Help A Huddler Out!

So I'm trying to come into NC for the Bears game from California. My brother lives in Wake Forest and I'll be staying with him Friday and Saturday night, but I'm trying to inconvenience him as little as possible. Me and my lady will be flying in Friday and leaving Monday. I'm thinking of flying in to Raleigh-Durham, and flying out of Charlotte. I can then just rent a car Sunday morning to come out to the tailgate, watch the game, and then drop the car off Sunday night. Is this a good plan of attack? What hotels are close to the area? Where can I find a place that is good to eat and has good beer close to the stadium? Any help you locals could give me would be greatly appreciated.

priceline a hotel in downtown charlotte, you got plenty of time and they'll all be very close to the stadium. I know Courtyard by Marriott can almost be seen from our tailgate lot. There are tons others I'd honestly just priceline it though.

Pretty sure the Hilton downtown has a rental car kiosk in it as well. Beer places there are tons of so don't worry about that.

Beware of the Raleigh to Charlotte drive. Although on a map it doesn't look that far, truth is, there's no easy, short way to get to Charlotte from Raleigh.

Why am I thinking of the pawn shop from Pulp Fiction mixed with Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs?

And, based on that statement, you might not want to travel any backroads...

My daughter & son-in-law make this drive a few game days every year. It's not a bad drive until you get past Salisbury on I-85 south. Otherwise it's a pretty wide open ride and now cuts off a great deal of road where you never see Greensboro. Find a fast pack of cars and stay with them. They're going to the game too. 540 to 40 is the sweetest drive in Raleigh.

    • At the moment? Absolutely not. Maybe if they drop the next three in a row and go into the deadline at 3-6 I can see an argument to be made to move Rico as he's on a 1yr deal. I'd rather keep Chuba's contract though and roll with ETN + JB next season. The team will have plenty of time to see how JB is looking going into the offseason a year-plus after his surgery to know whether or not they need to plan for another direction.
    • I forgot to mention my thoughts on the rushing grade! 😮 He ran his ass off both weeks. I can't remember the stat offhand but didn't he have something crazy like 120+ yards after contact vs. Dallas? Against Miami he had lanes as wide as the entirety of I-95 to run through which is why his rushing grade wasn't as high as this week's. He's ran like a man possessed and going to earn himself some money in the offseason.
    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
