Panther fans being called out again

When Redskins quarterback John Beck scrambled into the end zone for a 4-yard touchdown in the third quarter of the Panthers' 33-20 win on Sunday, a cheer went up from several burgundy-hued sections of Bank of America Stadium.

The reaction did not go unnoticed by those on the home sideline.

"You don't want to see that. You don't want to have a bunch of maroon fans in the stands," left tackle Jordan Gross said Monday. "But if we were undefeated, you probably wouldn't have that many. So hopefully the fans recognize the importance of home field and home games, and they're keeping their seats for Panthers fans."

Still, Rivera understands establishing a home-field advantage is a process.

"We appreciate" the fans, Rivera said. "It was tough (Sunday). It was a pretty raucous crowd with a lot of Redskins fans in the crowd. We want to look up and see a sea of blue."

Jerry needs to lower the PSL prices for a season so we can get more young fans locked in. Or, how about opening a non-PSL season ticket section. I'm tired of dealing with opposing fans. Luckily my PSLs are in a pretty solid section but we still get the trash from other teams.

McDermott said he thought Bank of America Stadium was a tough place to play when he was with the Eagles.

"When we used to play here, I thought this was a good place to play in terms of a hostile environment, with physical, tough football players. And I still believe that," he said. "I've come to realize that these fans, when you put a good product on the field, they're one of the best fan bases in the NFL."

It's time to step up people.

The cheapest way to get tickets is to just buy them. If people want to go then they can just go. I'm not sure how adjusting PSL prices are going to fill the stands with people who aren't going the cheaper route that's available.

PSLs/Season tickets are a commitment. Just going down to the stadium on a whim creates situations like Sunday. Season tickets can always be scalped, sure. But when the Panthers are selling PSLs at $3k minimum, that eliminates a large portion of fans that could afford just regular season ticket packages.

    • I hope Bryce balls out. Wouldn't bet the farm on it though. Morgan has to be practical though. He was placed into a situation where he was compelled to give Bryce a long look. There really haven't been any more practical options due to who has been available at the position. The Panthers had already put their chips in with Bryce, so putting more chips in by borrowing against the future and stacking on that by borrowing against the future without really having the requisite draft capital was a nonstarter. We could either dump Bryce and go dumpster diving for known and unknown JAGs at the position, or take out chances and let it play out with Bryce and hope for acceptable returns. Due to what looks like some good moves in the draft and free agency, it appears like we're finally getting into a position where we can take a swing again if need be without destroying the core of the team. I understand that you'll believe it when you see it, but Dan is gonna move on if Bryce can't cut it. There are too many professionals lives and careers tied to Bryce to simply accept the status quo. 
    • Football is the ultimate team sport. No sport is more dependent on others for your success - including coaching. I don't know if Bryce is the guy, but I do know this has been a very bad team all around since he got here. One of the worst o-lines and coaching staffs I've ever seen his rookie year. One of the worst defenses and receiving groups (including TEs) I've ever seen his 2nd season - with a rookie HC and OC. An improving WR group his 3rd season mostly due to a rookie. The only other WR of note didn't really play well until after the 10th game of the season due to injury. Still no receiving TE to speak of. And lost games because of the worst pass rush in the NFL. And the only speed he's ever had on the field was DJ Chark. A washed up DJ Chark that played here one year and has had 31 yards receiving since leaving.  Carolina had no business moving up for a QB in 2023. They weren't ready. Especially if it meant trading your only good WR to do it. Now finally there's potential on defense. Potential on o-line. Potential at WR, including some actual speed in a game where speed kills. If BY falls on his face this season, then he has to own it. Situation may not be perfect, but it's at least NFL average across the board. I won't beat him up for being bad in bad situations on a bad team. But a 4th year QB has to be able to control the offense and make players/coaches right. The team looks good enough on paper to show what he can do now.   
    • Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.
