CRA

Sam’s floor is NY Sam. It’s what he is minus good coaching and being surrounded by good playmakers

Random bump into a player story…. I once bumped into Olindo Mare. One of the brief post Kasay kickers. I literally bumped into him. My wife and I were late and in a hurry to an important event speed walking to our car (keys in hand) and she was fussing at me about something dumb… and as I turned around to say something smart to her I ran smack into Mare. Bigger guy than you would think. I’m not exactly small and he sent me crashing down to the concrete. As I looked up Mare clearly felt bad as he noticed and commented that in the process of knocking me down to the concrete it caused my rolex watch to get scratched on it’s face. When I went to examine the damage it caused me to drop my bugatti keys down a sewer drain. What are the odds. Talk about having an even more pissed off wife. I told Mare not to worry about it. I should of been paying better attention to where I was walking. He helped me up and offered me a ride. Super nice of him. I declined. Told him I would just uber over to Micheal Jordan’s bday party. But I always liked Mare for offering me that ride. He totally didn’t have to do that.

Gamecocks could not win a single game for 4 consecutive seasons and those fools would still have that stadium packed jumping up and down to sandstorm. It’s kinda weird how supportive the collective fan base is. I mean the last time the Gamecocks actually won something was the 1969 ACC Championship….

as the years have gone by we have been blessed with the ability to buy larger and larger homes…. YET…my man space shrinks upon every move. I basically now have a bathroom I can lock myself in at this point to hide from the wife, kids, animals, and random people at my house.

I think they will be able to run on us. and I have never forgotten Fletcher Cox almost single handedly beating us after being a last minute activation that was hurt all week. I think we win. I don’t think we will feel great after it. But that’s also just how football is.

Shaq is a big loss. I still think our D is largely odd rush dominant. Run D could be a problem again this week.

One day my kids will grow up and I will tell them about the important mental health aspects of goofing off while at work…. imma tell them this is Zod

I was this front office was as good at addressing an OL as they are at other positions….given it is the most important overall aspect to winning in the NFL.

Gilmore would be a poor usage of cap. Looking into the next year. We need to spend on OL. And we probably shouldn’t of extended Robbie for that reason too. That could of gone to the OL too

DJ Moore did whatever he wanted to do. Sam’s first pick was just a dumb throw. Despite the announcers saying it was to Anderson I felt it was actually to Marshall. But that wasn’t so much a great defensive play but Darnold being bad. One of those trademark Charles Godfrey type INTs. You just happen to be where a bad ball was coming. 2nd INT was a good play on the ball. Credit there. But again, that wasn’t to DJ.

Jeremy Chinn seems to be in the early Thomas Davis window of his career. Too talented and causing a staff to put him where he doesn’t actually belong.

I never thought the Panthers, the D, the coaching staff, Sam were what was collectively painted after 3 weeks. I also don’t think any of those things are what was painted after the Dallas game. I think when we are done with the 3 game stretch vs the Cowboys, Eagles and Vikings we will have a good overall picture of our strength and weaknesses and exactly where we stack up.

Sam isn’t Aaron Rodgers. He isn’t going to be. That’s okay. Sam is good enough with our weapons. we need to build a respectable OL. And we still need to add talent at LB. MLB specifically. Shaq is playing great this year but we need more talent at the next level IMO

We played 2 bad teams with rookies making their first start and a hammered Saints team….. today we played a top tier NFL offense with essentially no holes on offense. so what are we? Something inbetween weeks 1-3 and today. Few teams are built like the Cowboys O. Good OL, Good QB, Good RBs, Good WRs.

they went throwback rock band heavy after Nipplegate. Stones, The Who. I don't seem doing that anymore. You got to switch generations at this stage in to who you are throwing back for. I mean, this Dr/Em is hitting smack at the 40 year old crowd. Which I think is about right. Hard to cater to the 60+ year old crowd anymore at the Super Bowl (and that is what throwback rock would be at this point). And there isn't really 40 year old rock throw back IMO to go. Eddie Vedder ain't a halftime show and basically everyone else is gone from that era. Chili Peppers already did it.

Pollard is the best back in Dallas.

I mean, there is no way that cast will suck in comparison to what they have been doing lately at halftime. Dre, Snoop, Em > The Weekend, Shakira, Katy Perry, Coldplay, Gaga

Cooks was actually pretty wide open, pretty often. Cooks wasn’t having a hard time. The QB was.

People were more hyped after Ron’s year 1 than Rhule’s year 1. Year one of Ron was an exciting time to be a Panther fan. He tripled the win total of the team he took over and we were building the franchise around the most exciting player ever drafted. Ron, Fox and Dom all had exciting starts. 3 years in…..they were all largely loved by the fanbase for what they were building here. All in the postseason by year 3. Honeymoon phase.

It isn't even 5 o'clock yet bro.

I don't know about you....but I can switch seats in my living room and impact what happens on the TV.

I think we are in the honeymoon phase with Matt Rhule. History with Carolina coaches says not to judge a HC off that. They have all seemed great minus Seifert in the honeymoon window. and we are early in the honeymoon window. So much is still unknown about year 2.

the Sunday night game, no matter when it would be played....would draw the most eyeballs this week. I think Carolina is tied for the 2nd best game of the weekend. Tied w/ Rams/Cards.

I mean, we just lost CMC...and we boast a horrible OL that can't open lanes for a standard RB nor likely has the ability to allow Sam much time to throw. Dallas should be favored. Basically equates to them being a 2 pt favorite on a neutral field. That seems fair enough.
