probably. But the Hard Knocks episode when it eventually comes out might give a little insight to how the Jets thought it all went against the Panthers. From practice to the game.

be interesting to see if we get a little NY perspective after the game via the Hard Knocks episode too.

What the league essentially did with Cam Newton at his height......isn't equivalent to Matt Rhule football lol. again, if you aren't interested in the board talking about clearly labeled topics? Don't click on them. Interneting doesn't have to be that hard.

lol. Just take your L on how wrong you were about Matt Rhule and move on. Quit bringing it back up. Like all the Matt Rhule sucks threads, don't enter if you don't want to hear a comment on the subject. and no, the Super Bowl game where we got hosed on that many bad and impactful calls isn't the "ball bouncing the wrong way". The ball does sometimes bounce your way or against you though. The league/officials put their hands clearly on the scales when it came to Payton's exist from the NFL and Cam attempting to take the reins.

Well, Von sort of is ending that totally out coached narrative. The refs mattered way more. Luck mattered more. Again, that Denver O was utter trash. If the game is just averagely called.....we win. Denver wasn't even the second best team in the NFL. We went 17-1 going into that game. There was no blueprint Atl showed. Which is why we smashed people after that.

think there was to a degree a Shaq factor with Cam. Refs essentially deemed Cam's size an advantage and therefore were going to apply the rules uniquely to him. Personality only reenforced that bias.

well, technically, the next game was the most disgusting display of officiating I have ever seen. Think the NFL was out to attempt to clean up the look of the Super Bowl by giving Denver another W to followup that ring. If I was a millionaire dollar QB I would have retired after that opening game vs Denver. Because it cements that outside factors can and do have too big of an impact on the results. Games can definitely be influenced. And I'd have f you money and wouldn't be risking my body like that anymore.

Don't think it matters. They weren't stopping Carolina without a poo ton of luck. And the one man show with the horseshoe essentially confirmed that. Denver O was a dumpster fire. Carolina could of won just punting and playing field position. Wade Phillips doesn't change that.

and I frankly wish Von didn't confirm what we always knew. Play that game 10 times. Panthers winning 9 or 8 times. Sometimes it's better to be lucky. But the self-awareness by Von is sort of unique and a cool perspective you don't always see.

yep. Refs made the ultimate difference. Those big Bronco plays were all aided by overlooking penalties. Almost every game changing play the Broncos had included a hit to the head or illegal bat of the ball. And they won the game off those select plays.

I'm not unhappy lol. I mean, they broadcast it. It's just a comment on it. It doesn't work as a broadcast since they probably aren't allowed by the coach to show anything. So it's just long wait periods in-between weak interviews vs what they can put out there. Which those are fine. It's just a comment on the format and how it was done. If the intent is to stir up the fanbase and it turns off even the hardcore that will almost digest anything.... I would imagine the TV station had bad numbers. That's it.

I turned it on for about 5 minutes. It was pointless to televise that. Just put the interviews online. A zoomed in view of the QB and then the announcers having to tell you everything that happened off screen is just dumb.

correcting this post. I looked on there earlier this week and there was a ton of cheap stuff. Looks like everything is gone but a couple of way overpriced tickets. Almost everything is gone. @Ricky Prickles

stubhub has some. Of course they are marked up though from original price. Some lower bowl stuff is still pretty cheap. Just forget they were once 5 bucks.

Home, prime time vs Saints Away, prime time TNF vs the Bears. Non-prime time, Houston. CJ vs Young.

I repeat, LaFell gave us Oh Wee Mayne. The value of that outweighs whatever that lazy fatty WR named Kelvin did. Same lazy WR that forced Cam to chase down that DB. The shoulder that essentially ended Cam's career. I'll die on this hill.

I mean, LaFell did bring us Oh Wee Mayne. Which pretty much makes him second only to DJ Moore in terms of the greatest WR post 89 to date.

Blackshear first to the field today. Alternate Clickbait Headline: Miles Sanders slower than usual on first day of padded practice.

Cam also came out of heavy read option college scheme. It makes sense for Young to be way ahead of Cam there. Contact was part of Cam's game. Not so much for Bryce.

yeah, some years it really works to our advantage. Not so much this year. But it's great to get some northern team to come to BOA early in the year. would have been great to open up at home vs Chicago or GB for example.

yeah, I'm talking about that G spot w/ Cade. How he holds up vs Brown and company for Bryce. Pads take it up a big notch. Good to see it either way.

don't know about that. Who we got playing G right now? probably down to 3rd stringers starting right? Think we got some injuries there.

Bryce Young's expectations are super high. So while he might be the best rookie, it likely would be hard for him to exceed expectations. I'll go Mingo in the 2nd half of the season shines in the slot playing some small ball.

Think pads will make a big difference in the time clock Young has to work with. I know they can't touch him regardless but it still changes things.

yeah, back to practice. Pads make a big difference. Look forward to overreacting to today's reports.
