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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
