Don't mean to brag, but...

I don't mean to brag (which really means I do) but I did make a comment to Matt Moore when I visited practice last week that went something along the lines of "maybe it's the new helmet Matt, you should switch back to the old one" and there he was on Sunday wearing the same style helmet he wore last year and he has a career day....

When I made the comment he responded with "yeah, you might be right about that", which I translated to "okay buddy, whatever", but there he was on Sunday with his "retro" helmet.

Of course I'm not single-handidly taking credit for Moore's return to 2009 form on Sunday (unless you think I should in which case you should give me incredible amounts of rep) but I am going to follow-up with him when I visit practice again this week and say: "see, I told you it was the helmet".

P.S. This thread is 99.9% a joke.

I wouldn't make a "See I told you so" joke but something like "Glad to see the helmet switch worked for you" comment because I bet he'd laugh about it with you and maybe give you a shoutout in his next interview lol

Maybe when you go you can give some pointers about our RBs attire/equipment or maybe the linemen's equipment and they will have a huge game next week!

Going back to your post from earlier in the week...I guess the security guy was right, sometimes they practice bad and play well, other times they play bad and practice well.

On a somewhat similar note, everybody else laugh at Carr's Bobba Fett helmet as well?

i wonder how long it will be before they are throughout the league? it does look funny, but i kinda think its just cuz its something i'm not used to seeing.

Just watched the first five games on TV... 0-5

Went to the 49ers game in person... WIN!

So I'm pretty sure that victory was all due to me being there. All I need is someone to hook me up with tickets each week and you can go ahead and start making room for that Super Bowl trophy.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
