Well, I'm going to miss my first Panthers home game ever this Sunday. It feels weird to say that.

I've been undergoing some treatments for arthritis exacerbated by a fall I took a couple of months ago. The walk to and from the stadium is just too much, and, I have learned from experience, not wise just days after a knee injection. I get my last (?) injection this afternoon, and I have to do everything I can to help this treatment work. That means no undue stress on my knee.

I can't believe that streak is coming to an end. Of course, I'll be watching from home, and hoping that I can be there next time.

The good news is that I sold our tickets easily for face value ... maybe could have gotten more, but that's not worth the trouble.

My mom had back issues awhile ago, and they let her take the elevators to her seat. I know you sold your tix already, but...in case you change your mind :D

My seats are in the lower bowl. No elevator needed. It's actually getting to and from the stadium from my parking space. I've checked other parking lots, and they're either just as far or uphill.

I know there's a handicapped lot where you park and take a shuttle in, but where they drop off and pick up still is a good walk to my seats.

I want to go to a game with excitement and anticipation, but right now, all I can think of is the pain I feel when I'm walking, and it makes me dread the trip.

The other good news is that if this treatment works, I have the prospect of being pain-free for months or even years. If it does work on this knee, I'm getting it done on the other one. I don't remember when I haven't had pain, honestly. I've gotten so used to it, but the fall I took just threw everything for a loop. I'd almost rather have broken something that could be "fixed."

Sorry to here you can't make it but I hope you sold the tickets to Panther fans.

I'm pretty sure they are, but I sold them through the guy who has the seats next to ours. It's a friend/colleague of his. I guess I just assumed he's a Panthers fan, too.

It's a sure bet no Panthers fan on this board would have paid me face value for them, though.

      [PFF] Tetairoa McMillan Will Unlock Bryce Young and the Panthers Offense!

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I am optimistic that we might be on the verge of fielding a sustainable offense finally. The Bryce stats listed above are definitely encouraging. I don’t want to overly inflate this and disregard the previous 1 and a half seasons of production from Bryce and “cherry pick” stats but do hope the benching turns into an inflection point in his trajectory.      Lots of excitement heading into this season.

      Summary The 2024 Carolina defense posted a 44.9 grade last year, which was the worst in the NFL since 2020. They also had the worst receiving grade in the NFL despite a QB that emerged in the second half of last year. TMac is most likely WR1 in this class and is now WR1 in Carolina He's going to be incredibly helpful on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone. Highlights show just that: First highlight is Arizona vs. Utah. 4 verts vs. cover-0, TMac lined up alone on a go ball vs. press = we're launching it Second highlight shows his potential as the X. Runs a backside in-cut and the Tampa-2 MLB sells out on the corner route, leaving his back to TMac. Tough over the middle, explosive after the play. Sees TMac doing a lot of what Mike Evans was asked to do in Tampa. Third highlight shows how effective TMac is in the redzone and it's his one-handed catch vs. Travis Hunter. Brings "indefensible plays." Has size advantage that can beat guys, can jump, and has ridiculous hands. Will help Bryce in year 3 as it will allow him to continue playing "fearless" like he did after coming back from benching. Highlights show where TMac fits and re-emphasizes how he's going to make things easier on go balls, dig routes, and in the redzone: Fourth highlight shows Bryce vs. ATL when he hit AT vs. AJ Terrell down the sideline. Bryce has to hold the single deep safety during his drop to give Thielen a chance (who is only 4yds off of the LOS when Bryce is throwing it). Registers the big-time throw attacking vertically. Fifth highlight is vs. KC on a blitz where Bolton is coming downhill while Karlaftis is dropping back over the middle. Has an in-route that has outside leverage with Chris Jones applying immediate pressure. Layered it over Karlaftis' head for the completion. Sixth highlight is the fade route TD to David Moore vs. Zona. in the redzone. David Moore was the X on this play. Thought this was interesting, especially considering recent conversations about Bryce's intermediate game needing to be better:
