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?

      What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Icege · Posted

      Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
