Mickey: We have a hostage situation, and I don’t think either Kevin Spacey or Samuel L. Jackson is walking through that door to save this team. Much has been written (in fact, full posts have been devoted to scanning the Interwebs to see everyone’s opinion) about Jake Delhomme’s utter decline and how he’s potentially bringing [...]

NFL Week Six Status Meeting: Tremble Before Me!
Smokey: Week six was a week of statements, be they declarations of domination, or yips of putridity. After completing three-eighths of the season (math!) we’re able to accurately the gauge where the season’s at, and we have a better idea of where the season’s going. For some, this is an encouraging time of the year; [...]

Avoiding Humiliation: Can the NFL’s Four Remaining Winless Teams Get One?
Just a few years ago, the notion of an NFL team going either undefeated or winless was dismissed as crazy talk. Now with the 2007 Patriots going 16-0 and the 2008 Lions doing the opposite, it is a distinct possibility for teams to reach these heights (or lows). Yesterday I took a look at the [...]
Pursuing Perfection: Can the NFL’s Five Remaining Unbeaten Teams Stay that Way?
Just a few years ago, the notion of an NFL team going either undefeated or winless was dismissed as crazy talk. Now, with the 2007 Patriots going 16-0 and the 2008 Lions doing the opposite, it is a distinct possibility for teams to reach these heights (or lows). This got me curious. Through five weeks [...]

NFL Week 5 Status Meeting: Party in the USA
Mickey: When the Panthers schedule came out in the spring, I reviewed it and immediately emailed Joseph to ask, “Charlotte road trip October 11th?” That’s right, we signed up for the first official Cubicle GM field trip. Besides the inevitable epic battle betwixt the Panthers and Redskins that would pit the two of us against [...]
The Fax of Life: Fantasy Football
Week 4 was the bye week for the Carolina Panthers. Aside from a tangential investment in the Bills, I was staring down the barrel of an autumn weekend wherein I had no rooting interest in pro football. My mind wrestled with this idea while my liver wrestled with the lack of booze being delivered before [...]

NFL Week 3 Status Meeting: Fandom as Masochism
Mickey: Three weeks in, and you should know the shape of your team. For me, tonight, this is incredibly disturbing. The Carolina Panthers have limped into the 2009 season, standing as one of six teams sitting at 0-3. In the eight games the Carolina Panthers have played in 2009 — one playoff game, four preseason [...]
