Who was your Team before 1995

I have been a Steelers fan since 1976, the first year I paid earnest attention to the NFL. I only put them down when they play the Panthers.

I went to school at UGA, and I can honestly say that the Falcons weren't even as popular as the Georgia Bulldogs in Athens or Atlanta(and probably still aren't, if you get real about it).

The only NFL team that was really on the map here in NC before the Panthers were the Skins. Other teams that may have gotten honorable mentions were the Steelers and the Cowboys. This was Skins country, pure and simple. To suggest otherwise is indicative of a lack of knowledge about North Carolina, or delusional. Falcons were never, ever, on the radar.

I was a Packers fan for 30 years until the Panthers first season in 1995. My 2nd favorite team was the Baltimore Colts as a kid. Most people I knew were either Redskins, Cowboys, or Steelers fans with a few Dolphin and Raider fans thrown in. I grew up in Winston-Salem and have yet to meet someone who was from here who was a fan of the Falcons...

I lived in Atlanta part for part of last year and I can tell you that the Falcons have nowhere near the fans the Dawgs have in ATL.

I was talking to a buddy of mine about going to the Panthers game and asked how long it took to get to the dome from where we lived and he said 30 minutes. I asked would it being game day make it a lot longer and he said it would take less time on gameday cause no natives go and there would be no normal weekday traffic.

This is just a falcon fan trying to prove this stupid opinion they have on AFMB that most Panther fans were Falcon fans first. Get this I've lived in charlotte for 30 years I don't know one Falcon fan. This was the Redskin market we saw nothing but NFCE games. Only NFCW games were when the 49ers were playing. The Falcon sucked we didn't watch your games. I still don't know any falcon fans here. When you don't put 2 back too back winning season together in 40-50 years you don't get much press. I knew more about Prime Time then I did the Falcons. He was bigger star then the team.
The majority of falcant fans living in Charlotte the last few years were thugs that liked m vick.If vick lands on an NFL team,allthe thugs will start wearing his jersey again,whatever team he lands with!
