People happy about us facing a depleted Giants team.

Yea, they aren't exactly depleted. They're missing their best receiver (which admittedly is not a small deal) but other than him no one of any really impact is sitting out. You could make an argument about their "starting" RB, Bradshaw, but they drafted a guy in the 1st I think they want to be their #1 anyway. Bradshaw's not bad but there's a reason they were last in rushing last year..and I wouldn't put it all on their O-line...

I'm not happy about anyone having injuries. Even with them banged up it will still be a close one I think.

With that said though. Last year with the injuries we had, you're dreaming if you think any other teams or fans cared about facing us full strength or not. I know a lot of people get caught up in that for some reason, I think it's just a ego thing. Sunday still comes regardless, and I don't know anyone who doesn't like winning.

Even if most of the players who are sitting out aren't stars, they aren't impacting anything on the sideline. You can't just hope that all the teams you face are going to be missing about half a dozen key players each game. I still maintain I'd rather face a completely healthy Giants team than the one we're going to face.

I would rather win, injuries happen. We have guys banged up too. We lost Beason and TD weeks one and two and our starting DT in training camp last year. fug respect, all that poo does not matter next week or the week after, only thing that is remembered is the W's.

and didn't we pretty much blame not getting to the playoffs on defensive injuries? That's the macrocosm of what's going to happen even if we win tomorrow night. Especially if it's remotely close.

"Welp the Giants didn't have Nicks or Bradshaw, a healthy Giants team probably wins this game hurrrrr"

Then it will be forgotten next week. You want respect, pull for the Steelers.

Who cares about respect? What we need are wins, like enough to get into the playoffs.

All you can play are the games you are presented with. Win them and then worry about stuff like respect in the offseason.

Now come on man. You know very well style points are the go to stat. You cannot quantify a victory without them.

Doesn't it help with the seeding for the playoffs? Or something important like that. You need all the style points you can get.

Nah, just win baby. Ugly, pretty, smooth, rough. They all add up the same.

If you think a win against the Giants in their current state is cool, then you leave me no choice other than to assume you're a Duke fan and you are ecstatic with their 2009 national championship season when they played absolutely no one in the tourney the whole way through. I'm sorry. You've brought this on yourself.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!

      You do know the biggest military base in the US is located just an hour from Raleigh in Fort Bragg right? Military families are family oriented. A hour drive to games is nothing compared to traveling 3 hours to Charlotte.   Cmon man there is nothing happening in Western Carolina other than Charlotte. I only go west for outdoor activities and some nature/mountain views.

      Okay, who is coming. And how hard is it going to be to get tickets? I’m currently living in Germany a couple hours north of Munich. Happy to help facilitate a cheaper experience for help getting tickets lol.
