Lady luck is part of the equation....

I know many are not exactly enthusiastic about the ugly win yesterday. 

 

But I am. Lady luck is every bit a part of the playoff equation as anything else. All teams have poo games from time to time, it is the teams that lady luck favors that tend to make the playoffs. 

 

I would not want it every week, but an ugly win from time to time tells me this could be the season for us.

When we play this poorly and are still able to win I’m a very happy man. I’m sure this’ll be a reality check for the team and they’ll come out guns ablazing and ready in NO. And the calendar will read December.... Rivera’s teams are the best in December. Aints and Viqueens going down

I don't know why, but there seems to be a lot more casual fans on the huddle this year than in the past. And I say that because the lot of the topics that are being discussed are of more the Casual fans opinion rather than those of the experienced NFL fan.

This is a perfect example. No team makes a championship run without the ball bouncing their way and a few ugly wins. In the end no one cares about how you won.

Ugly wins are wins.  No team just rolls people every week.  Even the Patriots in seasons they have been dominant squeak by.  That is what good teams do.  Find ways to win ugly when they aren’t on fire.  Everyone gets cold in football

What part seemed lucky our dominanting D line making a play like Horton has done early in the year Luke who always around the ball picks it up runs it in. Or our big time punt returner if you check his history takes a sixty yard punt back nothing seemed like luck about either. Good execution good players making a play this is what we should expect a little more he's been on the brink of breaking a punt every game it seems. He's hitting reverses for a easy 30 yards the boy's got juice but nothing about yesterday said LUCK no tipped pass falls into Lucks hands while not looking thenhe dashes off to the end zone. We were better in two phases of a three phase sport which paid off in two TD's nothing lucky about that.

Luck is one thing, but the Jets essentially gift wrapped this for the Panthers with 3 botched play calls for 4th and goal, ridiculously wide open drops (including one for a TD) and next level stupid roughing-the-passer penalty to ice any chance of a comeback.

We don't have the power running attack to protect the offense from Cam's lapse in consistent production.  This looks like a one-and-done team for the playoffs unless they catch Cam at the perfect time for a streak of great play.  He lays an egg next week against NO, this place will implode (and rightfully so).

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      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.

      Todd Bowles is losing his locker room… Canales meanwhile

      By amcoolio · Posted

      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

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      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.
