Fair Weather Fans Beware- Rain Expected at Gametime

I expect to be there wearing my Panther poncho which I got last year at the Jacksonville game during halftime. The forecast is for steady rain and occasional thundershowers all night. Seems expectations and attendance at camp has been up but attendance for a preseason game it usually down even in good weather. It also seems as if the lower bowl is deserted given everyone scurries inside when it rains. i wonder how many folks will show up to get a look at the 2012 edition of the Panthers.

On a more important note, do you think the rain will affect our passing game or the defense tonight?? Will we run it more or not?? You know Houston is going to try and pound it and I can't believe we will be any different. Will we play loose zone given the poor footing or turn it loose and blitz given the difficulty throwing down field. It should definitely slow down our wide open offense.

I expect to be there wearing my Panther poncho which I got last year at the Jacksonville game during halftime. I wonder if attendance for a preseason game will be way down given the forecast for rain and thundershowers. Seems expectations and attendance at camp has been up but nothing stops that like bad weather.

A lot QBs don't seem to be as overly bothered by a light rain as some in the past suggest.

It isn't a real game so unless it is a medium to heavy rain....I expect us to pass a fair amount.

Yeah I remember the 40% rain chance and possible thundershower forecast for the Jacksonville game last year.

Just sayin.................................

I'll be in my dry, comfy recliner with my 10.00 beer and brats.

And I will be out there yelling and screaming in the rain so that you get to watch a real game atmosphere on the television in your living room. You can thank me later.........................................

      Umm yeah. When did he get it done at the right time? I seem to remember a 4-6 finish and needing Atlanta to win our way into the playoffs but whatever.

      I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.

      summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "
