When was the last time this team actually tried to score before the half?

What a fuging breath of fresh air. How many times did Ron Rivera kneel out the first half with all 3 timeout remaining? This team had the lead and still decided to drive down the field and get a touchdown. That was unheard of in the past decade of Panthers football.

May have been my favorite part of the entire game.

It may have been a first in franchise history lol. Was great to see!

I started to have flashbacks of Rivera standing there with all 3 timeouts watching the offense run it up the gut 3 times in a row. 

I can't remember the year but it was at home against the saints. We run it 3 times and punted it back with all 3 timeouts left and the Saints got it back with like 40 seconds and drove down and got a FG.

Rivera really was the worst

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
