Which game will be less pleasant to go to: vs. Atlanta or vs. Arizona?

If you go to the Atlanta game, you'll get to see the fans packed with more fans of the opposing team than perhaps any other game in team history. It will AT LEAST be top 5 with us so bad and the Falcons so good and the Falcon fans always having a decent presence here when they're good. Plus, it's supposed to be a dreary day with forecasts of very cold rain showers Sunday afternoon.

If you go to the Arizona game, you'll get to see the two worst teams in the league battle it out in a meaningless game on another cold day. Could have one of the least attended games in franchise history.

So if you have your choice, which game would you rather go to least? And you can't choose "neither".

Don't know how crowded the Falcons game will be with cold rain and temps in the 40s. Atlanta fans aren't used to outdoor weather. Mostly will be local folks who disappeared when Vick left and now are coming out with their Falcon jerseys now that they are doing well again. Won't be many Panthers fans there either.

The Arizona game will be better, won't be full of rival fans and we might win. Weather isn't likely to be worse.

I am trying to decide this as well. I'm thinking I will attend the Cardinals game instead of having to endure all the Falcons fans like I did last game with the Ravens fans. Atleast on TV you only have to see all the opposing fans in the bottom sections for the most part and not the entire stadium. It makes me sad and embarassed when I go and i'm surrounded.

Kind of off topic, but I hope it snows really hard when we go play Pittsburgh at Heinz. I've always wanted to see us play in the pouring snow. Think it'd be neat.

I'm not talking flurries either, I want the field to be blanketed so you can't even see any green.

It snowed once before when we went to Pittsburgh, 1999 I believe. We needed to win to basically control our own destiny and get to the playoffs. Played a decent first half and then the snowstorm came and we got dominated in the 2nd half by the Steelers run game. Pittsburgh was pretty bad that year if I remember.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
