a 'real' superbowl? hahahaha, Lombardi is a Lombardi yo. I watched that game and I actually pulled for you guys. Jake kept you in that game. Ashamed to see what has happened to him.

I called the Saints to win the game (go check my post history, yo).

But I just expected to see them actually stuff it down the Colts throat, and Manning to throw like nobody's business. None of that happened.

The Saints didn't stuff anything. They dinked and doinked, and gimmicked their way to the win. What went on last night was a let down as far as that's concerned (and the commercials were just horrid).

It was a boring game from the standpoint that neither team took many risks outside of Payton's 4th down goal line attempts and the onside kick (which is ironically one of the biggest risks in the history of the SB). Other than that, both explosive offenses were playing not to lose. The Colts ran the ball more times in that one game than they did all season and the Saints were content with lots of short gains in the passing game.

The Colts blinked first and the Saints won by getting themselves into a position where the Colts couldn't afford a mistake. It's not to discredit the Saints at all, they won - but I thought it was funny that both these teams played pretty conservatively overall.

From the standpoint of fans outside of the NO's fan base, it was a boring game. But to Saints fans, it was the most exciting game they've ever witnessed. I mean heck, it was the SB and they won it. If us Panthers played that exact same game, it would be the most exciting game to us. The opinion is obviously biased from the fans of the winning team. He enjoyed it, it was exciting, and heck it should have been.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
