His write up pretty much says it all 

Arizona Cardinals(-4.5) at Carolina Panthers | 1 p.m. ET Sunday, Fox

Sucker. Me. You. Anybody talking up the Panthers and Bryce Young last week. Ooof, he was terrible. Two interceptions, two fumbles and a plethora of off-target throws. Worse, you can tell the Cowboys had no fear going against him. I can almost hear Micah Parsons telling his teammates, “This guy isn’t beating us.” Especially when he had to throw and was sacked six times in the second half. The Cardinals do not have a big pass rush, but Baron Browning is making an impact since coming over in a trade with Denver. The linebacker ranks 15th in pressure rate in the last five weeks at 15.4 percent. The wildly inconsistent Cardinals are in the playoff race, ran all over the Patriots last week and the Panthers are a little soft in that regard. … Yeah, there is plenty of room to jump back on the Panthers bandwagon and we’re begrudgingly hopping on — only because my hands wouldn’t work to pick the Cardinals as a road favorite.

The pick: Panthers

you'll have more fun at Carowinds, it's just 20 minutes south of BoA

Nahhh. I live out of state now and visiting for Christmas.  Got to go when you can for some of us. Last home game I went too was when we beat Lions in 19 degree weather. Vikings overtime loss before that one. Keep Pounding.

Good for you !

it is really  hard to watch this team at the stadium  in the Tepper era

a couple of down years with JR lead to better things 

bad years with Tepper, well, resulting in abysmal record and a team full of ‘just a guy’

…but, even the down years, time with friends and the other team had stars  …saw some great ones

i wish you a big time and fun with friends and or family

      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.
