From QB competition to captain

 

He has the keys to the offense.  Hopefully he can have us respectable this year.

OK, granted, it is the end of a work day and I am tired.  But riddle me this:  Last year there were 14 playoff teams.  He says 6 of them will miss the playoffs this year, leaving 8 to repeat.  Then there will be 5 new playoff teams.

If 6 of last year's playoff teams miss, unless they are reducing the field by a team, do there not need to be 6 new playoff teams to replace them?

Or do I need a drink more than I think I do? 

[Sgt Schultz]

OK, he listed 6 new teams but said there were 5. 

I was going to further my morbid curiosity by seeing which conference was missing a team, thinking it might give the Panthers one less barrier on their playoff run.  But, alas, both conferences have 7 teams based on his list.

Now I can have that drink to celebrate having solved this great mystery.

Additional side note: In the same vein as Verge, congrats and best wishes to our buddy @ellis

Have fun, dude

Are we really not going to start Bozeman?

Elf will sprain a pinky or something by the 2nd quarter anyway

Because heavy rains are predicted in the Charlotte area throughout the weekend, the organization will be painting the lines for both sporting events — soccer lines in yellow and football lines in white — on the artificial surface before the weekend.

Not sure if he’s a starter (not too familiar with Browns secondary)

Based on the weather forecast, lines for the Charlotte FC Saturday match and Carolina Panthers Sunday opener have to be painted prior to the weekend to ensure that the markings needed to play both games will be in place before the rain. Following the Charlotte FC match, the yellow MLS lines will be removed.

Our run D

My fear is that this game is similar to last years game against Washington. Where they simply ran the ball down our throats. 

For all the talk about Burns sack numbers/finishing plays, he’ll need to show that he isn’t a liability against the run

This. Watch Jacoby throw less than ten passes. Chubb is going to eat up the interior.

I’m not worried at all about this game, which is why I’m worried about this game.

I had to fears when Charlotte and Tepper got a soccer team. 

1) Artificial turf 

2) Lines from both sport on the same time making the field look like an amateur stadium.

I think the Panthers will win, but it'll be a win that like...no one feels good about.
