Luke Kuechly on the goal line touchdown

My wish is that you may sometimes witness in person the intensity that Luke brings to the game, up close and personal. 

After giving up the touchdown to Jacksonville, a meaningless score in an even more meaningless game, Luke went nuts. Trash talking the Jags enough to make a sailor blush.

He then spent the entire rest of the game in the officials ears, letting them know what he was seeing. This may actually be the most productive thing he could do on the field last night that may actually yield some good results. The officials know the players, and vice versa. I suspect building those relationships can and do have some effect on their calls. Whether they would ever admit to it or not. .

I have a theory and it basically boils down to the fact that Luke hates the Jags. Apparently when we last played Jax in 2015 in the media room a Jaguars reporting was talking poo about Luke and talking about how Yeldon was going to pop Luke and show him how real football was played, or some other bullshit. Luke was, of course, concussed in that game. He was playing like a man possessed last night.

    • There are several posters that only post negative at all times.   8 wins is a big jump from 5 and we still have 2 games.  Jaguars have a much more talented roster than us and have underachieved for years. 
    • All of this noise is just setting us up to lose Week 18 and proclaim life's not fair. If there's one thing I know in my 30+ years of watching the Hornets and Panthers, is that the bad guy always wins in the end. A team can be falling apart internally but we will still lose to them. A team's fanbase can be extra shitty and cocky and they will just win anyway. It always happens
    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
