I think Nortman's shank at the end is being overshadowed by the loss in general. Nortman punted the ball 6 yards.. which in turn gave the Bears excellent field position, where they were able to score a quick TD. That was the 2nd poor punt of the day for Nortman.

I looked up to see where Nortman ranked throughout the league. To my surprise, Nortman was ranked 30th in the league (before this game). I am sure he is ranked dead last after his 22 return avg agaist the bears.

Nortman being from Wisconsin, I thought he would be accustomed to kicking with high winds. I am not giving Nortman a pass just because it was soldier field. Looks like our punting issues have not been solved.

It was a planned directional punt call, you can tell by the way he tried to actually punt and the way his body was turned to the right. The wind caught the direction, carried it out of bounds. Not out of the norm. It was the playcall that put him in the situation.

Which, speaking of the play calling for the special teams... It was absolutely terrible. Short kicks, allowing your opponent to start at the 40? Really? Why not just kick it to Hester? Even if you don't get a touchback, he has to start in the endzone with the special teams baring down on him.

Not only did the short kicks give the Bears killer field position the entire game, but it put our offense in a hole every fuging drive. The scary part is they didn't even bother to make an adjustment after the Bears started putting running backs and receivers in to field kicks. What the fug is going on here?

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
