Well, we have played lousy for the most part this year - but last night proved that we are not a lousy team.

The media loves to cultivate teams like the Vikings and everybody's sweetheart Farve, so when they get beat by a team like ours they lash out like a jilted lover.

Kinda like any team who plays against the Yanks and Red Sox. Everyone else is sick of the love affair between the media and these two teams.

Yup, good analogy.

Giants are another good example. The media is so busy humping their leg, they haven't had time to look up and notice that the Giants are not very good.... but they are from NY, so they'll just keep humping their leg.

Eli Manning may be the most overrated QB in the NFL right now. He's looking pretty darn mediocre without that running game...

ummm....we have been a lousy team this year. with fox we've only had three winning records out of 8 years and he's the best coach we've ever had and people are clamoring for him to come back. a winning season is an exception to the norm.

panthers = lousy team until the panthers show otherwise.

We have been a lousy team at times this year. But we rose to the occasion against Favre's Vikings and Warner's Cardinals. We also played pretty well against Bree's Saints.

We've been a lot like that shiftless kid with a knife. He might not be worth a darn, but you don't want to run into him in a dark alley on the night when your number is up.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
