Fans or no fans and competitive balance

Heard the morning crew on WFNZ talking about this. Seems there are concerns about allowing fans in some stadiums but not others and how that could give teams an advantage. 

So would it be fair if Aints fans are present in N.O. but we can’t have our fans in Charlotte?

Yes I know, we would lose no matter what.

Arrowhead is known to be one of the very hardest stadiums to play in due to the crowd noise...and that was before a Super Bowl, I cannot imagine how crazy that place will be for the next 5+ years.

To the Saints....good lord is that place loud, I haven't been to KC (prolly going this year) but that was by far the loudest stadium I have ever stepped foot in.

BOA sounds like a museum compared to the Superdome.

They should just let home teams pipe in a pre set levels of noise. I don't expect this year to be perfect or even fair. Just having football would be a positive. I could see being bothered if we were a contender but we are not close so it's a perfect year for our rebuild and for me to not sweat any of those details. I just want to see young guys improve and the coaches start implementing their schemes this year.

I would assume whatever rules apply to some teams apply to all, in the interest of competitive fair play.  Probably best to just allow at most 10-15% of seats to be sold, require fans to space out evenly and wear face masks at all times. Even more safe would to just not allow fans in the stadium for any team. Doesn’t get any more balanced than that.

Because you can trust that the NFL will always put fan safety and competitive balance over making money.

Not even just the crowd noise advantage, but what if the players tested positive? What if all of Kansas City Chiefs offensive players tested positive and had to be out and a fully healthy Carolina Panthers team beats them? I doubt that would sit well with Kansas city fans, we would be elated lol!

Automatically forfeit your next two games? No team is gonna agree to any of this, it's all just a pipe dream.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      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.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      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.
