Want to send a real message to the front office?

Don't boycott the games. Still go and cheer for your team. But...

Do not spend a dime on concessions. No beer, no food, no shirts, nothing. Do all of your drinking at the tailgate.

Believe me, if there is a noticeable difference in the concession receipts at the next home game, drastic changes will happen.

I like your idea, but no way word gets out to enough people to make a meaningful dent in concessions revenue.

Sadly, you're right.

How about we all refuse to buy gas on Sundays, too?

Gas, unfortunately is a necessity to most. Over-hyper-inflated fatty factory foods, however, are not. Gorge yourselves at the Huddle...alas I can never join you until I'm back on the correct coast.

I know. My point is only that it's very difficult to get enough people to act corporately to make a difference. I suppose the "We want Moore" chants were as close as I've seen a unified Panthers nation. If this weren't an away game, I have a feeling we'd be hearing them in Charlotte this week.

There's our whole problem right there!! They thought everone meant "We Want More!" Delhomme turnovers. We need to change the chant to "We Want Matt!" Glad we clarified this. Matt will now be starting the 2nd half of the AZ game. Bank on it.

I would have been there just like the last AZ game but my parents were visiting from SC and it kinda made things difficult to make plans. :(

I'll just yell at my TV any way.

    • I understand the concerns--he is not P. Sewell or Joe Thomas.  He has technique issues and was not great in the run game and was good in pass protection when UGA did not pass much.  Then there is the immediate need vs long term need perspective.   I did not see Freeland being there-frankly. Here is why:   He has nearly 35" arms and his hands are large (10.5").  He ran a 4.93 40 at the combine.  He is very agile.  His vertical was 33.5".   Physically, he is a freak. He is 21 and he seems very intelligent (coachable). You have to remember, some of these rookies are 24, 25 years old. Freeling is A team player.  His shortcomings are fixable.  Short arms (as with the kids from Utah and Miami) are not fixable.  The Run on OTs began at #9: Fano (picked 10 picks earlier) has 32" arms and his hands are 9".  He did not play in the SEC like Freeling.  Many think the short arms project him to guard. Mauigoa (picked 10th) has 33" arms.  He is a solid player, but his arms make him borderline as a T (they seek 34" and up as ideal)  Kayden Proctor (picked 12th overall) struggled in pass protection and projects by many to RT or G.  Weight management is a concern. So it is possible that Freeling will be the first LT taken who actually plays LT.  (he also has the ability and experience to play RT)  His questions are fixable and not limited to physical limitations.  Here is the question:  If you know that you need a Tackle, and you could choose between all four of these players, who would you pick? I am not sure that Freeling would not be the player I selected if given the opportunity to take any of them.
    • The more I think about this pick the more I like it. The Icky injury might end up being a blessing in disguise for everyone except Icky unfortunately. If Freeling pans out at LT the Panthers have a good player on a rookie contract at a premium position at a time when they’re going to need to potentially pay Bryce for his next contract. Icky was likely going to command a big salary jump for his next contract and now, there’s a strong justification he’s not going to be worth a big money extension until he rehabs and proves he can still play at a high level. Since he’s finishing his rookie deal this season, it will be interesting to see if the Panthers bring him back for the 2027 season. Obviously it’s too early to say and they will probably wait to see how the season pans out with Moton still elite but aging and clearly battling persistent injuries, and they need to see if Freeling can develop into a starter during his rookie year. But ultimately this might have opened up a huge chunk of salary cap for the next 4-5 years. 
    • You read my mind Nastradamus! If Rodriguez is still there I feel like it will be hard to pass on him. And one of these TE we keep drafting have to hit eventually and Delp is just as good as the others.
