Can I just say how impressive the Peanut Punch is in general? People might not appreciate how difficult that is when you see it in slow-mo. But that's a moving target, about the size of a grapefruit, wrapped up in the arms of a 200+ pound guy who's bearing down on you. Not to mention you can't throw a straight punch, but rather you gotta kinda squat and throw a semi-sorta-kidney-shot-upper-cut to get under his shoulder pads and above his forearm. And then not just find the target, but land that punch on a round object with enough force to knock it free.  That's something not many UFC fighters could do.

And to see it executed that perfectly, it makes me swell up a bit. Ain't lyin. That changed my way of thinking about Gaulden. He's been meh all training camp, but if that's how he plays in an actual game situation, that's a guy I'd like to see on the field more.

The thing about Gaulden is that’s why we drafted him he’s a player a play making dog with good nb coverage and a turnover waiting to happen from punches to rips to picks he just tested like one of the huddlers behind the keyboard but when you pop on his tape it’s like he’s the best player on the field at Tenn last night looked like that tape I’ve seen of him at Tenn.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
