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).

    • I have never seen this cat play a single snap of football, BUT, I really hope that we're not counting on a 25 yo, UDFA who played 6 years of college ball to suddenly replace our starting LB.  Sounds to me like Dean Jones needed a story and didn't have anything else to write about. Wishing the guy luck though, cool nickname.
    • I'll go 1 further than that. This 23 year old had spent 4 years as a middle of the pack college player before exploding onto the scene as a 5th year senior, then we have enough faith in him to trade up 1 spot so that we can get a 5th year option and guarantee his salary. So in about a year's time he went from a mid round pick to a first rounder. It would be hard NOT to let that go to your head! I'm going to trust that the staff know what they're doing with XL and not give him too much crap about being a dumbass LAST season, as long as he doesn't continue to be one.
    • From Brugler's scouting report... Tavareon “Bam” Martin-Scott picked up his nickname because of the fireworks celebration he typically receives to celebrate his birthday. He grew up playing pee wee football in Fort Wayne, Ind., but developed late and was mostly a part-time player until his senior year at Snider High (alma mater of Jessie Bates). He posted 87 tackles and 6.0 sacks as a senior in 2018, but it wasn’t enough to put him on the recruiting radar. A no-star recruit, he played two seasons with Dodge City (Kan.) Community College and then received several SEC offers. His playing time and production gradually increased each season for the Gamecocks, and he put intriguing flashes on film. Martin-Scott is a good-sized athlete, with pursuit speed to match races to the perimeter. He competes with a banger mentality to pinball off blocks and stay determined on his path to the ball. Overall, Martin-Scott freelances a tad too much with inconsistent steps in coverage, but he is a classic run-and-hit linebacker who likes to play loose and chase plays — necessary ingredients for NFL special teams. grade: Free Agent
