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

    • Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical. 
    • Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded. 
    • Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
