I think in the end we are going to thank the St. Louis Rams.

 

This win galvanized this team and the fans..   St. Louis brought a fight and we fought back.

 

Kudos to Jordan Gross.  The man has been a cornerstone for over a decade.  He took exception to Quinn and his mouth after the sack he put on Cam.   Jordan stepped up for his QB and thing escalated from there.

 

Jeff Fisher is known for having nasty teams.   I think he felt his boys could come into BOA stadium and intimidate the Panthers into a losing their composure and stealing a win.  It didn't happen and our boys fought back.

 

In the end it brought them closer.    This team went into a nasty battle, stood up for each other and WON.

 

Hopefully on Thursday we will see a close knit team go into a hostile environment, battle and win.

 

Soon teams will find out you won't intimidate us.

 

I am proud of them and could see unity forming.

 

Great Job Panthers

I'd actually love to hear from those at the game of how people in the stands were acting today. The environment seemed so much better, and not just because we were winning. Dare I say, it seemed like a "fun" crowd? 

 

If ANYONE was told to sit down or be quiet, as I have been in the past, the person telling them to do so should receive a swift kick in the genitalia.

Based on Smith's comments that multiple Rams players were making comments about his wife, I think it was an orchestrated effort by Fisher. Very Gregg Williams-esque.

Any coach who deliberately tells his (young) defense to get into a word war with #89 is a fuging moron.

I heard Billick mention Tory Holt talked to the Rams CBs and told them to keep their mouth shut around Smith because that was a battle they wouldn't win.

It was actually very different today, a vast improvement. The crowd was definitely into it. More than the 2 of us stood for the defense, practically the entire section, and we were all quiet while the offense was on the field. Yeah, we taunted Long on his way out but he was asking for it. CMPD did look for the fan who dropped the last bottle on his head but I don't know if they found him/her. There were only a handful of Ram fans and they were quiet. The t-shirt guys were going nuts today, one landed on my lap from a rebound, I gave it away. One landed right behind me. Felt like a pink t-shirt magnet lol. Fewer commercials, more crowd encouragement, more music, it was good.

 

Only bad thing is that someone did go through my {little} purse. First time ever. Fortunately my momma didn't raise a fool ... all the valuable things were in my pockets.

This helps us with an identity.

 

The 2003 Panthers were the Cardiac Cat under Jake Delhomme.  The fans identified and embraced that team. 

 

Yesterday our fans identified with the "We are Done getting pushed around" attitude this team is portraying. 

 

I love the unity.  When J. Gross stood up for Cam that said NO ONE F-Ks with MY QB.  Gross is a team leader and though he eventually (smartly) got out of the spotlight.  He was as big a part of getting this image out to this team.

 

It think it was Hardy getting the fans louder and louder (might have been Cam)

 

You could sense (even through the TV) our fans were getting behind our team.

Watching NFL network with the Thursday night promo. "the Panthers are ready to make a run" is their tag line. Feels like were putting it together. Is the process finally over? I sure as hell hope so. Three dominate wins this year it's time to get on a roll!!

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

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

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

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

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
