What was your first live Panthers football game?

Canton Ohio in 1995 for me.

My dad drove me up there to watch some dumb sport named football and all I knew about it was it wasn't Mortal Kombat.

the Panthers beat the Jaguars. I was hooked.

Since then, I've missed fewer than 10 home games.

Man, I wish I had your history with games following the inaugural season Fiz...

MY dad hated sports and was/is a dick, so he didn't support me getting into them at all either as a participant or a fan... (No I don't need a kleenex)

Anyway, my uncle took me to the Bucs game our inaugural year, and we almost won... Was in Death Valley, BUT we were so far up in the nosebleeds I the players looked like I was watching an ant farm... I still loved it though. I still have my Game Program with Brett Maxie on the front, he was one of my favorites.

Haven't been able to go to another one sense then for various reasons. But, I'm happy to admit that I've lost numerous menial, poo jobs I've had for calling out of work to watch every game lol.

If anyone here has PSLs and won't be able to make a game the rest of this season, please let me know! I definitely want to make a game this year, and plan on taking my kids sometime in the next couple of years when they get old enough...

My dad got tickets in '95 and we drove down to Clemson to watch the Bucs play...

We lost. I remember feeling ashamed we lost to a team who wore such god awful jerseys...

Wow, that's cool you were there too. I have to admit I liked the ice cream unis better than these ones... 2 plays that still stick out in my memory to this day - Derrick Moore's 50+ yard run... May have been the biggest play from scrimmage for us to that point. And John Kasay hit the upright on an XPA and I promise you that upright shook for about an hour after he hit it, lol, I'll never forget that.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
