Recently got back from Jersey and seeing the game Sunday night... Here are a few tidbits...

-New York fans weren't too bad, some were annoying but nothing bad. I got a lot of boos in all my Panthers gear but it was all in good fun. I was told that we have "the gayest uniforms in the NFL and the teal socks our team wears are super gay." Most of them have a chubby for Justin Tuck.

-The winds really are swirling in that stadium... I was in the lower level to the left of the endzone when Kasay's FG in the 4th quarter when wide left; and it really did have the distance it just got pushed by the wind.

-Giants fans in the stands were glad we weren't involving Steve Smith in the offense much after the first half.

-I questioned Jake's arm strength on a few of his throws, but we've seen he can still connect on some deep passes (GB game).

-You guys know this already but Peppers gets held on every god damn play.

-I think our red zone play calling was very good for the most part.

-I blame the loss on a mix of our D-Line/LBs not being able stop the run and the Giants making plays when they had to. It took some balls for the Giants to stay with the running game when they were down by 11. Our offensive play-calling was painfully obvious in the second half most of the time, but with 28 points we should have been able to win it.

-Brandon Jacobs was f*cking pumped before the game and he got the crowd into it pretty good.

-Their fans didn't seem to understand that they should be quiet when the Giants were on offense but whatever.

-The throwing of snow was hilarious.

-A lot of people were taking jabs at Keyshawn Johnson when he came out of the tunnel for some reason but that didn't last long.

-Jonathan Stewart looked at me and that was pretty cool.

-That stadium inexplicably smelled like turkey... Or at least the section I was in did.

I took pictures but they're on my girlfriend's camera so I'll try to update this with pics when possible. All in all it was a really good time, though it did suck walking out of the stadium with a number of Giants fans yelling "SUPERBOWL" and having orgasms over the win. I also felt pretty cornered when I was in the bathroom surrounded by 30 Giants fans being the only Carolina fan but it was mostly just boos.

We had our chance to win this game and we blew it. Defense came up with a good stop in OT but we couldn't capitalize. Hopefully we pound the Saints next week and take the NFC South so this bull about "last place previous year equals championship lolz."

this I can relate to, living in Jersey in the shadow of NY. A lot of my friends are Giants fans and once in a while they'll rag on the uniform. I guess it's mostly the fact that they think the design is radical or whatever, and the giants' uniform is more old-fashioned gridiron looking.:frown2:

Good report. New York fans are not the only one's wondering why we didn't involve Steve Smith in the 2nd half. Not one single throw to him ????

mmhmm. There was maybe one throw to steve in the 3rd that the wind caught and fell short. That was it.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
