  1. Erickson took an illegal hit like a man and didn’t even fall down
  2. You do know the offense gets to come out multiple times in a game, right?
  3. Arthur smith challenging this based on the spot. Watch it be determined it wasn’t even a catch lol
  4. Wings, pizza, cheese sticks, and peppermint bark!
  5. Oh the irony of someone starting a thread on a Panthers message board about how they are done with the Panthers and will spend their Sunday doing something other than worrying about the Panthers. I will be watching the game and cheering on my team as usually while eating wings with the kiddos.
  6. I don’t feel like he has proven anything in college. He was the passing game coordinator for 1 season with a team who sent the starting QB, RB, and top 3 WRs to the NFL. That QB and 2 of the WRs are playing at all pro levels in the NFL. I feel like anybody could have destroyed defenses at the college level with those players, especially when 80% of the offense was simply tossing the ball 60 yards downfield to wide open players.
  7. Miami has not lost in a month and a half. Not like we lost to a bad team
  8. I did read that - and agree with some content. But the author contradicts himself. He claims in one regard that there are a ton of talented and smart players on the roster, then claims Tepper and Rhule haven’t done anything yet to solve the problems here they inherited. This team was in cap hell with very little talent in 2018. We have at least assembled a roster that shows promise. We have to fix the OL and QB positions. But not much more. 2 years ago we had to fix everything but RB.
  9. Haha sure Lets face it, last season we should have been a 1-3 win team. We had so little talent it was ridiculous. We overachieved by winning 5 games and almost winning another 7 more. Was it coaching? Maybe, I don’t know. Regardless, the fact that we overachieved while putting together a nice off-season set even higher expectations for the fan base for this year. Are we a better team this season? Yes. Do we still have holes? Yes. Bottom line - on paper we should have been a 3 win team last year. This year on paper we should be a 6-7 win team. Next year the real expectation is that we are a 10+ win team. Getting ahead of schedule last year with a putrid team made us fans want and expect even more this year. Fact is we are still 7 starters away (OT, OG, OG, C, QB, MLB, S) from being competitive week in and week out. Needing to still upgrade at 7 of 22 starting positions should make us a sub .500 team. Our expectation should have always been 6-7 wins this year…an improvement over year 1 where we somehow won 5 games with a roster needing over a dozen upgrades. This was always a three year process. We will end the year with a better record than we had last year. And we will end next year in even better shape than this year.
  10. Great move. Some Huddlers continue to think Tepper has done nothing for this franchise. He’s done a ton of stuff like this to improve the organization. The product on the field will come sooner rather than later
  11. I’ll say this - after watching film of Pickett-dude is a beast. Reminds me a lot of Joe Burrow
  12. I bet he wouldn’t have played Smitty because he’s too short to be a WR
  13. So should Sean Payton and Kliff Kingsbury be fired for allowing Rhule to out coach them?
  14. I agree. But I also think it’s hard to truly gauge his ability to prepare a team with no QB, the worst OL in football, and an inept OC. With the OC gone, time will tell if there is any improvement.
  15. Head coaches have a learning curve too. Especially ones new to the NFL.
  16. Nope. There’s no one to really take his place to close out the year. Snow is loyal to Rhule and wouldn’t do it. And there’s no one on the offensive side of the ball even remotely qualified.
  17. So what you’re saying is - a HOF QB isn’t that important so long as you can run the ball?
  18. I still think Rhule was a candidate for the OU job and waited until he was told he was no longer a candidate. He then made the move he knew he had to make in an attempt to right the ship here.
  19. Nixon worked under Andy Reid for 4 years on damn good football teams. Then worked with a solid RB group for years in Miami. Y’all act like we could go out and get someone off the street for a few weeks. I’ll take an Andy Reid understudy over a former Lions coach any day.
  20. 10 years of NFL experience isn’t bad.
