Nice job Falcon fans

70% Michael Vick jerseys

14% Random Falcon players jerseys

14% Cam Newton jerseys

2% plain shirts

I didn't see as many Vick jerseys as I thought I would. Saw a few Peppers and Mushin jerseys.

Generally speaking, the crowd I was with was relatively entertaining:

* a ton of Auburn fans there to cheer on Cam

* one proud Falcon-cheering dad with his 1 or 2-year-old son who was proudly wearing a Cam panthers jersey. I motioned over to him, with a "what the hell, Dad?" kinda thing and a big smile/thumbs up towards the kid. Dude laughed, shrugged his shoulders and indicated that it wasn't his choice what the kid wore. Pretty funny to me.

* A larger Panthers contingent than I've seen in the past 4 years or so, making the trek down I-85. Kudos to them.

Yeah, the game kinda sucked, but there are enough other threads to talk about that.

From where I was sitting, I saw a ton of open/empty seats throughout the game. And they call themselves local fans, too.

The good: Lots of Panthers fans stuck through to the final seconds of the game, while the fair-weather Falcon fans were migrating out in the middle of the third quarter so they don't get caught in traffic (boo-hoo!).

The funny: the customary post-game shout-out, "have fun on that four-hour drive back to Carolina!". My reply, "Dude, I live here -- I'll be home before you leave the parking lot!" Their response: "have fun on that 10-minute walk back home!"

The bad: the obnoxious Falcon fans blaring their car horns and shouting out their windows to any Panther jersey they saw. You're cheering that much/that excited because the Falcons beat a team that's only won one game this year? Yeah, good for you.

      Grading the Panthers' 2026 Draft Class

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking

      I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
