Has anyone seen Ron's press conference from today?  I couldn't watch it live, and there doesn't seem to be a link at Panthers.com.  Was it perhaps only shown on NFL Network?

If anyone has a link, I'd appreciate it, thanks.

That's weird I JUST watched it like 30 or 40 minutes ago and it's not on there any more...at least I don't see it.

Ron Rivera admitted he's always going to wonder what could have been if the Panthers went 16-0

Next year with KB!!

Luke Kuechly has taken a lot of guys to dinner after Panthers signed them. He says Cam took Kuechly to dinner after he was drafted in '12.

If I remember correctly, Cam took him to dinner with Michael Jordan following him in another car.

Don't remember exactly if Jordan went to dinner with them.

Perhaps so, but I was only referring to the fact that the announcers were trying to give Seattle an out due to the fact that the field was so "chewed up" amongst many other things.

With Arizona used to playing indoors, I'dsay we have more than a true homefield advantage comeSunday

Arizona plays on grass.

Yeah I remember that game.  Favre was picking up chunks of field and showing them off.  I remember Favre swatting Dan Morgan away during a pursuit.  I don't remember if that's when he got injured.  The Panthers were fined for that field being so poor.

Yep, that's when he got injured.  I remember it very vividly.  He was about to make a sack way out of the right pocket for a loss of maybe 10, around the 40, and Favre stiff armed him.  Went from extreme happiness about a sack to seeing Morgan not getting up.  Broke his leg.  I have always hated that moment and wished I was buying a soda instead.

Yep.  That Bermuda grass turns brown in the winter months.  They probably painted it green before last game too.  The sidelines were brown and the playing surface was green.

Had always read good things about our Bermuda.  Ranked 5th by SI and 2nd best by players in '99.

This is the first time we had a regular season game to end the year since 2009-2010 season.  Add that in with the fact that we had an EXTRA 8 inches of rain over the normal amount just during the football months and it just makes for a mess.  I doubt it rains that much every year on average and the NFL will likely have us traveling away again next year in week 17.  There just wasn't much downtime this year for the crew to get it right.
