This Sunday the Panthers take on the Broncos at 4 pm. Tailgating will start much earlier. Our food and non-alcoholic drink is provided FREE of charge with Toys for Tots donation buckets present. 100% of donations go directly to purchase bikes for this week’s drive at the stadium. Our free tailgate food is prepared by Ranucci’s Big Butt BBQ (www.ranuccis.com) and the menu will be posted later in the week so check back for details. There will also be a limited Bojangles biscuit breakfast while it lasts for the early risers with biscuits, fresh made sausage, country ham, eggs, and cheese. There will be plenty of waters and assorted sodas to drink for free as well.

This week’s tailgate is sponsored by Shinner and pstall. Please be sure to thank them this week for their generosity because they make your gameday easier without having to plan/buy/cook/wash/cleanup/load your car/burn your food/etc. All you have to do is show up and enjoy good food.

Sadly this week concludes our regular season tailgating and hopefully there will be at least one playoff tailgate but as of now there are no guarantees. The presentation of the bikes to the Marine Corps will take place at 12:45 at the north gate. Thanks so much to all of you who have donated. We have raised over $5000 so far and have exceeded last year’s cash total.

Here’s the usual info:

Tailgating FAQ’s

1. Where do you guys tailgate? A group of 100+ people on the Huddle congregate at a lot that borders Church St., Poplar St., and 3rd St. downtown. Our group is at the corner of 3rd and Poplar RIGHT BESIDE THE LOWER LOT GATE. If you come to the lower entrance gate on the sidewalk you cannot miss us. We are always in the spot BESIDE that gate. We have a big 3X9 banner attached to our tent facing 3rd street that says carolinahuddle.com with big Panthers eyes.

2. How much does it cost? If you park in that lot, it costs $30 and it’s only 3 blocks from the stadium. But you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. You can easily drive back a few blocks from there and park for $5 or $10 and just walk up. Another popular option is to take the train into town for a few bucks.

3. What’s at this tailgating spot? Food and people, how many depends on how many show up. We have 4 tents for cover if it rains and for shade. All the condiments, plates, napkins, and plastic silverware will be there as well.

4. What do I need to bring? If you drink alcohol you need to bring your own as well as a donation to Toys for Tots. We never provide alcohol due to liability issues. Everything else is free (food and non-alcoholic drinks). If you bring a cooler make sure it has ice in it because ice is always in tight supply on gameday. We’ll be glad to store your cooler in our cars during the game but we’re not responsible for it if it gets stolen or if a beer comes up missing during handling.

5. You expect me to believe that you post free food and drinks on a message board and you’ll feed and quench the thirst of everyone that shows up? Yep, no problem, we've been doing this for almost 5 years now. Thousands of meals have been provided free and we welcome all. Some of us just love doing this kind of stuff and have fun doing it. Hopefully everyone that comes has a good time. Remember that this is for charity and that our sponsors have donated their money so that the beneficiaries (you) will donate money to our cause (Toys for Tots) and help needy families this upcoming holiday season.

6. What time do you start? This week we will start at 8 AM.

7. Is anyone welcome? Absolutely! Everyone is welcome even opposing fans.

8. Is it appropriate for kids to come to this? Kids are always welcome but parents should use their own judgment in bringing them. We are not responsible for what they may see or hear and we do not police adult behavior before football games.

I came down for the Tamp Bay beat down, and the tailgate was AWESOME as usual. Zod's cider was like a warm taste of christmas. The Whole pig was ridiculously good. Ranucci is the man. I'm gonna try to come down for this game as well. If I can't make it you guys have a blast. This is the most fun tailgate ever. The Huddle rocks.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Actually I have always felt that using a qb to sneak was a huge mistake even for big guys. Do you remember when Cam sneaked the ball and got a helmet spear to the head and it wasn't even called. It is unnecessary and potentially dangerous. Everyone knows what you are going to do. Why not have a big guy or backup run the ball who is disposable? Yeah they know what is coming if you bring in a big guy. Like they don't if you keep the QB in...... Actually there are many more reasons not to sneak the ball with the qb versus using something else like New Orleans did who could still run or pass.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      you want me to provide evidence of his jump balls? Or bailing the pocket?  I don't think either of those claims requires me to show you evidence.  What do you want evidence of exactly?  never did I mention downfield throws.  I said, he gets blind to play at the lines because of his size (the quick stuff).  There are literally plays I don't have time to search for but have been highlighted on QB school where there is just no way he can see the options on certain plays even if wide open (talking behind and around the line of scrimmage).   Line too close paired with the receiving  option too close.  And the stat I referenced (which you can find on next gen stats) was he is below average at and behind the line of scrimmage....which I'm sure his size/vision plays a role in the why. I have an agenda? Cool.  Then so do you.  and again, Bryce's cherry picked best play (which isn't how anything works).....still leaves him on the low end of production.  I'm not overly bashing Bryce.  I just acknowledge, most signs point to him having a low ceiling.  And in the big picture, that's not the direction you want to go.  He is our QB for now.  I hope he improves.  Which in turn would allow our O and others to develop.   But to me, there isn't much of an argument that Bryce Young is anything but short term solution.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      Again where is the evidence. You keep saying it but honestly you have shown no evidence. Unless you know what he was supposed to do and then what he did do, you don't know anything about his intentions and or forced changes due to height. His completion percentage for passes from 1 to 10 yards was only slightly lower than his best percentage which was 10 to 20 yards passing.  Not enough of a difference to be significantly different.  Truth is you have an agenda that you try to justify despite any evidence to the contrary. Many of us felt the same way but have allowed his actual play to inform our opinion. I still would have picked Stroud over Bryce but I am willing to keep an open mind and see what is there instead of filtering everything through my biases and already polarized opinions.
