Jenkins out for the season
 

Just heard on espn 2 that John Fox announced that Jenkins tore his acl and is done for the year!

This is horrible. Who is Jenkins?

trezelle...?

Defensive Tackle for the panthers

That f*$$((@ sucks. Kris Jenkins, arguably the best DT in the game. Missed most of last year too. The Panthers injury luck continues.

My thoughts eggsactly.

Arguably? You m ust be forgeting about Siavii.

Yes, Kris Jenkins is superb. He only played in 4 games last year. The injury bug hit the Panthers HARD last year, and this year isn't exactly off to a stellar start in that category.

Panthers lost at home to the Saints, and next week have the Patriots visiting. With Jenkins out, starting with back-to-back home losses would hardly be the way they wanted to start the year.

First rematch of Pats-Panthers since the '03 Super Bowl. Ought to be a good game -- those guys are WAAAAY motivated to play well this game.


Edit: Must reduce the amount of crack I'm smoking....or get more caffeine into my system....or both. What a horrid butchering of the English language that was...

We could trade Junior to 'em for a 4th round pick and bag of cheese doodles.

Man, I completely forgot that they were actually in a Super Bowl. You guys ought to get only half credit for that one.

giggitty!

The Panthers almost won that game, too.

Beat Dallas @ home in 1st round, then beat Philly AT Philly to get there. Impressive for an infantile franchise.

aww-right

:shrug: They were pretty good that year. Last year was derailed by injuries. This year we'll see.

But, hey, we're talking the NFC here. It's like role reveral from the 80s/90s, when the AFC could barely call itself "professional football" compared to those Giants, Niners, Cowboys, Bears teams...

Well......it was a tight, tough, competitive and exciting game. They gave us all we could handle. But if AV hadn't honked one figgie, and had another blocked, it would've been a more comfortable game for sure. Let's just say that I've seen that game a few times, and it was pretty clear which team was better, and which was hanging in by the skin of its teeth.

Might be the weirdest Super Bowl ever. Long droughts of no offense, followed by frenzied scoring. Just weird.

Definitely.

My favorite weird thing -- Ricky Proehl caught the tying TD almost at the end of regulation, only to watch the Pats march down the field for a winning AV kick.

Guess who caught the tying touchdown for the Rams 2 SB's prior, only to watch the Pats march down the field for the winning AV kick? Yup, Proehl.

And guess who said "Tonight, a dynasty is born" right before the Pats-Rams Super Bowl?" Yup, Proehl.

I love that guy. He might be one of my all-time favorite non-Patriots. :D
