Still disrespected...

Not surprising, and I'm not crying about it...

I'm watching the Steelers and Eagles game. The announcers are Troy Aikman, Joe Buck, and Terry Bradshaw... The game is in garbage time in the 4th qtr. The question was asked about which teams would surprise some people this year. Troy Aikman picked St Louis, Terry picked the Lions, and Jow Buck picked the Bucs....

Then the conversation shifted to what a competitive division the NFC South is... They all mentioned The Saints, Falcons, and Bucs... NO FUGGIN mention of the Panthers whatsoever. Not even a respectable (the Panthers are re-building) type mention. Just as if we are not a part of the division whatsoever.

I get it... We were 2-14 last year. We have not one, not two, but three unproven/unreliable QB's... We re signed our own players...

But DAMN... They act like we aren't even in the Division. We as fans are NOT used to be treated like this. (maybe earlier, but not now, and certainly never this disrespected)

I hope that our players are taking notes. I know that Rivera will have our boys ready every week. I know that we will be a competitive football team. I know we do better flying under the radar. All of those commentators I love listening to. I was more than pissed off that we didn't even get mentioned.

To any players that may be lurking. Tell your boys that a little punch in the division foes' mouths is in order. The disrespect is getting out of hand. I mean we're getting treated worse than the Lions got treated when they barely won 2 games for like a decade...

It's time to get our swag back... That's the bottom line.

Why would they. It's not like bad teams rebound after a bad year. They aren't being disrespectful.

Show me a team in recent history who had good season with first year head coaches? Wait, what? Atlanta in 2008, fins in 2008, Ravens since 08, Jets since 09. Umm ok.

Well show me a team that had success with a rookie Qb? Oh Atlanta again, the Jets again, Baltimore, Saint Louis?

Seriously though analyst thinking we will have a bad season isn't a problem. When you're 2-14 that happens. But when people do segments about your division and never mention you, i think that is disrespectful.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      This was a terrible call.  He wasn't downfield.  The refs are just getting worse and worse.

      If they lose the last three......

      Wins are wins, Packers and Rams are quality wins against really tough teams to play. Any road game win is also a decent win, as games are just harder to control and predict on the road.  If the Panthers lose tomorrow they are 98% eliminated. I'd say even if we finish 8-9 it was a disappointing season given how close we were to a playoff berth but just fumbled it with unprepared, bad play...despite how flawed the roster is.  I wouldn't extend Bryce if we miss the playoffs and make him prove it in a contract year, while also finding a decent backup next offseason. Probably not going to be in a position to reach for a QB in the first round, and we sorely need defensive help in a loaded defensive draft

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      David Njoku (29), Dallas Goedert (30), Kyle Pitts (25), Foster Moreau (28) will all be free agents in 2026. There are a lot more of course (Spotrac list) but i didn't include anyone over 30.  We can't afford to use an early pick with all the holes we have.  I think our first three picks need to address edge, linebacker and oline so we shouldn't be drafting a TE until fourth or later and that will just get us another mediocre tight end. We don't need another one of those.
