It happened in the 4th quarter of the Seattle game.

Not sure where this team will wind up.  "So far so good" seems to be such an understatement at this time.  The team, the TEAM won against Seattle.  So many contributors, so many different game-changing plays.  It took all 53 to pull this off.

With that said, I have to say today may be a day we collectively look back and say, "October 18th, 2015...in the 4th quarter of the Seattle game.  THAT is when it happened".

I don't think Cam will be the same moving forward.  He proved to his coaches, the fans, to the media, to ownership and most importantly to himself that he can be even more than had been hoped.

Today was not just another game.  Today the monkey died.  This game will have ramifications for years to come.

He did everything right today. From rebounding from a mediocre start, carrying the team in a critical time down the stretch, to his 'team first' post game sideline interview. on a big stage, with everyone watching. This was big.

More importantly (to me), he shut the mouths of the ill informed NC Russell Wilson fans

I'm wondering if that's what the Bengals went through last week. It'd be funny if we play eachother this season...

Well said.  It is all coming together.  The years of hard work by this organization is finally paying dividends.

Missed the post-game sideline interview. Do you or does anyone have a link to that by chance?

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
