Kurt Warner Dresses Up as Jake Delhomme for Halloween

Kurt Warner’s play today reminded me of a QB who I know very well – Jake Delhomme.  Inaccurate throws, not holding on to the ball when he was clearly about to get sacked, tipped balls galore – some of which were picked.  Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse and he couldn’t throw [...]

Just Too Similar

I previously wrote about how the Cardinals reminded me a lot of the 2003-04 Panthers squad.  The Super Bowl further highlighted the similarities between the two teams.  Here are some similarities between the teams: Both teams were kind of under the radar and neither had a history of success in the NFL.  A lot of the public didn’t [...]

I Will Never Understand

I was probably less hyped about this year’s Super Bowl than any other that I can recall.  I barely paid any attention to the two-weeks of buildup for the game because all it would make me do was think about how easily the Panthers could have gotten to the big game.  I didn’t really make [...]

Some Familiar Themes in Today’s Games

The Cardinals executed very well the entire night.  Warner got hot by the [...]

Pray for the Pass D

The Panthers have a rematch with the Cardinals on Saturday night.  First of all let me just say that I fully understand after watching today’s game why a lot of people, including myself, wanted us to play the Vikings.  Their offense is pathetic.  You need good QB play to win the playoffs, and they clearly don’t have [...]

Possible Divisional Round Matchups for the Panthers

So I was thinking about who I wanted the Panthers to play next week in the divisional playoff round, and I kind of panicked.  I thought, “All of these teams in the playoffs are good; I don’t want to play any of them.”  Then I calmed down and realized that all of the remaining teams [...]
