Yeah, one of the times my Mother and I would go to Indianapolis for Christmas and coming back driving through Lexington Ky it was snowing and the roads were worse than in the vid. A Semi passed us and basically made us hydroplane, slid around and down into the median. We were lucky as hell I still get chills when I think about it.

That is so sad. So freaking sad. That reminds me of this one incident, well more like accident. It was around 01-02 when I lived in Raleigh. This guy and girl were on a motorcycle and I can't recall what happened that the girl just fell off the bike, I had two cars ahead of me and the car right behind of the motorcycle hit what seems to be the girls cranium. I caught a glimpse of it and I'm sure the girl didn't survive. Looked very fuged up. There's no way that woman survived, the dude just kept driving and left her there..

There was another accident this time involving a state trooper on a bike, it happened in Raleigh, the dude was chasing someone and he was going way too fast. I saw him fly by me as I was pulling over. The road was turning and he was going too fast he smeared himself on the wall. I caught part of that too and it was gory man,

Holy crap!!!! I still hate driving in weather, because of my wreck last year. I was on the way back from Buffalo, NY and was driving in PA on one of the highway's. It was raining, not that bad, I was still going 5 under the speed limit though as I was in my new car.

My back tire popped and caused my car to hydroplane 3 times, the first two times were light and didn't last very long, the last one took my car off the road and then back across the highway into an embankment that flipped my car twice. All of it happened in like 5 seconds, it was insane.

Bent the frame and tore the car all to hell on the driver side, front fender, hood and roof of the car.

"Odd thing was the passenger side was barely touched, didn't even really have any scratches on it. Both times it flipped it landed on my side."

I still freak out when I'm driving in the rain or snow and that was last February.

Those clips remind me of all of the reasons I had to quit a job I loved because it had 2 hours a day on 40/85 between G'boro and RTP.

Drove it every day for 1.5 years and saw 12-15 people die and those were just the ones where I saw the impact.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
