They just posted the Panthers 32 teams in 32 days video and Faulk doesn't think Carolina is the team to beat in the NFC South...

Yet a few weeks ago he picked them to win the division...

Hmm, nothing much changed in between these two videos save Peppers signing his tender. A little contradiction eh?

^^^^^^^^^^^

good catch!

Hah thanks. I've been waiting to see where the Panthers fell in the 32 days thing they're running and when Faulk commented saying that they weren't the team to beat I was a little confused. It's obvious they just try and pick opposing sides to an argument and this time around Faulk took the bad cop role.

it's what other teams in our division are doing. As usual, just because the Saints make some big moves that seem to be in the right direction, they get the nod.

Yea, I think it's fairly narrow-minded to think that the only way to improve your team in the offseason is to sign big name free agents and draft highly touted rookies but I'd like to argue against Faulk's reasoning that we aren't going to be the team to beat in the NFC south because "this is a quaterback driven league" and the Saints and Falcons have solid QB's. I'm certain that Carolina, Atlanta and New Orleans had the same quaterbacks last year as they will have this coming year, barring injuries, and yet the Panthers were crowned NFC south champs last season. Somehow, this season, that will make a difference?

Truth is that almost always the favorites in the division never win. Don't know why but it happens. I am glad the media is on the Saints and Birds nuts. I just love the disrespect card. Always works for us. Our players will definitely have a chip on their shoulder.

But, you know, they didn't really do much more than what they have done since Payton has been there. Hasn't worked real well either.

And the world will just have to wait to see if Matt Ryan and Mike Smith have sophomore slumps. It's usually because the other teams have figured you out, no surprises.

And no one knows about Tampa Bay. I'm not sure they even know themselves.

The Panthers broke one myth last year. The team that was last the year before was not first the next year. Almost, but being close only counts in horseshoes. We can break another one this year. Hopefully, 2 winning seasons in a row.

And no one knows what will happen with Jake's elbow this year. Will it be better than last year like the pitchers that had the surgery being better in their 2nd year? Or will it tank?

There are alot of questions this year, even after Peppers signed, even with 21 of 22 starters coming back. I can't wait! :cheers2:

"this is a quaterback driven league"

This is something a bunch of them say and it drives me nuts. Maybe they think if they repeat it enough it will be true. PUBLICITY wise in the media and for FANTASY FOOTBALL it's true. In reality, you don't need some superstar and/or first rounder who puts up a bunch of pretty numbers. Not at all.

I would say that to if Delhomme was my QB! If you repeat this enough it might be true too!:frown2:

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
