Today the Panthers honored fallen military heroes. They did so by having every player wear the initials of a fallen hero on their helmet. The players knew their names and their background, the soldiers they were playing for. 

Before the game, family members of each hero was given a helmet with their loved ones initials and a signature from the player representing them on the playing field. 

It was an extremely touching and emotional moment for many when they were applauded. My eyes started welling up just like theirs.

I was so incredibly impressed by these folks and by the Panthers plan to honor them and their lost loved ones. This needs to be a yearly event for sure. 

Could not have been prouder to support and cover the Carolina Panthers at that moment.

So awesome for the Panthers to do this.  The players obviously took it to heart.

Cam made sure to mention who he was playing for in his post-game interview.  So did Devin Funchess, So did Charles Tillman, So did Jared Allen....

Our guys get a lot of fame, but they know what true heroism is and what really matters.

THIS is why I'm a die-hard Panthers addict.

I actually missed this game because of the Army. First one all season. But I felt like they don't need me pulling for them...they're pulling for the true heroes.

 

My stance has always been, I'm thanked too much for my service. The soldiers that deserve recognition are the ones that can't say thank you back. Veterans Day is for us. Memorial Day is for them.

Memorial Day > Veterans Day

My family is full of veterans who have served in multiple wars…WWII, Korean, Vietnam, etc.

This makes me so proud to be part of Panther Nation and this organization is the class of the NFL.

I did not get to witness this on tv but I knew about it and I read each veteran's bio before the game. I was really choked up and crying through these and am proud to be an American and a Panther fan.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
