Even though the end result was a very close heart-breaking loss, I want to say I am PROUD of this team. And I can't even start to be mad about the outcome.
The Panthers played the Rams a LOT closer than anyone else thought they would, and in all fairness, the Panthers was only one play this way or that way from winning the game and knocking the Rams out of the playoffs.
This is a VERY YOUNG TEAM. Look at all the rookies who played like veterans in this game, and all the second- and third-year players who have never been to the playoffs. As a matter of fact, they said earlier today that over half of the Rams team has multiple games of playoff experience, compared to thirty-some of the Panthers active roster only playing their first ever playoff game today. That, in my book, says a lot about this young team.
I look forward to the off-season, the draft, free agency, and then Training Camp later this summer. It will be here before we know it.
But yeah, THANK YOU, CAROLINA PANTHERS for a good hard-fought year!
