I'm just messin' with you. You can steal it if you want. I'm sure we can figure the appropriate royalties.

Alright now. You tryin' to steal my thunder? Last week I posted that we should either call them Snow Storm or Purrgatory.

For those concerned about this trade: "It's a risk to take him." No more of a risk than any 3rd round draft pick we would've gotten. "We needed the pick for O-line." If we go into next year's draft thinking "we've got to pick O-line," we're screwed before we start. We go into the draft seeking best available player. If it happens to fix a hole, awesome. But never reach just to fill a hole. Fill it thru FA. There's no question that getting a #9 overall pick for a 3rd round pick is BPA.

Sorry this ended up here instead of the Panthers forum. I just realized it's in the wrong place but It won't let me put it in the right forum. Maybe I have to have more posts before I can start a thread there? Or did I do something wrong?

It seems that every time we've played the Cowboys, something outstanding has occurred. Some good, some bad, and some just wow memories. What big memory comes to mind when you think of those games? I'll tell one of mine: https://www.espn.com/nfl/recap/_/gameId/251224029 You thought the refs were bad Thursday. Must be a Texas thing. In December, 2005 you may recall our best player Steve Smith suddenly getting ejected from the game for what looked like nothing. But worse than that was the horrible ending to the game. Dallas was kicking a FG to send it in to overtime. We blocked the kick and won the game! Except the refs didn't like that outcome. Read the article for details . . . if you dare.

I'm not gonna get hopes up yet because I can easily picture them being asked "Are you thinking of putting him on IR?" and them saying "No," but meaning they aren't considering that until they get all the facts. IR "is not the plan as of now." I think I'll still hope for about a 3-4 week rest for him and a full recovery in that time.

. . . making Smoot one of my favorite words.

I'm just going by the scrimmage line they put on TV, but it sure looked like the Texans were just as far in on an awful lot of snaps. I'm not generally into ref conspiracy theories but I did wonder if maybe the Texans had told the refs to watch for it.

You're the Jets' GM?

And there's also the fact that all of us want to talk football because our team won and is undefeated, but we're all in this weird bad mood because of the injuries. Nice recipe for a lot of good fighting today.

We had CMC long enough to get our feet under ourselves. I'm torn but kinda hoping he rests and heals for a few games even if it's minor. We've always known we've got to be able to pull out a few wins without him. I'd rather try that out with the teams we face now rather than the ones we face at the end of the year.

Cool! So we give Rhule a 1-year hiatus. Bring in Gase for just that year. Then we win the Super Bowl when Rhule returns from walkabout!

It's too early to do this and there's a ton of "yeah, but . . ."s. But screw it! After 2 games, the '85 Bears D had allowed . . . 35 points. We've allowed 21. 27 1st downs. Us: 22 513 total yards. Us: 380 320 pass yards. Us: 287 193 rush yards. Us: 93 They had 8 sacks. We've had 10. To be continued . . .

So, is this D gonna be called "Purrgatory" or "The Snow Storm"? (I know. I KNOW! It's only two games.)

Or allow a point in a first half.

Cool! I didn't realize Moore had honored Burns with the Spiderman move after his TD. Also, loved the fan sign!

To me, that game and Chinn's back-to-back fumble recovery TDs game are two of our most memorable losses. It's so frustrating to see those incredible individual performances and know that those players always have to add the "but we still lost" to the memory. Regarding Henry: "Would've been a great story if we'd won the game."

New goal: 17 regular season games where the opposing fans calm themselves by saying "At least our punter had a good day." 1. Check 2. Check 3.

Did you put this gif here to show what she would look like with died hair?

Yeah, backup QB generally means less quality, but also less (if any) film to study and a lot of "Cajun Jake" type excitement on his part. I'm optimistic and glad we get a backup, but between that and the flukiness of Thursday night football, I'm not ready to count any chickens just yet.
