Even with this mess of questionables and IRs, it will be yet another low point in the season when Kirk fugging Cousins plays 4 quarters of football while Carolina does their patented 20 minute playing time  disappearing act. The Vikes catch up and take the lead in the 3rd and hold on for a 27-20 win.

Alright I'll spoil it for you guys/gals:

1st Quarter- Panthers receive kick. They execute a nice little drive that ultimately stalls out at the 25. Zane Gonzales hits the kick. 3-0 Panthers. Defense gets an excellent stop and sacks Kirk Cousins. We come back on a short field and Darnolds hits Robby Anderson for a touchdown on a wide open double move. Panthers 10-0 Huddle is rejoicing. Chuck makes a new account just to join the game thread.

2nd Quarter- Minn threatens but ultimately a costly turnover nets them 0 points. The panthers move the ball well, but an untimely holding penalty costs Hubbard a huge run. Two drives net in another Zane Gonzales FG. Panthers 13-0. Despite only having 54 total yards the entire half, Minn executes the 2 min drill perfectly and steal a FG right as the clock expires. Panthers 13-3. Somehow, no one seems particularly worried the panthers should be up 21+ points right now. The huddle takes halftime off to discuss the finer points of mRNA vaccines.

3rd Quarter- Zod has already proclaimed that the Panthers are winning the Superbowl and Terrell McClain will be the superbowl MVP. Minn comes out guns blazing and leaves our defense flat footed on an easy touchdown. Panthers 13-10. Sam Darnold gets sacked to end consecutive drives. The defense holds strong but ultimately gives up a FG. Tied 13-13. Darnold, now trying to get the mojo back from the first half, forces a ball to Moore which turns into a pick 6 by Patrick Peterson (still exorcising BoA demons from that Arizona NFC championship game). Minn 20-13. The huddle game chat goes nuclear, there is at least three different posts correlating vaccine mandates to the Panthers sudden downturn from 3-0.

4th Quarter. A sack fumble from Darnold turns into three points for Minn. Minn 23-13. Panthers respond and have a good drive, that is again, hamstringed by penalties. Ultimately Rhule punts on 4-2 from the Vikings 43. The punt nets 18 yards as it rolls in the endzone off the foot of *insert name here of new punter*. The defense pulls a rabbit out of there ass and makes Kirk Cousins really like that by getting a crushing INT. The o line summons their darkest energy and somehow puts together a competent drive. It ends in a FG however despite being 4th and goal from the three. Minn 23-16. With two minutes left the defense forces Minn off the field. The Panthers drive starts with a dart to DJ Moore, who absorbs contact from a MAC truck but somehow stays upright, and gains 20 yards. The Huddle gets their hopes up. 

Sam throws an ill advised pick to Robby in double coverage on the next play. Vikings win.

Why not let CMC suit up if he feels good to go .  Go heavy with Chuba in the first half . If we go flat in the third quarter then let CMC change things up .  Go run heavy all game wearing their line down and take your shots downfield just to keep them honest .  NO run up the gut when they are 8 men in the box .  Play action with double moves will work .  Keep Sam upright and give him time to adjust . Keep pounding .

I am willing to bet that the Panthers jump out to a big lead and then blow it by letting Kirk "Anti-vax" (kissing) Cousins absolutely dismantle the defense after deciding to play prevent coverage since the second quarter.

Oh wait......that was last year.....

BUT, I would not be too surprised if a very, very similar outcome happens this time.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
