#6 Mei Xiang – Dead (RIP) #13 Xin Xin – Dead (RIP)
“"I added another 3 Completions to my stats but statistics can be misleading and in the case of our last game they don't show a clear picture of what happened. It was a weird, bloody, and fateful night from start to finish. The fans were rowdy, the cats were rowdier and we mourn the loss of two invaluable Pandas. Congratulations to Bastet for the hard-fought win. We made them sweat and fight for every inch of ground even as we were down."
---Jing Jing, Fighting Panda Thrower
"Panda Blitzers have always had a short life expectancy. Mei Xiang played 19 games for the team, more than any other Blitzer before him. He was a rock in our line, a inspiration on the field, and a friend off the pitch. He'll be sorely missed. We're playing our next game with two Blitzers. The situation is worse than it has ever been, and it has been quite bad in the past. It's up to me and Tai Shan to play for two and avoid all injury."
---Zhang Xinyan, Fighting Panda Blitzer
"I accept this MVP award in Xin Xins name. He was named Most Valuable Player post-humously. He earned two MVP nominations in his lifetime and was one of our longest-serving and reliable Blockers. Xin Xins MVP award will find its place in our teams trophy case and, I can say this now, after a quick word with our management, Mei Xiang is going to be the first Panda inducted into our Hall of Fame at the end of the season."
---Bai Yun, Fighting Panda Lineman and team captain
"We were on a high after our game against the Hammerhands. Bastet brought us back to the ground in a most painful and cruel manner. The Curse of the Bambooni can not be defeated. In Xin Xin we lost a valuable lineman, in Mei Xhiang we lost a great Blitzer and leader. Their loss will hurt for a long time. Although ... I have heard Zhang Xinyan request that Mei Xiangs old boots, those with the extra-long spikes that made him 'Mei Xiang the Unmovable' be handed over to him. So perhaps Mei Xiangs legacy is going to live on in Zhang Xinyan."

“Bubasti, Bastet Blitzer
"You thought Fighting Vermin was bloody? I hope you watched this game too. These games rarely go without spilt blood, but fortunately this time it wasnt ours. The Pandas, so renown for being dangerous, couldnt do more than knock one or two of us silly for a moment. Bastet is really in the zone right now, and we look forward to more rampage the rest of the season."
Ceilican, Bastet Blitzer
"Ha! I saw those interviews with Po and Bo, and they think they're so badass, but who ruled the field today? Bastet blitzers, that's who. We ate those two up like catnip and went back for more! I see Bubasti finally started pulling her weight and learned from my teachings. Bout time woman."
Khan, Bastet Catcher
"Today is a milestone for me. I didnt do as much as I normally do, but I got a few key plays, a touch down, and you know what? I'm a star. The first Bastet Star!"
Crinos, Bastet Catcher
"I'm really happy for Khan, she had a great day, and so did I. I'm going to be Bastet's second star, here any day now. I scored twice, and thats what we needed, so that's what we got!"
Calico, Bastet Thrower
"Good match for me tonight, three completions, I made sure Jing Jing didnt steal the show with his above average game. I hope Kitten was paying attention, she'll have to do it someday."
Furrball, Bastet Linewoman
"Did you see me? I was standing there, and there was that lineman, and I went POW! And he just fell over and never got up again. Not bad for my second game, dont you think?"
Siberian, Bastet Linewoman
"We played well, and we played hard. Credit to the Pandas, they didnt give an inch even when we were beating them within an inch of their lives...though they seemed to do a good job beating themselves dead...We came through where we needed it too, made it as hard as we could for Pandas to retaliate, and now we go celebrate sweet victory. BASTET WOO!!!"
Swara, Bastet Linewoman
"Meow!"
