Be very careful...

I'm almost 2 hours late, but I felt it necessary to say this.


Be very careful from now until the game. Whatever you have done these past few weeks, keep doing it. Don't stray from your rituals. Don't put on that new Kuechly jersey you got if you've been wearing a different one this season. Don't watch the game on the couch when you damn well know you've been in the recliner all season.


And since we're here, what are some of your rituals for game day? What do you do to give us mojo?


Me personally, it changes each season it seems. This season, I've been wearing the same Panthers t-shirt and pair of jeans. I eat lunch precisely 30 minutes before kickoff (will be dinner tonight) and I put a dip in seconds before kickoff. That dip stays in the whole first half. I add on one time (the commercial break between the 1st and 2nd quarter). I take it out right at halftime, drink something, and put another dip in before the second half starts. My rules for the first half are the same for the 2nd.


All of these seem very minor, but the games I didn't wear the shirt, we've lost. The times I haven't had a dip in, we've struggled (and, on the other side, once one goes in, we're good to go). This one was reinforced for me when we played the 9ers. So, I'm sticking with it. I'm willing to get cancer if it means a Super Bowl run.

I have obsessive compulsive disorder so it's pretty normal for me. During the pre-game I run around the couch 8-12 times depending on how iffy the game is. As always I have to flip the remote around until I find a winning side. I remember the last time I didn't find a winning side like it was 57 days, 4 hours and 13 minutes ago. Once we score I flip the light switch on and off for the exact amount of points we have. But, everyone does that right?

 

 

ARE THE CHIPS IN FUCING ORDER?

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
