Panthers = Pretenders

This guy is just about motivation for the Bucs & Panthers. His team will be sitting home.

Tampa Bay Bucs

Record: 9-3

Wouldn’t be something to see the Bucs at home for the Super Bowl? Won’t happen. Defensively, they’re a wet blanket, allowing an NFC best 16.7 points per game. But every time they leave Florida to play a decent team, they lose. They also lost at New Orleans, at Denver and at Dallas to a Brad Johnson-quarterbacked team. They cannot, and will not, catch lightning in a bottle and beat the Giants on the road in the NFC Championship. If they can win at Carolina and Tampa in the next two weeks, I’ll change my tune. Until then? Frauds.

Verdict: Pretenders

The Cowboys are facing all kinds of elimination over the next few weeks, but the mainstream media would love for them to go on a miracle run and win the Super Bowl. That way their attempts to pump up Romo and make it look like he's not the pretty boy choke artist that he is would be somewhat justified.

Sadly, I guarantee you that the NFL feels the same way. They don't want to see the Panthers anywhere near the Super Bowl, if they can have Dallas instead.

Hell, a Cowboys vs Steelers Super Bowl would be a wet dream come true for ESPN and the NFL.

That game was played at home?

That guy is a f*cking idiot.

Hopefully the Cowgirls get voted to be the biggest NFC pretender

This gave me an Idea. Start having the Pretenderbowl. Chargers v Cowboys.

NBC too, they would finally have people watching their preshow.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
