Some fans may call these wins frustrating and gut wrenching. I see it as transforming the Panthers into a battle tested group. This is something that is a must have if you plan on winning in the playoffs.

 

My day started at the Clevelander Hotel on South Beach with some great Panthers fans, let by our very own RoaringRiot. I'd like to give a big thank you to Zack for his hospitality.

Cam started the day in his usual fashion...ie like a playfull 12 year old. This guy loves the game.

Also, I would like you all to just think for a minute about how lucky we are to have Graham Gano. Easily the best kicker we have had in many season.

The day started off well enough, with pressure being applied to Ryan Tannehill regularly.

But unfortunately the Panthers offense, despite the efforts of Deangelo Williams, forgot to play for most of the first half.

In the second half, the Panthers needed a spark. Cam Newton rose to the occasion and began to take over the game.

Which ended in a great touchdown run, and one of my favorite shots of him that I have ever taken...

It was time for the Panthers defense to follow Cam's lead. Thomas Davis was solid in coverage, forcing a key drop.

The Panthers defense began to physically harass Tannehill to give the offense one last chance to win the game.

Sometimes it seemed the Panthers defense was just holding on by a glove...

Greg Hardy did his job in stopping the run and was key in this victory.

Luke Kuechly orchestrated another stop and seemed both exhausted and satisfied.

It was then time for the offense to once again win the game on a late 4th quarter drive. Who did they put at the lead of the charge? None other than Mike "Tugboat" Tolbert who rumbled his way to the goal line.

To be fair to #28, I'd close my eyes if that was the view as well.

 

After a Cam Newton touchdown to Greg Olsen, it was up to the Special Teams to prevent a long return, and you can credit Brandon Williams with the tackle. Many of us have high hope for Williams. If he can start to contribute on special teams, it may lead to bigger and better things.

Overall it was a great game Panthers fans should be completely proud of. Any road win in the NFL is big.

Always a treat when Zod comes by your tailgate to hang out... Especially on a road game. The Roaring Riot represent well in Miami and despite all of the weak attempts by Fins "fans" to knock us off our game, we never doubted and cheered "Let's go Panthers" the entire way out of the stadium.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
