Two experts pick against the Panthers

Normally, the Huddle would revel in the Panthers being seen as an underdog, making claims of how the team seems to do better when flying under the radar and what have you. But, going into the game on Sunday against a winless Saints team who seem to have players dropping left and right to injury (including their beloved quarterback and maybe a star receiver), Panthers fans the world over seem to have cast off their superstitions over being too boastful and are calling for a full scale bloodbath at the miserable New Orleans squad's expense. For my part, I have no doubt that one of the multiple embarrassments due to the Saints since they decided to use us to pad their record book many moons ago will be played out at B of A this weekend. And I'll be laughing all the live long day as it happens.

However, there are two people out there poised to appear as geniuses should the Panthers manage to beat themselves and allow the Saints to walk out of Charlotte with a win. The Panthers official website rounds up a collection of "expert" picks for the winners of each Panthers game from around the interwebs. I like going through them all, if for no reason other than hopefully the collective websites notice a small uptick in traffic when their story involves my favorite team. In going through this weeks collection of picks, it seemed as if every single person who's opinion was published was picking the Panthers to win, by anywhere from a 6 to 20 point margin. All but two. Let us now highlight these brave individuals, willing to stick their necks out because apparently the Saints were supposed to be good, the Panthers were supposed to be bad, and there's no way this is real life.

First, ESPN's Mike Golic stands out from the crowd by boldly predicting the Saints will triumph in the face of adversity. Next. someone named "Schalter" on Bleacher Report, who I could not be bothered to make any effort to find any information because it's fuging Bleacher Report, also declare that the Saints shall win. Outside of the Saints' moronic fanbase, these are the only living human beings that I can find relying on pre-determination and delusion when looking at this game.

This should be noted and admired. And laughed at.

Anyone that has listened to 10 seconds of Mike and Mike knows Golic is a fugging idiot.

Golic is known for going opposite whatever Greeny says and vice-versa. Not as bad as the guys on first take, but pretty close. 

You know "coach speak?" Yeah this is basically vanilla talk show rhetoric. So sick of ESPN I can't even take it anymore. Sure, I'm a homer at heart, but the media bias against most of my favorite teams here in the Carolinas is borderline downright hater-ade and its unbearable.  

Id rather just stay here on the Huddle and rewatch my teams play, sometimes that even gets annoying because of the mental-midget announcers I have to endure. So there goes the mute button and and I don't even get to hear the crowd's cheering.

Blech

      Nobody likes moral victories, but...

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔

      Team is looking good for next season

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
