The NFL Shield At Midfield

That's such a Panthers thing to happen though. The exact same number of wins as last year except one more loss because there's an extra game.

If this movie and Goodfellas were the only two I could watch for the rest of my life I think I might be able to deal.

Bengals are AFC North champions

I thought he had a groin injury or something

We would have collapsed and corroded to the same state if JR was still here. He did have 1-15 and 2-14 seasons as the owner of this team.

I'm going off topic here but I saw Tim and Eric on one of their tours when they did Amos' South End probably 10+ years ago. One of the most fuged up yet hilarious things I've ever seen in person.

When I heard that Jay Z stuff I legitimately thought it was a joke. I didn't think it was real. Matt Rhule is like if Tim and Eric came up with an NFL coach.

That was a loaded roster with an erratic QB who couldn't stop turning the ball over.

Why even bother moving the game to 4 today, nobody outside of the Carolinas or LA is going to see it: e: lol we sure got the Fox D team calling this one didn't we

I have zero faith that Alvin Kamara won't fug us sideways today. As such I think the Saints get the W.

This might be as epic a QB battle as the Todd Collins - Jimmy Clausen showdown from 2010 where they passed for a combined 93 yards and 5 INTs

Who the hell is even starting at QB for the Saints today?

Slightly ot but he's absolutely playing his ass off. If we can get anything like that then sign me up. Thanks to him Cincinnati might get their first playoff win since Super Mario Bros 3 was a hot new video game.

Cameron Jordan runs to the Panthers bench in the first quarter and just starts punching Cam in the face. Panthers are penalized for an unsportsmanlike and the Charlotte Observer calls out Newton for his lack of leadership and immaturity. Cam says he has to handle getting assaulted better and it's not about him in the postgame presser. Early in the third quarter the Saints run out of QBs and call Alejandro Lastra down from the luxury box to kneel out the last 30 minutes of the game. Saints win 40-6 while Robby Anderson practices first down points on the sidelines.

Reminds me of Bill Dauterive getting his rushing TD record back at Arlen High e: lol that kind of came across harsh. This was a cool story when it happened.

Reminds me of the good old days in 2010 where I'd have people yelling poo at me out of their car if I was seen wearing a Panthers hoodie on the sidewalk

lol damn you tell em Anyway time to put on my Let's Go Brandon hat and buy some more Black Rifle Coffee

This is a cool little tidbit that I think people either forget about or weren't aware of considering the NFL's current status as a behemoth towering over all other American sports. Pro football was a curiosity and something of an experiment for the first few decades it was a thing. Teams folded and merged all the time, the league would barnstorm across the country playing exhibition games for exposure, and that kind of thing.

Just saw that. RIP to a legend.

People go on Reddit and make random predictions for clout all the time. A few years back some guy showed up on the Seahawks subreddit and said he had inside sources that they were going to trade for some guy. Lo and behold they did and that board hung on that poster's every word for a few weeks. Later it turned out he was a troll who had just made a lucky guess and was just fuging with them.

It's a fun hypothetical to entertain and all that but any pro OL would just blow a college DL 10 yards off the line of scrimmage and be able to run at will. Even the dudes on our crap starting line have been in the league for a few years, gotten pro coaching, gone through NFL strength and training programs, etc. It's not a fair fight. Alabama had 10 guys selected in last year's NFL draft, and that's a crazy number just by itself. 10 players from one team vs. 48 NFL players on an active gameday roster.

Fox and Rivera were both Californians. So the lesson is we need to hire a west coast head coach next, I guess.

Okay that Steelers game is going to be ugly. First of all they're going to pack the stadium with those dumbass towels. Second every time we play them they just beat the dog poo out of us. I don't see why it would be any different with Matt Rhule here.

They turn to mush after a drop of milk. They're in a neck and neck race with Grape Nuts for the worst breakfast cereal.
