Panthers may be winning, but fans still acting like losers

The Panthers have been winning a lot lately, but if you watched the fans in the stadium, you'd think they had been watching the Browns for the past two seasons. 

Its terrible really. No one stands and makes noise unless the Jumbotron tells them to. 90% of fans are in their seats at all times. And a lot of spectators still don't know to shut up when the Panthers have the ball.

I took this picture today seconds after the clock hit 0:00. With about 5 minutes left in the game, fans began to pour out of the stadium. The stadium was maybe 30% full at the 2 minute warning. Check out the seats below the Jumbotron in the picture attached.

Honestly, I'd like to say there is hope for a culture change, but that might not be for another decade.

I was at games where it was sub 50 degrees and raining on Monday night football.  I was at a game where there was a monsoon against the Saints and everyone stayed in their seats.

I wasn't there today, but it was hot and the game was looking like a blowout going into the 4th.  Not surprised people left and not surprised by the very end of the game everybody was mostly gone.

Our fans for the most part have been pretty great last few years

I think this type of thing would happen at all NFL stadiums under similar circumstances. I was at a Lions Pats game in 2014 during our bye week in NE and the Lions were getting beat pretty badly and Pats fans were pouring out early in the 4th. Wasn't hot or a long game like this either. Happens at most other sports too in blowouts, or games in hand. To many it makes no sense to stay for meaningless 5-10 minutes left in the game and to watch a bunch of kneeldowns. That's not my way of thinking since I loved seeing Bradberry get his pick and the clock hitting 0:00, but I can understand how non-hardcore fans wouldn't want to stay and would rather just get out of the scramble after the game faster.

Cheese and whiners. 

:) 

Tbh, everybody waiting to see what we really got. No worries. Yeah, it was the 49ers , but so what...Confidence is back , Mercer really lost imo, just need to adjust to the way teams play us now. We lost 50... but they are treating us like we won, even Denver. 

So many choices..

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
