WTF? Wife drug me up there last weekend. I don't get the fascination with the place. It's all crappy press board furniture and swedish meatballs.

I'm with ya. Most of my gfs love it. I don't get it. Most of it looks cheap as hell.

The meatballs are tasty and some of the organization stuff and kid stuff is alright.

That's why we went. We bought an organizational thing for my sons room and a bag of meatballs.

All 4 wheels on their carts rotate which also pissed me off a bit. I'm used to the traditional shopping cart. I kept running into Swede's and furniture displays.

We have bought some of this line:

http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/30051615

relatively cheap, goes with our stuff and the covers are relatively easy to clean as the kids inevitably spill something on them.

I would like really nice stuff but this stuff is like a placeholder...

You should go to Hickory. I got this Basset couch for $799.

and a Broyhill chair for $150, cant' find a pic of it. On my latest trip they had this chair for $189 I didn't buy it though. http://www.broyhillfurniture.com/Furniture/Living-Room-Furniture/Chadwicks/i102254-Broyhill-Chadwicks-Chair.aspx

It's name brand furniture but discounted.

It's cheap, good quality stuff. I've bought a good bit of small random stuff from there and have been very happy with all of it(coffee table, bookself, etc). The fascination with that place is odd though. I looked at a house last year that had a kitchen that looked like it was straight out of an Ikea catalog.

Oh, and most of the stuff isn't MDF, from what I can tell it's pine or poplar. Sure, it's not honduran mahogany, but it's better than the crap you buy at Target.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
