Pivotal Game on a short week

I am very wary of this game on Thursday. It has the potential to either make or break the season. The past couple weeks, the Panthers have seen an increasing number of injuries, some top players out for the season (Davis, Gross). A number of others have missed significant time (Godfrey, Muhammad, Hoover, Rosario). Is this injury trend going to continue, especially because of the short week?

If the Panthers can get through this game injury free and manage to WIN, I would be excited about the rest of the season. But I have this worry, that with the trend we've seen recently about injuries, might catch up to the restless Panthers. Here's to an injury free game!

Injuries happen and you can't predict them or avoid them. Many are fluke plays like Gross's injury on Sunday. Short weeks don't cause them. All we can do is try and create whatever depth we can and hope guys step up to fill the holes when players go down. We have a chance to win the next 3 games and get above 500. Hopefully we don't have any more season ending injuries but the bottom line is that's football.

Its a short week for them too. They are facing injuries to key players as well. If they (the team) want it bad enough..........they will go take it. The Phins want it...........I assure you, and they aren't gonna give it to us. We are gonna have to take every game from here on out by desire, force of will, and the determination to dictate the game to every foe .........every game if we want to be successful. We have to set the level of intensity. If they match it.........we take it up two nothces. Its all about heart from here on out. That and the coaches have to start playing and planning to win, and stop playing not to lose. We have to bury our opponents. We've been in position to do that, but we decided to play prevent defense, and offense. Attack damnit........ATTACK!!!!!c!

Two 4-5 teams with great running games, decent defenses, critical injuries and unfamiliar with each other. We need the win a bit more than them I'd say(seeing as he NFCS is NO's) and we have home field advantage. This will be a game where the little things count. ST and turnovers will determine the winner.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.

      I was just dispelling the "he can't throw past 25 yards" focus jfra.
