Falcons come to town this week for a 1pm matchup tailgating starts at 6am with good times going all the way til kickoff. This is the week of the bike donation and we even got Santa confirmed to make a brief appearance despite his busy schedule. Please thank our sponsors this week Inimicus and 51/58 Poundin.

The food this week is from Ranucci's BBQ and Grill. www.ranuccis.com Please stop by his restaurant in Belmont and consider his restaurant for any of your catering needs. The menu at this time is still under construction so please check back later in the week for the full menu for this Sunday. The 'big rig' is showing up this week so lots of good food in store.

The Huddle has been fortunate to have generous sponsors every game to provide free food and non-alcoholic drinks to everyone that shows up. In return the people that partake leave a donation that, because of the sponsors, 100% goes towards a year end bike donation to Toys for Tots. We’re talking upwards of $20,000 and 600 bikes to date have been donated to the Marine Corps Reserve during this time.

Here's the usual info:

Where: We are located at the intersection of 3rd st. and Poplar. We are located in a large parking lot that borders 3rd, Poplar, and Church st. congregating at 3rd and poplar right beside the lower entrance to the lot. Look for the carolinahuddle.com banners, tents, and loud music. The lot is across 3rd street from Picasso's restaurant and bar.

What: Food, music, drinks (non-alcoholic) and friendly Panthers fans. If you drink alcohol you have to bring it yourself and provide your own cooler because its hard enough to keep our own drinks cold on hot days.

When: We’ll start at 6am this week. Maybe earlier. If you get there after 12:15 there's no guarantee any food will be left. Most of us are trying to get in the game as well so we can't stay back and cook for you, miss kickoff, if you get there late.

Who: Around 50 fans all somehow connected to this website.

How much: The parking lot is $25 to park there but you don’t have to park in the lot to tailgate with us. Many take the light rail for a few dollars and walk down or park a few blocks back for cheaper and just walk up.

When you show up and partake, please donate as much as you can to our cause. It’s a labor of love for us, but at the end of the day don’t discount what you saved by not bringing your grill, food, drinks, etc. and what it would cost you for a day of tailgating, shopping, and energy cooking. Remember 100% of your donation goes to charity. Hard to find many others that claim that nowadays.

Disclaimer: There will probably be loud music. The Huddle does not police adult behavior at tailgates so while kids have a blast at tailgates, we can’t be responsible for what they may see or hear during the time. Remember if you drink alcohol you’re responsible for bringing your own and keeping it cool.

Any other questions this is the thread to ask.

We have to get the Panthers back to dominating and this whole economy thing worked out. 50-60 bikes are great. But I remember a few yerars ago when we were able to give 3X that many.

These are tough economic times and it is still a testament to the Huddle Members to continue to support this great cause.

Because of the generosity of this group, 50-60 kids will wake up Christmas morning to a nice surprise.

Sorry Boo...if I paint my body blue you won't be able to see it underneath my #80 Falcons jersey anyway. Only thing that might be blue is my balls if things don't go well the night before. I'll be happy to display them if that is the case.

Just a heads up I'm going to talk poo to you the entire time.

If Bo is there, well then....its going to get ugly. Especially if Jello shots are involved again.

I will even let you team up on me with Madhatter and Blue Wig Chris (Alvarez) to make it even. :D

I don't think you realize what you are getting yourself into. You are going to bring out the Jersey in me.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
