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.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
