Tonight around 8:20pm, we'll have a chance to watch the first meaningful NFL action in months.

And given the matchup, it might just be some great football.

(as great as Week One can typically offer, anyway) 😄

For somebody who's been watching the game as long as I have, kickoff day always feels invigorating. Even during the seasons when I don't have high expectations for the Panthers, just getting to watch teams battle it out again is great. Perhaps appreciated even more so for me since my health isn't what it once was these days. Time is precious, especially when it starts to dwindle.

There's also something to be said for viewing a game where you don't have a rooting interest. That's when you can just relax and enjoy yourself rather than worrying about the ultimate result.

Well, unless you're one of these rabid fantasy football guys, of course (I'm not) 😆

In three days time, we'll all be grinding our teeth, biting our nails and praying to deities that we believe in (or in some cases don't, just in case) as part of an effort to try and will the Panthers to the kind of victory that's eluded us all too often over the past several years.

But for tonight at least, I'd invite everyone to tune in, sit back and just enjoy the game. Specifically that one which is, In my opinion, the greatest game there is.

Happy Kickoff Day, everybody 🙂

I like McVay and a couple of guys on the Rams, but I like more players/staff with the Panthers North, err, I mean Bills.  So, I'm hoping they stomp the Rams tonight, but not really moved either way.

I always root for playoff positioning. Which means when it's a AFC/NFC game, I root for the AFC team.

Jealousy aside, the Bills are a pretty easy team to cheer for.

One down note: I might be cutting it close getting back in time for kickoff because I'm gonna be heading to my grandson's soccer practice at 6:00, after which Lady Cowboy Fan and I might be taking he and his parents to get some chow.

I always love seeing the first kickoff of the season, but getting back in time for this one might be difficult.

Family though...

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Did Cam Really Say This??

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
