Despite the missed PAT, not many kickers could have held it together like that at the end.  Yes, dude was INTENTIONALLY doing that for the Texans--probably told to do so.  No time outs to freeze Eddie, so their player was jumping offside to make him re-kick.  The STs coach/HC should be fined/suspended if found out that was done in attempt to freeze our kicker.

I think it was less about trying to freeze the kicker than it was just trying to time the snap perfectly to try and get the block for the win, especially the second one after we got the 15 yarder, at that point the FG was a gimme anyways.

So if you don't guess the snap and are offsides, either he still makes it and it doesn't matter, or he misses/blocked because of the offsides and he has to try again.  But if you happen to guess perfectly on the snap, you have a chance at a block to win the game, just no downside to trying to guess it and get lucky.

The mistake was by the refs blowing the second one dead, should have just let it go and it would have been over since he made it anyways.

Give it to the head coach as unpopular as that is. Our first win here and this was a team win. Defense balled out but we don’t have a victory without the offense going down the field on the final drive. 

I was thinking the same thing. The team played tough, never gave up, and it produced a win today. Good job Frank and company.n

Reich gave game balls to Young, Pinero, Brown

He should’ve given one to Luvu

No idea what he was thinking…if anything 

I wanted to add to,what Reich said in his press conference about the game bowl choice 

‘Was there a game ball that went out?

"Yeah, so sometimes right after the game you give out a couple immediately and then we'll give out some tomorrow. But obviously gave one to Eddy Pineiro. Got a walk-off field goal. Always going to get a game ball there. Thomas Brown, him calling his first game, you know, in the NFL, being clutch in the fourth quarter in that last drive. Had great poise, great control. Did a good job of sequencing that drive. Then the guys, I know this meant a lot to Bryce, but Frankie and the guys wanted to give Bryce a game ball. His first win. So that was a pretty big deal." ‘

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
