Hey if you just jinxed us I'm going to have a hot air balloon made in the likeness of Alicejandra and I'm going to find out where you live, hover over your house, and drop leaflets in your lawn that contain Alice's best quotes on fashion advice, dieting tips, and advice on spending way too much on tie-dye Air Jordan's.

And this right here is why the Huddle is the best site to lurk on when stoned.

Wanted to give this thread a bump/update.

 

The Carolina Panthers have remained disciplined throughout the year.  At one point, we were the top 1-2 team in the league in fewest penalties and penalty yards.  Today, we rank 6th in both categories.

 

I thought that showed when on 4th down with our backs against the wall with SF at our 2 yard line with the opportunity to get a fresh set of downs at our 1.  Kaep came out with what I thought the intention to snap the ball and run a play.  Instead, he employed a hard count, which did not work.  CJ and Hardy, both antsy to get off the ball and into the backfield, were calm, cool, and collected.  It didn't work, and SF had to kick a field goal instead of getting 4 new downs with the certainty of scoring.  We won by 1.  Go Panthers!

Not a lot has been said this year about the discipline that has been shown on the field by this football team.

Last year we were middle of the pack. In 2011 we were at the bottom of the barrel. We bitched, whined, pointed fingers. But now, now that we haven't been giving up free yardage, just like the absence of penalties, there has been an absence of praising ol' Ron's improvement in this area.

Here's a link showing penalty stats for the last 6 years or so:

You can manipulate it any way you like, so I didn't want to put "least penalized team" outright, but we are definitely at the top of the NFL.

If we keep this up, the wins should start coming.

Cheers

 

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but we are 6-3 with a dominant defense headed into a home MNF game against the 7-2 Patriots, a top 5 team as far as least penalties go.  7-3, here we come!

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By frankw · Posted

      Oh please with the wallowing in victimhood I'm going to take my ball and go home routine. You were just in here referring to people as super weird haters because they don't completely agree with your borderline delusional spin on what Bryce Young is and isn't as a fourth year starter. We can hope by some miracle that Bryce Young will actually be able to lead a formidable passing offense this season without being irrational homers and pretending verfiable data and what we have seen with our own two eyes doesn't tell us exactly what he has been to this point which is someone who moves the ball at a historically low rate.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      I am curious who's behind all of this though. A video and photos from years ago surfacing? Someone has a vendetta and is driving this PR campaign. I'm loving it, but I'd also like to know who said mystery figure is.

      I say positive things about Bryce when he earns them. Which he has a handful of times. It is all here and on the record but your lobby won’t focus on that or the flat out truth inside of our critical comments.  It is a constant thing with him and his backers - one or two good things and people are trying to extrapolate that to proof we should commit to him, while ignoring or making excuses for the larger portion of his track record.  When he is able to consistently turn in franchise QB extension worthy outings the tone of the posts will reflect that.  I have already said that if he would play like he did in the WC as often as we need him to, I would be okay with keeping him.  See you don’t want to talk about that though because it shows actual fair minded evaluation not stanning.
