Wow, it has been a while. Work has been terrible, so I really haven't felt like writing or anything when I am not there. I just want to chill and not do much of anything. It's amazing how an NFL team can get you through what whatever you are going through. For me, right now, the Panthers success has kept me going. Maybe that's a bad thing, a sign of where I'm at in life right now (still single, not sure what I'm going to do to support myself after this year, etc.) But the Panthers have been giving me something to look forward to and something to be hyped about right now.
Anyway, enough about me, let's talk about the Panthers. This has been a season of ups and downs already. This team has truly become "Cardiac Cats II" and this past come from behind win over Arizona continues the trend. The Panthers came back from the dead, down 17-3 early in the 3rd, to win it 27-23. DeAngelo Williams and Steve Smith gave us 2 incredible touchdowns and unsung heroes Kemoeatu and Charles Godfrey made game changing/saving plays. In the end, Carolina came out on top, giving us another thrilling finish. This team is much different from that team in that the Panthers have had some blowout victories along with their last second, come from behind wins that are reminiscent of that magical 2003 season. I think this team is a bit better in comparison, though both teams have their strengths and weaknesses.
This year also marked the 1st time that I made the trek from the butthole of Ohio (Cincinnati) to Charlotte to see my boys play. The game I went to was the 34-0 beatdown of the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a great experience and I should have posted a blog about it, but I just was so beat when I got back and I had a great time. I wish I lived in Charlotte (or anywhere other than Cincy, to be honest) so I could go to more games.
Anyway, that's all I got. It's going to be easier to get through this bye week thanks to the win. If they had lost, it would be an agonizing wait for the Oakland game. See you in 2 weeks!
