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

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
