If you bet before the season started that the SB would be the Seahawks vs. Pats you're an absolute geniu... fuging LIAR! LOL

Probably one of the most unexpected SB matchups (compared to what was assumed at the start of a season) in forever.

Drake has a bright future, but this was way too much for him tonight.

6 sacks are hard to overcome, then add in the turnovers. I think he has a solid career ahead of him.

In another timeline, Wilks and Darnold are raising that trophy in black and blue 

Big defense big running game. All those draft picks we didn’t spend on junior to build a team from? 
Yeah that can’t be us. Not enough misery involved.

Yeah, literally nobody would've predicted that the Chiefs and Ravens would miss the playoffs and that the Pats and Seahawks would play in the SB. You could've bet a $20 bill on that parlay and retired on it.

I think we had a reasonable expectation that Seattle could be on the short list. 
The Pats? You would have been laughed at.

Why would there be any chance to acquire him? Before he is old and not good any more…

they will not cut bait on him any time soon. 

The only way is if Drake just doesn’t want to be on the Patriots long term. He’s a Charlotte kid, he married his middle school sweetheart. If the Panthers were ever a real opportunity for him I have to assume he’d also want to make that happen. Would take another 3 years minimum.

It wasn't the coverage, it was the pass rush scheme. Zone defense behind a dominant pass rush has always been a recipe for great D. That was what the original Seattle Legion of Boom was built around. The overloaded the left side of the Pats OL all night long knowing those rookies wouldn't be able to handle it. And just like Shula in SB50, McDaniels refused to adjust to it. Just like Shula, he just stuck his head in the sand and pretended that somehow it would just magically start working out at some point.

honestly, seattle did adapt on offense with walker for bits. and Sam made some of the throws. look he was pressured a bunch and missed some he would love to have back, but he didn't put them in turnover city. even without the best WR in the game today for stretches. 

pats refused to go with their own home run guy in henderson in the playoffs and it bit them. he was their top big play guy for a ton of games.

Surely there's no way the Pats don't invest big in the OL this offseason. They also gotta figure out if Campbell is the answer at LT. He got treated like a doormat by every team in the playoffs. If he wasn't dealing with some injury they were keeping quiet or something along those lines you really have to question if he's an NFL LT. Not saying he can't be a starter somewhere on the OL but you gotta question of LT is the right spot for him.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
