Where was everyone? Last year there were thousands of Panthers fans at the Georgia Dome, this year.. maybe a few hundred.. the turn out was pathetic! If we can't travel a few hours South on 85 we're a pathetic fan base. We should have taken over the Dome like we have in the past.. instead we were quiet, many of our fans left EARLY (I'm talking 3rd quarter) and in general we did nothing in the way of supporting OUR team. I guess all of the local Panther fans flipped to be Falcons fans. :mad:

Probably didn't want to go after getting blown out in the playoffs, going 0-4 in the pre-season, and getting raped by the Eagles.

I have gone every year for the last 8 years. If people don't think we will win, they don't show up. We don't have the large die hard fan base of some other teams(cowboys, steelers, bears). It would be the same for Atlanta if they weren't playing well. This year you will see a lot more Falcon fans and BOA than last year. Its just human nature I guess..............

I'm not buying that at all.. not with the number of people that went to the Eagles/Panthers game in week 1. We have a bunch of bandwagon fans, we think the Falcons fans are bad.. we need to look at ourselves. I was embarrassed by how well the Falcons fans watched the game yesterday at the Dome, we as fans don't know when to shut up or when to be loud when we're at BOA. All I know is I'm no longer giving Falcons fans anymore crap, they have a great team and fans.. we just need to rebuild.

I was there. I'd guess that there were probably 1,500 panthers fans. It wasn't a good turnout. I figured that some of those who already had tickets went to the game. Some of those with tickets sold them online and didn't want to make the trip after the eagles game. Couple that with the fact that some of the Panthers fans in Atanta probably didn't feel like going to scalp tickets after an embarrassing loss. I was expecting to get a lot of poo from the atlanta fans, but it wasn't bad at all.

1,500 is being generous.. but I agree the Atlanta fans are class acts.. I only ran into a couple morons, you'd expect that, even at BOA. Not all NFL fans are all there after a few beers. :P

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
