You had to be there to feel it, but the team, the fans, the coaches . . . even the aisle vendors . . . were reunited.  A relationship once static and fading, flamed anew.  This team should beat Tampa Bay even if it is on a short week.  We will see if the "corner" has been turned when we play Atlanta and their atrocious defense.

I don't think I could disagree with this more. The Buffalo game was a six point lead. Killing the clock was the right thing to do in that situation. An incomplete pass, QB sack, or interception would have been a killer.

 

Playing for a FG in the Buffalo game, set up the Panthers to lose with a Buffalo TD, which is exactly what happened (for the umpteenth time with Rivera). If the Panthers would have scored a TD, the game would have been over. 

 

You can't play scared football in the NFL and expect to succeed.

Correct.... Which is a completely different scenario than being up by 15 and controlling the clock against the Rams. One possession game vs a two possession game and a two point conversion is not apples-to-apples. Not every situation should be a go for the kill situation. .

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. 

 

 

It definitely felt different in the stadium Sunday.  First of all, there were not many Rams fans there. Crowd was more spirited and there seemed to be more interaction with the players.  When Cam ran around firing up the crowd, then point to the turf...it was awesome.  He was so fired up.  Loved it!!!!!!

 

I mentioned somewhere else...loved the videos made by players which came on the screen when the Rams were on 3rd down....asking the fans to STAND UP and make noise.  The first one that appeared was Luke..he said "We need you." The crowd responded.

 

Next home game....Atlanta, that place should be rocking.

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.

 

So, what you're saying is this years theme song is "We're Not Gonna Take it" by Twisted Sister!

My point regarding the thread was; "instead of fighting, pushing and shoving, and 'showing your manhood' on the field, why not just stomp the other team out on the scoreboard". To me that's a better alternative than risking getting thrown out of a game (along with the notion of continuing to be aggressive an not changing your offense or your defense too much). 

 

Anyway, the next game is tomorrow, no need to talk about last weeks too much [more].

We need some videos of the players doing this on third down.

      So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?

      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.
