theres little things, such as not washing my jersey when we win, or sitting in the same spot/position when a big play happens.

but one i find myself doing is every sunday morning when i wake up to my alarm going off, i sit up and start singing the "happy go sunday" song, we always win. the only problem is im so excited for the game i wake up 20 minutes early before and we end up losing/ =(

If I'm going to a Falcons game, I always go to the CNN Center and get a huge Sierra Nevada on draft. I then go down to the hell hole parking lot to tailgate under the parking lot. I love my team, but our tailgating is lacking in many ways. That's my regular ritual for going to a game.

When at home, I usually try to get a good mountain bike ride in 3 hours before KO, and then I'll usually have several Kona Longboard Pale Ale's, and I usually stand up for most of the game, walking around snacking on chips and salsa. Doesn't always work, but the beer is good and I usually get a huge buzz on.

I have a Panthers neon light that hangs in the front window, first thing I do on gameday is turn it on, and it doesnt get shut off until I turn in for the night. I am also one of them people that do not wash my jersey with a win. This year, I have been wearing the same color jersey the team is, that doesnt seem to be working..This year too I bought the kids & wife new Panther gear. Guess its time to find them receipts...

:lol:

The Cali Cat Pack had a meeting and decided that this season we wouldn't be superstitious. I mean it never was anything out of the ordinary but it would involve us not wearing the same player's jersey and or color on the same day, we all had to be present at kickoff, no beer until kickoff, one of us had to drink Henessey only, 2 of us had to go outside for "a bowl" during halftime and stuff like that.

But, given our current situation, we are slowing going back to those rituals. They worked fine for us last year.

    • Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed. 
    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
