Bronco Fan coming to pay a visit!!


Bronco bully

Recommended Posts

First off, I would like to say that I have much respect for the Panthers. During the offseason I picked them as a sleeper in our little office game going on here. As of right now, the Panthers have proven me correct. Hope Panther fans give respect to fans of opposing teams (as long as their not idiots lol). I'm on the 500 level and I wouldnt want to throw any hecklers to the lower decks :D. I just hope this is an injury free game along with a Broncos win of course. Come on!!! You can afford one loss against a non conference team :thumbsup:. It will benefit you during the home stretch. Anyway, I'm not sure how tailgating goes for fans of opposing teams but hopefully I'll take part of the tailgating posted activities posted in the forums.

One nice thing about the NFC South - I have never had an issue wearing Panthers colors when going to a game in Tampa, Atlanta, or New Orleans. Okay, the ATL fans were a little rude a few weeks ago as we were walking out after that horrible performance of ours (perhaps a lot rude), but nothing that couldn't be handled by being pleasant in return.

Sure, there are always a few bad eggs in each city, but as long as you don't "taunt the natives", everything is usually okay. While I have attended games at BOA with friends who were fans of the opposing team, I have not seen them treated poorly -- and I would hope that Panthers fans would treat visitors nicely around the entire stadium, just as we would expect to be treated if we go on a road trip to support our team.

The Panthers 2009 scheduled road games include Dallas, NY Giants, New England, NY Jets, and the NFC West. Something tells me that visitors aren't going to be welcomed warmly in the NE, but I'm willing to give DAL, SF, or ARI a try. SEA, not so much - although I love visiting that city.

No, we don't play in the NFC West amongst the dregs of the league. Even our whipping boys (the Saints) are a pretty decent team. We must win every game to make sure we are in the playoffs, and we need to keep our spotless home record. The only budgeted loss we may able to come to terms with is next week at the Giants.

I had a great time in Oakland this year - ATL fans, at least inside the Dome, were far more rude.

I go to at least one away game every year, and if we play a cold weather team in September I will head north most likely - would like to get to ARI as well...but the far off goal is to get to all the stadiums eventually....

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
