Goodbye Huddle, I'm Disappointed In You


Recommended Posts

Charlotte, a city full of out-of-towners supporting the god damn Patriots, Steelers, and severely lacking in homegrown die hard fans, makes for a thin fan base. I remember the first day I found the Huddle. I thought AWESOME! Finally, a place I could go where people truly loved the Carolina Panthers.

Well, I've tired of what people on here consider a good fan. Everyone acts like the next damn

John Clayton as if the most insightful analysis of the linebacker situation shows how much you care. Or who can get the latest news fastest while carefully avoiding being number 2 cause then you are just a piece of dick. Or stupid sh*t like b*tch about how "mean" fans are in Atlanta and Philly. Waa waa.

To be fair, people can post some good sh*t sometimes. It's easily the best place to get information on the Panthers especially in Africa where getting on NFL.com is like trying to suck molasses through a coffee straw. Where I lose it is when comments are graded on how well they can remove any emotion and love for our team. When someone puts up a post asking to show some love for Steve Smith, the best player in the NFL, and the first 8 posts are about how hes not even the best WR in the NFC, NFC South, ok maybe the Panthers, there is something wrong with this place. You just can't take it, it bothers you because, hey, Steve Smith isn't really the best WR. So that's what you focus on instead of what a mutherf*cking badass he is and clearly the best player in the NFL. Some of you talk about being a fan like raising a child by pointing out its flaws so it can grow from its mistakes. The Panthers are the best team in the NFL because they are the Panthers and nobody else. Sorry if I didn't back that up with links.

Enjoy competing over fake pie with your amateur thoughts on Pickles' future. Meanwhile, I'm getting on youtube to see some Morgan highlights. Dude was a beast. Don't want to forget it.

P.S. Some of you guys find the hottest avatars and banners. I will never forget you.

    • Wow!  You've done your homework.  Very good, my old guitar picking friend.
    • Consider it from the lens that the NFL is an entertainment product, whose goal is to keep users engaged for a long as possible. Also take into account sports betting spreads for a reason managing games towards desired outcomes. Blowout results are not good for user engagement or for any of the NFL's partners. The league appears to "nudge" games, not necessarily to decide a winner, but to maximize engagement, revenue, and narrative intrigue. The primary lever the NFL uses to "nudge" games towards a desired outcome is crew assignment. A "rigged" game doesn't require a backroom bribe, it simply requires assigning a referee crew whose known statistical biases align with the league's desired outcome. By analyzing data from the 2023-2025 seasons, we can categorize specific officials into "profiles" that sophisticated bettors, and likely the league itself, use to predict game flow. When the league needs a game to be an exciting shootout, they can assign crews that historically "swallow the whistle," allowing offenses to operate without rhythm-killing flags. Conversely, if the league needs to slow down a runaway offense or keep a game close to the spread, they can assign "flag-happy" crews that disrupt game flow. Certain referees show a statistical deviation that heavily favors the home team, often attributed to being influenced by crowd noise, or perhaps a tendency to support the "house" advantage. Lastly, the league might want to introduce chaos into a matchup that looks like a guaranteed blowout on paper. The league would assign a referee with high-variance penalties. A high volume of highly varied penalties is ideal for "trap games" where referees have an outsized impact on the result.
