I am thankful for the Huddle

I got on a plane headed to Saudi Arabia the day after it was announced that Charlotte would be awarded an NFL franchise. I talked to MSG Winn about how cool it was going to be the whole way to Shannon, Ireland. I went to Carolina's first pre-season game down in Clemson against Denver and have pics to prove it. I am originally from the great state of Georgia and used to be the biggest Falcon fan you could find, but once we got a team, I have been all in since then.

I love the Black and Blue.

This year has blown but as I look forward to tomorrow's feast at my Mom's house, I am actually thankful that I found you guys here at the Huddle. Wish I would have joined or looked for a message board earlier but being 45 years old, I am kind of a tech idiot.

I am thankful for my health, my wife, my son, my job, my family, the wife's tittaes I get to enjoy occasionally, Kuechly, Cam, Stewart, Alexander, CJ, Dwan, TD, Smitty, Kraken, et al.

I am in some weird way thankful for the Huddle. You guys are extremely dysfunctional but I keep coming back. You guys make being a Panthers fan bearable, even when things suck.

So, Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

Don't know why you did it, but thanks Zod for this site.

After the tryptophan wears off I will be back tomorrow nite.

Hope all of you have a great Thanksgiving.

How could I not like someone who knows where Azusa is? Wish I would have met you sooner.

Happy Thanksgiving Wood.

Azusa represent!

I might need to stay on your couch one of these days if I make it to a game in Charlotte, when the panthers are good again...

I'm still pretty new here and also pretty young here compared to all you vets lol but im thankful I can come here and talk real football with people who are just as or even more dedicated fans as i am on my downtime since all my buds IRL are biased NY jets/giants or eagles fans lol. And like you said even when the panthers are at their lowest and i become irrational and borderline insane Im thankful I can come here to know I'm not the only one who feels the same way! And I'm thankful to have learned so much more about the panthers and football in general ever since I registered here! I'm also thankful for all the hilarious gif bombs as well as anyone who has ever liked/pie'd my posts. Happy thanksgiving huddlers!

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
