Shame on the wine and cheese fans

The stadium looked like 1/4 of it was empty. On top of that, section 514 was littered with Eagles fans, possibly 5 to 1. It honestly sounded like I was in Philadelphia. Where is the fan loyalty during a winning season? 

 

Also screw the old lady in front of me who looked behind every time that I cheered.

This isn’t Cleveland where losing is a novelty. Give Panther fans a reason to spend money and go out to the stadium instead of watching on TV.

Losing to a 3-1 Eagles isn’t going to do it.

Starting the season 3-1 isn't a reason to be excited?

25 years in I'm glad we've finally ditched the 'young franchise' excuse for our awful fan base.

Lol, the wine and cheese fans do no sit in the upper deck!!!!   That's your neighbors sitting up there.  Someone said we should be the Charlotte Panthers.  Heck today it looked (and sounded like) the Charlotte Eagles.

Yeah it was pitiful. It was louder when our O was on the field. Literally the only thing the fanbase can control, we didn't. And I do think it contributed to the Eagles gaining momentum later in the 4th quarter as Eagles fans got louder. Maybe we deserve a shitty team?

PSL's aren't inexpensive in 514. Agree with the rest though.

Not when your average is 6 wins for the past four years all while starting the season with decent records.

But in the end it’s not about the first four games rather than the past 4 years, you need to win in general to change a culture.

    • Or just don't be an ass and hang out in the left lane. Just use common courtesy. The people who tailgate and be an ass are no better and its not a surprise that a lot of road rage incidents occur when inconsiderate people and assholes cross paths. Just make an effort not to be either. "Not allowing the bully to bully you" is also being an inconsiderate ass to the people behind the "bully" who would also like you to GTFO of the left lane.
    • It was completely disgusting and the most obvious fix I’ve ever witnessed. Deflating. It’s probably gone on for decades but high def TV has truly outed the egregious ‘officiating’. When was the last time a small market team was allowed to win a SB?  Offensive holding is it, and it’s so predictable. 2nd and 7 turns in to 2nd and 17. Defense pins their ears back, covers the slot guy and TE roaming the middle, and watches for the WR/RB screen. D line needs to maintain gap integrity. The deep shot to the WR down the sideline is a low percentage play so no real worry there. Most average O lines won’t be able to convert.  Loser getting too close to FG range in a close game? Holding. Winner needs a short field? Holding. DCs love them some obvious passing downs. Narrows down the playbook and significantly puts the odds in their favor. Put a team in 2nd/3rd and long all day and they are NOT going to win that game. It would be interesting to do a statistical analysis of the relationship of holding calls and game outcomes.  This is where having skill position people that can go yard on any given play is so valuable. 
    • It can still be enjoyable.  I don't think the players are in on it.  I mean, I think they probably understand the "business" but they are trying.  So it's fun to watch them.  But I admit I'm not even close to emotionally invested as I was before the SB50.  It also just happens it's usually on a Sunday and I don't have much going on anyway.  I really think it's just one head ref that can push a game the way he wants it from instructions from the man upstairs.  Why else do they keep bad refs?   I don't think it always works out when they try to push the game though but more often than not it works.  Sometimes a team can beat the refs and the opposing team but it's rare.
