Dear Fairweather, Bandwagon, and Milquetoast fans at home and abroad,

 

38-0 Panthers going into a bye and several winnable games in front of us. The Panthers will be the talk of the town for the next week, and the sweet fragrance of a winning streak is beginning to mingle with the crisp fall breeze rustling through downtown Charlotte. Players are drawing it hungrily, lustily into their lungs as the shuffling malaise of mediocrity falls prey to the quickening pace of the 2013 Carolina Panthers.

 

You have not been missed, but we in Panther Nation are a forgiving bunch. Welcome back, we hope you'll stick around.

And that's exactly where they were- either at home or abroad.... because there was nobody in the stadium...lol.

 

While my spouse was at the game, I was here in my overstuffed leather chair watching 3 different NFL games, the Tour Championship, NASCAR and the America's Cup....

 

And I'm not sure if this is one of those games you can use as a measuring stick for Bandwagonism, given the fact NOBODY saw this coming. NOBODY.

Really? Why does everything have to be about Cam?

Says the guy that didn't pop up in the gameday thread until the minute Cam threw a pick that Lafell shared much of the blame on. Then proceeded to disappear for the rest of the game from the very same thread. It's obvious.

    • 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.
