$12 Tampa Bay tickets on stubhub now.  $12 to see NFL football. 

So as much as a stadium beer. Eat and drink at a tailgate and that's a cheap 3 hours of...entertainment? I wonder how much stadium food gets tossed at the end with seats being so empty?  I imagine the team store could be run with just a couple of employees on game days now.

Yet another fail on an attempt to show the NFL that he’s smarter than everyone else. Choose prototypical physically limited underdog and turn him in to a champion. Receive praise and recognition for being so unconventional…. only to fail again, demonstrating that the status quo is the MO for good reason. 

I’ve come to see that Tep seems to loathe winning conventionally, or he just hates winning, period. 

Is Chuba is the doghouse? He has shown that getting him in to the second level makes for a long day on their defense, yet they have designed 0 plays for specifically him. It’s like they want a 30+ yard play on every throw or they run Chuba up the middle, then throw Sanders in on 3rd down for a failed run up the gut. 

It just feels bizarre, the energy, like there is something else. Are players weary that Tep’s plan is to 100% put Bryce back in regardless? This team is not able to truly move forward with him still wearing our uniform. 

I don’t know. I know there’s now tape and all of that and we’ve gone back to being embarrassing….  the whole feel is just weird.

    • 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.
