let's just take a minute to thank the Bucs and Saints on good seasons

I bet you're saying - "What the hell do we need to be thanking these teams for? The playoffs haven't even started yet!" Well all I'm doing here is thanking them for being good teams. Of course this is just spectulation, but playing good teams ultimately makes for a better, more tested team. The Panthers should do well this postseason if all keeps clicking like it has the past few weeks.

We can thank New Orleans for their prolific passing attack. Their torching of our secondary in Week 17 should be a reminder than if faced against a team like Arizona in the second round, they will need to step up their game or go home.

We can thank Tampa Bay, not simply for completely self-destructing, but for destroying the Panthers back in Week 6. That loss exposed the biggest weakness of the Panthers. Stop Williams and Stewart, and force Jake into making mistakes. No team effectively shut down the Panthers ground game like they did that game. It was a great learning experience that the Panthers used to destroy Tampa on MNF, and to retool the running game for the playoff push.

We'll see you guys next season.

I thank Tampa for doing one of the great choke jobs in NFL history: 9-3 and then missing the playoffs! Great job Chucky! You are one of the most overrated coaches in the NFL. Hope they sign you to a lifetime contract!

I thank New Orleans for throwing the ball all over the field and failing to realize what wins games in the NFL. 5,000 yards, but only 8 wins. Great job Sean Peyton. You are one of the most overrated coaches in the NFL. Hope they sign you to a lifetime contract.

The team I would thank would be the Denver Broncos for being 3-0 against the rest of the division. They were 5-8 against the rest of the league, including their own crappy division. Kind of remarkable that they beat the Falcons in Atlanta if you consider that.

    • 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.
    • 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.
