I looked around but without a picture it was hard. I did speak with a gentleman who made an announcement about the marching band and introduced myself and thanked him for the party. Me and my girls went into the game with a nice buzz. LOL There is nothing like going to a Panther game especially if you add an awesome tailgate.

You gotta get unity in the Family. Eagles are as bad as being a WFT fan,

Certain rules apply and you just don't break them, They set boundaries and you just don't cross them. I value my health over a stash. LOL

My current woman hates facial hair so that wasn't an option. These three young ladies are true Panther fans. Not bad since one is in Cowboy country, One is in WFT country and the other is in Bucs country.

I made it to the Philly game and attended the Roaring Riot's tailgate party. I was able to get my daughter's from Florida, Texas and Virginia to come along. In 2006 we had pictures made and recreated them at the game. Thanks for the great tailgate party and though we lost it was a great time at the game.

I see us stacking up on quality CBs and in this league you never have enough quality CBs. I like it and hopefully we'll reap the benefits soon.

To try and put the blame on Darold is ridiculous. Our oline gave him little or no time. All the hatred comes from the "I want Fields fans" and any possibility to point the problem at Sam is obvious.

You knew the haters would come out. Give him a competent o-line he'll be great.

I believe Shi Smith is going to be another steal of this draft. He's in a perfect situation where we can groom him slowly and put him in the lineup as needed. Trading him for a lineman is only going to give us the caliber of players we already have. There aren't many teams that are going to give away upper echelon talent for a WR.

Make sure you come back here Sunday night. You're going to have alot of crow to eat. Cowboys are good but they are very beatable. This isn't your typical defense. When Dak tries to extend the play outside one of our speedy players is going to make him wish he was still in rehab.

While trading Robby is a good deal for another team since he recently signed an extension. We would be taking a huge gamble on Smith and Marshall. Though Robbie hasn't had as many targets as we would like he is still a critical part of our offense. #1 CBs are targeting Anderson which is leaving Moore in one on one situations. Losing Robbie moves the double team to Moore and will leave two rookies and/or Zylstra to find openings in the defense. As much as I hate to say it, I think we are going to have to ride this O-line as it is. Hopefully, the Rookies step in and take over. We've addressed the line in the draft and need our rookies to step in and contribute, rather sooner than later.

I think what excites me about this trade is. It's not performance related. He only played 8 games last year. I could see major concern if he just couldn't cover his grandmother but it has to do with atmosphere more than talent. Many have posted how the team just raves about what we are trying to do. Everyone is onboard, especially the defense. It's infectious and I think this guy is going to get here and be overwhelmed with the culture this team has. I also read where he wanted out of Florida for whatever reasons and he was drafted by a Florida team and worse than that. The worst team in Florida. How many players come to Charlotte and build their families here and stay here after their careers are over. I've only been to Charlotte for games and never lived there but I can tell you from what I have seen and compared to Jacksonville (where I spent a year in the Navy at) Charlotte is leaps and bounds a better place. Get him around the right people and this will be the trade of the season, league wide.

Darnold is a warrior. I've read he's all in and does everything to prepare himself. I think this game will be on our O-line. Dallas is beatable. The key to this game will be Brady. Though we don't have CMC we do have plenty of weapons to win this game. If he can do what he did after CMC went out last week we can win this game. If we lose, we start the next week trying to go 1-0. That's the mentality we are playing with and it won't be any different heading into the Philly game.

Yes Rookies will make mistakes. Wilson has struggled but stil made plays with a terrible offensive line. Lawrence has made several mistakes but he is still making plays and showing he's learning under a rookie curve. Fields had 1 yard passing and is clearly overwhelmed. Some want to defend that he has a poor oline and they do. Darnold does not have a great o-line and has us at 3-0. I don't think we would be 3-0 if we had Fields running the show here. The Horn selection is looking more and more as the right choice.

The guy is always looking to improve our team. Trading players or scooping them up on the market. He's not overpaying underperforming players just to save face from a 1st round pick. He is on the same page as the Head Coach which makes it easier to find the talent we want. 9 of 11 players drafted are contributing. The other two are in the wings as potential contributors. He's building a team that will be built for the long haul. Can you imagine 3 or 4 drafts in a row like 2021?

The 1996 playoffs where we showed Dallas where Charlotte was will always be a great Panther day but my favorite was the 2015 beatdown in Dallas. Our Defense dominated Tony Romo and the "boys". Favorite play(s) back to back Ints for Luke. (3) Carolina Defensive Highlights (Week 12) | Panthers vs. Cowboys | NFL - YouTube

This is what I love the most about our team. It's not a Luke/TD show. It's the whole damn team. I also think it is going to be hard to game plan against our defense because you really can't focus on one or two players to stop. Stop Burns you get Reddick, Stop Reddick you get Shaq and so on and so on.

Martz is the culprit. He didn't use TE in his scheme so Marty (In a rare move) stole him from Chicago

Saw this online. Panthers Reportedly Reached Out To 5-Time Pro Bowler (msn.com) I think it would be a good signing for us. I also think he would have great fun in this defense. i'd love to see it.

That kind of happens when a 320lb Derrick Brown slams you to the ground.

McDermott knew Rivera's philosophy defensively. If and I mean big IF, Rivera has the players on his defense he might have a top 5 defense. McDermott knows how to dismantle Rivera's defense. I like Rivera a lot but his defense is not build to beat highly potent offenses. Very clear to me.

I saw a stat where he has more 20+ yard throws down field than any other QB. Maybe, just Maybe, Teddy took it to heart and has decided to take the downfield gamble. I think it is a mirage. Totally agree. I think eventually defenses will figure Teddy out like last year and force him to throw the deep ball. Not to mention that they are in a helluva division. KC, LV and LAC seem to be legit teams.

Charlotte was picked to be the home of the Panthers because it was the biggest city closest to the border that could draw fans from both states. THIS IS THE CAROLINA PANTHERS. I grew up in NC so looking for a NC team was always my dream. When it turned out to be the Carolina Panthers based on two states my feelings weren't hurt. We had a team. I think some of you may forget the Richardson amazing presentation to the NFL. The presentation was based on two states. In the beginning of the search for new franchises Richardson's team was a huge darkhorse. If it wasn't for Richardson's presentation we would still be fans of other teams. HOUSTON GET IT RIGHT NEXT TIME.. CAROLINA PANTHERS

The Bears seem to me to be like the Gaze run Jets. They are a mess. I was happy we passed on Fields and think the Horn addition really made our defense stellar. Darnold has great numbers and is pretty much overlooked as a top tier QB. What I like about Darnold is that he's tough and that he executes the game plan well. I said earlier, if our defense remains at the top of the NFL. Darnold is skilled enough to get us in the playoffs. If we can reach the playoffs I would not discount this team as a contender.

I was never a fan of Fields. Though he was a good college QB the NFL is a different animal. I think he'll have some success but IMO will not be better than Darnold. It was a good decision to get Darnold here. All the rookie QBs are going to struggle this year. Fields, Lawrence and Wilson are on really bad teams. Jones is having issues against good teams. Lance is currently a gadget play QB and is probably in the best situation of the 5. Darnold receives lots of love from the media because we are 3-0. He isn't dropping 50 yd bombs but is running the offense very well. Considering our O-line is a mess, he's doing well. Our success relies on two things. Our defense keeps balling out and Brady does his homework and comes up with good offensive game plans to counter our poor line and what better defenses will bring to us. If Brady can come up with a good gameplan, Darnold is tough enough and smart enough to execute it. We'll have our bumps. I don't see us going 17-0. I'll be ready for the bandwagon to be deserted after we lose one game.
