A little conflicted...

Ok I'm obviously pulling for the Panthers. They are my team, and I pretty much have never had a "second" team. But dangit now I sort of have a couple of them.

One of my former basketball players (I'm a high school coach) is a rookie with the Giants now.  I'm admittedly pulling for him to have a good game. Still a strong Panthers win, but I want him to play well. Great, great kid.

Also I went to high school with Brandon Beane so I want to see the Bills do well also.

But yeah, Go Panthers!  Hope we win by 30 but BJ Hill has 10 tackles.

Anyone else ever have those conflicted types of feelings?  What's the solution?  Drink more?

I have teams I like and teams I don't like, but I never really find myself "conflicted" when it comes to the Panthers.

The only time I could really say I wavered was when the Patriots played the Falcons. That was more a "lesser of two evils" sort of thing though.

Agree with this

    IMO, it is perfectly fine to root for individuals on opposing teams when this situation arises.

 

    I had a High School buddy who wound up winning an Olympic Gold. When he came to town, he got booed just like everyone else. But after the game? He was still a buddy. 

 

    Bros before foes.

      Defensive Tackle: The Need that Shall Not be Named

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ?

      Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
