Thought I on the broadcast Sunday that the Nfl will pay for replacement turf for the Championship game?  Anyone else remember that?  

The turf was just replaced during our playoff bye. Doubt it would be done again.

I don't know that the NFL pays to replace it. I thought it was that the team's grounds crew does the maintenance on all games until the Championship game, at which point the NFL send their own grounds crew to check on it to make sure it's up to par. So I'm sure the NFL has to have someone at BOA by now looking into.

escpecially with the way the announcers and the other team made it an issue.

Another interesting fact is the NFL brings in their very own security and personnel during any championship games. Them along with the regular yearly personnel the Panthers also have staffed.

Ya know what, this is what homefield advantage is all about.  If you got a fast team, keep a fast field turf, if you have a team dedicated to the run and slobberknocker football, keep a slightly spongy field and slow them down.  Opponents and "football purists" can bitch all they want, but this is our field and this is how we play football and we earned this by winning 16 games (thusfar), if you don't like it, stop us during the season.

Not whining by any means, but I have to say, the field has looked much worse this year than in years past when we have won awards for having one of the better fields in the NFL. I wonder if the weather or any other factors have played a hand. Methinks the grounds crew will experience a little bit of turnover this offseason.

      XL makes a list of sophomore breakout candidates

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      Former league executive and current NFL.com analyst Marc Ross recently named his top second-year breakout candidates for the upcoming campaign. Ross includes Legette, who may be helped out by his team's latest first-round selection. He writes: Legette had a slow start to his NFL career, catching 49 passes for 497 yards and four touchdowns last season. Some of the struggles can be tied to his own growing pains -- he had eight drops on 81 targets, according to Pro Football Focus -- but he had also had to navigate the quarterback shuffle between Bryce Young and Andy Dalton early in Dave Canales' first season leading the Panthers. Canales recently said he believes Carolina has a DK Metcalf-like talent in Legette, who had foot surgery this offseason but was cleared to resume work in early April, and that having a full offseason alongside Young, who took a significant step forward in 2024, could lead to a breakout result in 2025. I anticipate it will also help that Carolina invested another first-round pick in a wide receiver, Arizona's Tetairoa McMillan, to complement Legette in the pass game. McMillan's presence, however, could take some pressure off Legette—who may be able to roam around in a more natural playmaking role. With the 6-foot-4 All-American likely to take on the bulk of the volume from Young, Legette should have some cleaner shots to break out downfield and in the box score.     https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/05/06/panthers-wr-xaiver-legette-top-breakout-candidates-2025/83475176007/?taid=681a4610ede05d000149b376&utm_campaign=trueanthem&utm_medium=trueanthem&utm_source=twitter

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      my understanding is a big time throw, could be a 5-10 yard slant to Adam Thielen given AT isn't going to separate.

      It's a subjective stat that PFF made up. https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-qb-grading-most-effective-tool-there-is
