three grand? ye gods man you could drive a hummer up, stay in 5-star hotels, and buy club seats for under 3 grand

3 nights at a nice hotel in downtown Minneapolis. Good seats behind carolina bench off stubhub. 3 nights at the bar and partying add up pretty quickly man. The crappy Wild play the Saturday night, so we'd do that game as well.

The Jets play the Wild on the Thursday night that we've talked about doing as well.

I'm suppose to drive down to Minneapolis (8 hours) for the game in a few weeks. None of my friends are panthers fans so I'm paying for hotel and tickets since its hard to convince anyone to go see the panthers. After yesterday I'm about 50/50 on cancelling the trip. Trip will cost me roughly 3 grand and I know I'm just going to be driving home pissed off.

 

The Panthers suck, Minneapolis sucks, and your friends suck for making you pay for that poo.

 

Don't do it. Just save your money.

LoL! yeah if they are 0-4 going into that game ill bail and just go with my girlfriend. Although it'll be cheaper, the strip club just isn't the same when your with your girlfriend.

Buddy is a pats fan and he paid for my trip to Boston for a MNF game a couple years ago so I owe him a trip. But yeah...

This makes me so angry.

I feel betrayed. When Rivera was hired he preached about being aggressive on both sides of the ball and he preached about making decisions based off of the personnel available as opposed to strictly adhering to a system.

 

I've grown comfortably numb already. :/

from grantland....screw espn and nfl and SI....grantland/bill barnwell is what you should be reading.

 

excerpt:

rivera, at the end of games, puts this team in a situation that is a proven losing strategy...at least here it is. he sets them up to lose. to fail.

 

and then he blames execution.

 

yah.

 

 

 

 

 

we where # 12  1st down conversion with total of 328

 

we made 43.1 % of our 3rd down attempts which is top 6

If he went for it on 4th and 1 he should be fired. He kicked on 4th and 1. He should be fired. It's not about these individual decisions, it's about a collection of talent that a certain Denver head coach whose name rhymes with Sean Box would have had in the playoffs easily. It's about an owner that screwed over the team to send a message to the union, fired coach "Box", passed over the higher ranked free agent coaches to sign the cheap one, then held on to the guy who engineered last years disaster, now with an extra crappy OC who's basically despised by the fanbases of every team he's ever been associated with. But yeah, we should go for it on 4th and 1, as Romer (2005) showed. But that's not the main problem.

No

 

Just simply no.

 

If we had went for it and failed no one would care, because Rivera would have finally shown some balls.

 

Also like the stats and common sense state....they would have likely tied the game rather than won it....so we would have had OT.

 

Yea, that guy couldnt be more wrong. I would NEVER be mad at Rivera for playing for the win at this juncture, not in that spot.... it wasn't like it was our own 21. There's nothign wrong with making aggressive mistakes... its just what this team needs.

 

Why can't no nuts ron see that. "Boys, get us one yard and we go home winners. I believe in you."

 

And thats what you tell people if it doesn't work out "I believed in my guys" say to the press. No one will fault that.

 

He's just such a sackless loser, has Rivera ever heard of testes?

yah.

This can't be correct. I was under the impression, that it was Cam's fault! He can't win, when the game is on the line. *Great post*

I agree with you 100%, but I will say, also remember that on the flip side, he'll say "Our defense played well, and I believed in our defense to make the stop".  It's completely a moronic statement considering we haven't had a 2 minute stop on defense when up by less than a TD in years, but that is his line of thinking, no matter how insanely stupid it is.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
    • I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?
