Gotta admit, that nightmare is still a pretty vivid memory in my mind. At one point in the game I remember literally asking myself "what is happening?"

We went into that game with plenty of optimism, came out of it shattered, never really recovered.

I'm still undecided on the question of whether that game derailed our season or just exposed us. Granted, the result is the same either way.

Derailed on a dirty hit.

The Panthers were not very impressive on their way to 6-2, with the offense often sputtering along and defense suspect at best.

I hated watching Carolina getting dismantled by Pittsburgh, but it wasn't a complete surprise either.

There were several of us prior to that week who wondered whether we might be a paper tiger. I went into the game with the attitude that if we won it, we were legit.

Three hours later...ouch!

But maybe, just maybe, this means Pittsburgh isn't the best franchise for us to emulate as both our former and current owner has stated. 

Pittsburgh has a long history of sustained success.

Just about any team in the league other than the Patriots can only dream of accomplishing what the Steelers have over the years.

The one part of the Steelers that I would absolutely hope we imitate is their personnel department.

They've built an absolute machine over there. That's how they can let guys go and have a next man up ready so easily.

Yeah, but what about older players that still have a season or two left in the tank?

Cutting them loose too soon will deprive us of all those feel good moments.

Oh the humanity!

I feel like I've been deprived of a lot of "feel good" moments, but not necessarily those kind.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.

      Derek Carr Retires

      Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
