Anybody watching Squid Game: The Challenge on Netflix?
Hilarious stuff. Kinda like the Panthers on Sundays.

Watched the Squid Game drama just before watching Squid Game: The Challenge (I refuse to call it "The Challenge" -- that's a different, and superior, show)

Really liked the overall production values. The setup for the Glass Bridge was fantastic (and behind-the-scenes talk discussed how they had stunt staff perform the actual fall-off-the-bridge piece, which is better than doing it via CGI)

Liked the way the production handled the dorm riots/killing stuff from the drama and interpreted it in a way that worked in the game format

Did not care for how the final cuts all came down, in essence, to games of chance rather than something more nuanced and conversation-starters. It's hard to cheer for/against a coin flip winner.

Other behind-the-scenes gossip? The show was filmed last winter (early 2023) and it was cold/dry in the facility. The contestants resorted to using lubricated condoms as a substitute for chapstick.

This shoot really wore the actors out. Respect and thanks to them for their excellent work!

      What Exactly Caused Bryces Turnaround?

      By Frank9999 · Posted

      I honestly think his struggles were a case of Bryce thinking way too much. CJ just showed up and balled out last year and was very loose. Bryce seemed to be in his head every week overthinking everything, which made him look very indecisive and not confident at all. The benching seemed to allow him to breathe and reset. Hes always been labeled as a very cerebral qb and I think that can actually be a detriment if you overthink every little thing.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      I want to see more of this and at a consistent level but so good so far at the beginning and now damn good so far the past week or two. Hope he keeps it up and can be the guy everyone hoped he could be when he was drafted. Who knows, maybe he has developed his mind to handle everything while being aggressive and maybe this is the true beginning of his career. I sure hope so.

      All I’m starting to see is guys making new excuses oh that’s one week oh he’s did it 3-4 weeks in a row wait until it’s a whole year. Like we can’t celebrate his current success and acknowledge his current achievements like this without still waiting for more development. I’m not saying he’s a top anything QB or he’s that guy he’s showing the potential to be a very good QB in the very near future. It’s like he’s going all the things it takes to be considered a good QB and people don’t want to recognize it’s happening.  It’s going to be a dark place around here if we happen to get him one more weapon like he’s college running mate in a Jerry Juedy type of player he’ll look like Bama Bryce all dam day which some people can’t fathom that kid who was just throwing ducks, picks, and looking like a JV player playing varsity is now playing like a top 10 QB the last four weeks. I myself am utterly confused but it’s happening and I can’t wait to see more I can’t wait to get Cooker back should elevate our passing game which even more.
