A funny thing happened on the way to the comments section of the Panthers vs. Falcons preview today

So I rolled out of bed around noon because it's Saturday, meandered downstairs, pet the cat, threw a plate of leftover london broil and garlic mashed potatoes in the microwave, mixed up some Lipton lemon iced tea, and kicked back to check on Panthers news. Same stuff on the Huddle really, SCP making funny jokes about Fua and Nakamura, another Bill Cowher thread, Stirs blindly calling people/inanimate objects "libs" in the Tinderbox. Par for the course.

Then I bounce on over to NFL.com. Turns out Javon Belcher was caught asleep at the wheel of his Bentley the night before his murder/suicide. Weird huh? I thought so. Anyway I clicked on an article about Wes Welker on the verge of catching 100 balls on the season for the fifth time in his career. Amazing what a general manager recognizing the value of the slot receiver can do for you. Hopefully we'll get someone like that. Anyway that's not what this is about. I clicked on the "Panthers versus Falcons" matchup at the top of the screen. Falcons predicted to win of course.

On a whim I scroll down to the bottom of the page and start reading the comments from comatose Falcons fans typing with their elbows about how the Panth-

wait what? what's that?

I'll refrain from a personal insult, but isn't that the guy who used to post borderline CP on here?

He's never not posted here. He's always had a user name. Before Slenderman it was Super_freak or whatever. He's had about a blue million user names.

    • So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...
    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
