Snow Storm Saturday?

Bad weather would be a HUGE advantage this weekend.

Not only does this years team have a lot of practice with that as we played in a bunch of bad weather games, but it would take away any advantages the Cards have with their WRs vs our DBs

Bring on the snow and/or rain, please......

Welcome to the Carolina's in January.

Sometimes this happens in late Nov. through December. Always January and February. Cold wet icy soil. Makes for some old school football, and speed teams will suffer. This is big boy football. Leave your track spikes at home.

Conditions that fluctuate between 30 to 40 degrees in snow/rain conditions is what causes the soft turf. The lower layer of soil tends to stay frozen while the upper layer thaws causing the grass to give in the thawed layer and not the frozen layer below. This also leads to the top layer of soil becoming more saturated with water. Then if the temperatures drop a few degrees into freezing the upper layer of soil becomes slick and icy.

I do not think any other team in the league is in an area that has turf conditions like the Carolinas in the winter (maybe Tennessee). The Panthers practice outside on a field with those conditions.

Home field advantage!

    • I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50. 
    • And don’t worry about Bryce he will be great… Peyton Manning had a horrible rookie year too 😂
    • Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
