So we all know how much our team relies on things like helmets facing the correct direction, etc. for their success...

Well, after the Packers win, I am afraid I have to admit I might have done a terrible thing.

For the first time this season, I buzzed most of the hair off my head (my typical "easy maintenance" buzzcut) and cleaned up the ol' neckbeard/facial hair. I had stopped myself from doing this in previous weeks, afraid to upset the balance of what the Panthers were accomplishing, but I figured "What the heck? We are at the halfway point and are finding ways to hang on in close games. We're sitting pretty in the NFC right now, etc. etc. etc." Plus, I was looking pretty damned shaggy and not very presentable.

But now the realization has been creeping up on me ever since that I might have done a terrible thing. Add on top of this that I might not be at home to tune in for the first part of the game on Sunday vs. Tennessee. A family obligation will have me getting home just before the game, or an hour or so into it.

Now, grant you, it will at least be on the radio. But I haven't missed watching a live game in a loooong time.

Someone has to pick up my slack this week and start a new superstition for themselves, so that I may rest easy that I have not channeled the wrong energies, nor that my Panthers will be on the receiving end of said energies.

So I guess I am saying "sorry!" in advance, just in case...

Did you spin around 3 times, spit, & throw salt over your shoulder ?

From your own words, it sounds like you actually made yourself better, improved your appearance. Which is this team's motto, one week at a time, constantly looking to improve.

If you can't make it home for the beginning of the game, keep that radio on & it's all good. Laugh/groan at Mixon & celebrate with Eugene. A+

So you are covered, no bad anything coming, all positives. #KEEPPOUNDING

It's fun to think about what you could've possibly done to have this cosmic effect on whether the panthers win or lose, but at the end of the day, they're all constructs of our minds. 

Remember, if you think our uniforms influence whether we win or lose, just think about how the Cowboys started wearing their white jerseys as much as they could because they thought their Blues were jinxed. Now they lose no matter what they wear because that team sucks. Don't be dumb like the Cowboys and start blaming uniforms and other arbitrary things that have nothing to do with game plan, injuries, or SCP's helmet.

I thought this was going in the direction of the DirecTV commercials...

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
