now, so the Walker deal comes at a perfect time for the GM.  Gilbert, perhaps, can work on the penalties and maybe a TE like Tremble can help offset the run blocking issues, so maybe we can actually stay the course at OT.  Maybe we do not draft a LT--maybe we draft a RT to groom behind Moton.  Maybe we draft a C.  At LT, the Panthers do not want to overreact, especially if Ickey returns to form or Walker demonstrates improvement.  Depth is certainly a concern, but a solid RT can be that depth.   I doubt the Panthers draft a LT in rounds one or maybe two.  It seems we have bigger needs at Will LB, DT, TE, and maybe S.

      THIS! IF we go offense at 19, it should be the trenches, which is no longer a pressing need with Waler's signing. 3 biggest needs in 2026, IMO, are DT, FS, ILB. We need to upgrade our starters at those positions and I expect anyone rafted at 19 to start immediately. I could rationalize OT (right or left) or CB since we're an injury away from a severe drop off AND have huge offseason concerns at both next year. Unless Bryce plays a lot better, I want to upgrade QB next year so I could get behind locking in a 2027 starter this year if the right guy is there. You COULD argue NCB and TE are positions where we need to upgrade our starters, sure, but not at 19. Both positions can still be upgraded on day 2.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By 45catfan · Posted

      He's firmly a second rounder and I don't think we would go that high for a TE this draft.  Third?  Possibly. I mean Rhule drafted Tremble in the third round who clearly was just a blocking TE.
