Is it worth a few flags?

I'm the same age as Manning. There is definitely a huge difference between getting knocked down and getting knocked down even a few years ago. It feels the same at the moment, but man it lingers a lot longer. Getting old sucks

Agree with this 1000%, it's much harder now to recover from things that used to not even bother me.

I don't agree with blatant late hits, but if Johnson or Hardy have a bead on him and it's not overtly late, hit him and let the refs decide (and I don't mean try to intentionally hurt him, just a hard football play, we're not the dirtbag Saints). At least let him know you're close and coming. If we don't get pressure on him, he's gonna eat our DBs up.

Yup, nothing wrong with a few "remember me" hits on the QB... especially when the QB is 38 and has a surgically repaired neck.

I don't want to see him injured or even hurt, just want to see us get a few good shots in at the beginning of the game to get in his head.

Defense is playing a lot better without Beason and Gamble...maybe, they were both still hurt while playing...or maybe the young players are more willing to sacrifice their bodies.

Disrupt Mannings rythm and stay in the lanes and the Panthers can neutralize him.

One thing is for certain, if they do that soft zone against Manning, he will eat them alive.

eh, it's week 9. he's been hit a few times already. not like we are the first team to say "hey let's be aggressive and remind the old guy what it feels like to get hit."

Are you more likely to wear a 36 year old Peyton Manning physically or mentally?

physically for sure. i'm just saying that i don't think the panthers would be the first to have this idea. before the seattle game everyone said "just stack the box to stop marshawn lynch. russell wilson sucks. victory panthers." that's what every team tried. my point is that many teams have probably tried to rattle peyton physically. the result? 300.5 yds/game, 20 tds, 6 ints, 108.6 QB rating (leading the league). not saying we shouldn't try to give him a shot if afforded the opportunity, but we should do that with every QB in every game.
