672

In a season filled with bad football, disappointment, "missed opportunities", and plenty of the blame game.....I wanted to share a bit of cool news with you all. We now have 672 Panthers fans heading down to Tampa this week to enjoy NYE, say good riddance to horrible 2016, and support your 6-9 Carolina Panthers.

There are a couple of reasons why I wanted to share this with all of you.....1) it's the largest trip that we've put together. Last year we had 550 in JAX. So even with the team out of the playoffs we're still putting together our largest trip. We did have about 40 people bail, but that's neither here nor there (I did have someone email me 10 mins after the Panthers lost in Nola in October to tell me they now had a family emergency the weekend of Tampa. Laughed hard at that one), but we also had people adding the trip even as recent as today. That's really cool. 2) This is the first time we've ever had this many fans sitting TOGETHER at a game. In JAX we had both of the pools and a lower level section, so even though there were 550 of us we were spread out in three different areas. On Sunday we're going to have 672 Panthers fans all sitting together in the same two sections. I bought out an ENTIRE lower level section and 12 rows of the section next to it. I don't mean most of the seats in those areas....I mean ALL OF THEM. It's going to be ridiculous. I mean....our stadium gets overrun with opposing fans all the time, but I've never seen one whole section and a half dedicated to an opposing fan base. I also know this is a first for Panthers fans at an away game - good poo. 

Anyway....I'm really excited to get to experience this this weekend and I'm proud of our fans for pulling this off. As long as they Panthers give us a non-ATL-last-weekend-game then you're going to hear us rocking on your TV. 

Jesse is coming so he should be taking tons of pics that I'm sure he'll share. We'll be posting a ton to social media if you're interested in following along. 

Go Panthers!

I hope you shamed the ones that backed out accordingly.. 

There were a few legitimate reasons. But a part of me wanted to make a public list of those who just backed out because we suck. But, that probably wouldn't go over real well so I just made mental notes instead.

Any other damn wknd and I would've been in. However, I'm not so sure I would survive a wknd on the beach in Tampa... so maybe it was a blessing in disguise for my overall well being 

 

I love ya but 3 days of you in Tampa over NYE when the game is meanless is more than I can handle ;)

New England next year?

NE will be a big game for us because we have a solid crew in that area, but the game tickets are going to be through the roof so that will knock some people out. 

Other than our normal games (ATL and Tampa) Chicago and the Jets will be the biggest. I've already been working with the Jets to secure a huge block of tickets

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
