Lady luck is part of the equation....

Recommended Posts

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.

Lol, Igo started this thread...

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).

    • I'd like to see the gameday chats come back, especially if you can get it mobile compatible and like those support chats that stay on the screen even when you move around the site. We could use them during CLTFC and Hornets games now too.
    • There's a lot of truth here, but at the same time, that one year of production we might be paying for is actually paying for a development arc. And a lot of players have those. QB is the most complicated position in sports, hands down.  I'm not saying Bryce will make it past the hump this year, the odds are stacked against him just like any QB in the league that isn't already considered an elite player (and there are only about 5-8 of those at most). Arcs happen, and slow arcs happen, too. Sam Darnold seemed a wash up for the Jets and a horrible mistake. He was better with us, but still couldn't carry a bad team on his shoulders (or bad coaching). He went to Minnesota and got a shot under better coaching with more mature eyes to see the field. Something sparked and then he took his team to the Super Bowl and brought home a ring. Baker Mayfield had a similar arc, and may yet hit the big game. Hell, locally, Jake Delhomme had one. Or Bryce could flutter back down having already hit his peak. It happens. More often than any of us want to admit. We've paid for a full development arc for Bryce, but we've had it on rookie deal rates and that's been a savings that has let us build out the rest of the team, which was really needed. Maybe we end up diving back into the QB pool in the first round next season. Might be the guy, might not.  But he'll be set up with a better team that Bryce was when he started. Or maybe, just maybe, Bryce adds another seven TDs and loses four INTs on the season. Grabs three more wins and maybe a playoff win, maybe two. It's not completely impossible and that'd be great for the team and for him.  We're just going to have to tune in and see how it plays out. Probably won't be boring. 
    • I am holding out hope for a miraculous run this season. But you know the narrative around him is peak delusional when the Panthers social team can post this without even a hint of irony. Four years and almost 50 games into his career he still looks like he's never set foot in the weight room. Really?
