I think the 7 straight losing seasons, the campaign to reduce fan interest during training camp and the lightspeed stupid decision to start charging for Fan Fest took a toll.

Can we just make 1 yahoo sports thread.  There really doesn't need to be one for every article written.

I mean, given the general lack of threads being started at all, I don't think we need to do that level of housekeeping yet.

The Panthers bot sucked much harder because team propoganda is trash. I consume zero team generated material anymore. Tepper ruined that too.

I mean, be the change you want to see. Throw up a couple of threads based on other content creators. 

It's less an issue with that guy posting the one source than I think it is that Huddle interaction during TC has steadily declined.

Bryce threw an absolute perfect pass on a rope from 45 yards out to the end zone and XL dropped it.  It may have been PI but I still think he must get better at reeling those in this year.

The 5 dollars for a ticket is not new and the decision at the time wasn't stupid. I think it was 2015 or 2016 and more people showed up then the stadium could hold with the way they set up fireworks but it was just show up no questions asked like it had always been and that was fine until 70,000 fuging people showed up. Then the next year you had to have a ticket but you could sign up free. They were snagged up and held for ransom and no one showed to fanfest because they didn't want to pay for something that was given away for free. Then they came up with the 5 dollars that I believe is donated to charity. It's not perfect because people still try to resale them but it's far from stupid. We no longer have the demand problem so they could go back to just allowing everyone in for free but as soon as the Panthers are good again they'd have the issue

Was the upper bowl closed or unused?  Looks like plenty of empty sets in the lower bowl.

This is one of my biggest worries this year. Just one drop at a critical moment can make or break a season. besides hearing he hits the jugs after practice a week ago, I haven’t heard XL doing anything to get better this offseason. Really hope I’m wrong and he shows out

He has been doing a lot, looks great physically and explosive. There was plenty of videos of him practicing routes and this was a great one. But he needs to get better at catching under duress.

It’s fan fest, people get food and drinks and stuff. You expect everyone to be glued to their seats like it’s the playoffs?

Playoffs??!!! LOLOLOL 

This is Teppers' Panthers. This IS the closest thing we have to the playoffs. The games haven't started yet so we aren't piling up losses. I hope this year is different but a hallmark of the Tepper era has been talking draft by Halloween.
