You're cheating yourself, dude... My tastes are ecIectic. I listen to it all from Drake to Andrea Bocelli to to Deep Forest to Satchmo to Dean Martin to Mystikal to Herb Alpert to Andreas Vollenweider to Morgan Wallen to Tangerine Dream to Peter Buffett... You only live once, my friend.

Now, you can...

But you still know who she is...

Not gonna lie. I love Prime on its own merits. TNF is just icing on the cake.

It's just bad that we haven't drafted a consistently impactful player since Hurney.

"Hey dipshit, you can’t model your way to success in football you fuging dork." I Hope Tepper sees this.

Well, as many fans as there are, as many outlooks as there will be. I realize that we all have to make our decosions. As for me, unless the franchise just doesn't exist, I guess that I'll be coping. In the meantime, I just can't come up with anything definitive until I at least see who the coach is and who the GM is, and who is acquired and who is jettisoned. 2024 is a new season. Admittedly, I would love to see some competition for Bryce (maybe a Spencer Rattler or Shedeur Sanders). But I'll still deal with it as it comes. If Bryce is as bad as people say, he'll only last until 2025 anyway. I'm here for it though.

I guess that I just listen and read different things than other people---admittedly my wife says that I'm truly fanatical about the NFL. People have discussed Collins breaking out for the last couple of seasons. He was never an unknown quantity to NFL types.

Just like @BrisbanePanther said: we're all coping. And we are. I don't care how you want to slice it. If you're a Panthers fan, you're coping. Going around telling others they're coping, is a form of coping. "Misery loves company" is like a coper's anthem. Like it makes some people feel better or something. Just let people handle prolific organizational failure however they like. No one here has ever been 100 percent right or wrong. No Huddler has all the answers. My thing is: things are going to play out regardless. And however they play out reveals the strengths and weaknesses of the team and franchise. I don't believe that there's only one way to tackle problems. I don't believe that just because someone has a difference of opinion about solutions makes them necessarily wrong or me necessarily right. More than one rationale can be correct depending upon plans to tackle problems. Patience can be a virtue and impatience a vice, depending upon the situation, and visa versa. All we can do is let things play out, plan the best that we can for possible outcomes, and have enough flexibility of thought to deal with those possibilities in a dynamic and hopefully productive manner. Now, we've invested in Bryce. He's likely getting another year whether we like it or not. If we're Panthers fans, ALL of us are going to have to cope with it and see the outcome. We're a terrible team right now, with a bunch of holes, without any clear direction. We're all going to have to cope with this reality as Panthers fans. At this point, most would say thag it's obvious that not only is Stroud a better QB than Bryce (and others), but the Texans are a better team and currently a better organization than what we as Panthers fans support. As Panthers fans, we're all going to have to cope with that reality. We're all coping.

They haven't gotten Waddle into the flow of the game. Zero to the right end. A bunch of screens on third and relatively long as opposed to pushing it down field. Sounds all too familiar for my liking.

Yep. Slow ass passes with insufficient velocity

If we hire Frank Smith as HC...

Tua out there looking like Young

Frank Smith? Nah.

Achane time.

@t96remember when you told me that Pacheco was JAG? I tried to tell you. Dude is a spark plug.

I really don't say too much anyway. Experience has taught me, especially as a Panthers fan, that you really don't know what's what until probably early October at the earliest in terms of which teams are for real. I had a strong hunch that Nico Collins was due for a breakout as this was year three. Robert Woods was that cagey vet, not without some talent. In my opinion Dalton Schultz was a great pickup because he was legit. And I loved the Tank Dell pickup. I'm not gonna lie, I thought that Metchie would flash more, and I didn't expect him to essentially lose his job to Dell. Of course the offense goes as the O-line goes, and Houston's wasn't nearly as bad as was prognosticated by analysts. That's why you can't put too much stock into all their B.S. before the regular season reveals the truth about teams.

I mean, people can say what they want. What I don't understand is why some of you are acting like they aren't a more talented team over all, particularly on offense. Both can be true: Stroud is better, but their other players are better as well. I scoff at the person that doesn't acknowledge that Nico Collins is an excellent receiver. Dude runs great routes and gets open. And Tank Dell is on IR. Their TEs are legitimately competitive. They're just the better team. Stroud and his delivery of the rock, as well as excellent coaching, just makes it work.

Dude, we knew this at least two months ago.

I know some that aren't necessarily perfect, but better. I watched the national championship on a perfect German stream though. I pull the streams on the phone and cast to the TV. Any regular interested, just PM me.

ALL the games used to be on network TV in the 70s and 80s. The NFL is simply greedy. Cable networks and streaming apps are effective paywalls. I am not adverse to a hole-in-the-wall though, if you know what I mean.

Give up that ghost.

Someone said that Texans didn't have any offensive weapons.

I think that the next hires may tell the story. If we wire a GM and HC that's worth a damn, we'll likely get back to competitive football. If not, we may just become the newest iteration of the Jets.
