International Panthers Fans

Anyone from outside the US here except me? Where are you from. How did you become a Panthers fan? How do you follow our games?

I am german and started loving the Panthers when I had my first stay in the US back in 1996. I was 17 and lived with friends of the family in the Western Carolinas for six months. After that stay I came back several times, some times short, some times longer. 1996 was a great season as we all know.

I watch every game online on Gamepass. Great tool though. The 1pm games are perfect, it is 7pm in Germany, the kid is in bed and the wife looks "Tatort" (most times I watch Tatort and the game simultaniously). The 4.15 games are a little harder, have to stay up until 1am until it finishes. SNF, MNF and TNF are tough, but I get up at 2am no matter what. In addition I have ESPN America, but these suckers mostly cover other teams.

In addition, I like to travel to the US and attend games live. My record is 2-2, great comeback win at home against the Cards a few years ago, then a tough loss in the opener at Met Life Stadium in 2010 against the Gmen, then a win this year at home against the Aints, then the game I want to erase from memory (TNF against the Gmen).

Cheers

Yeah, Football is getting bigger in England, also thanks to Godell and his London policy. But he leaves out us guys in Germany and the Netherlands, where most NFLE teams were located back then. Football in Germany is unbelievable small, a lot smaller than soccer in the US. But the funny thing is that millions of germans are watching the SB, without having any idea what is going on. They are staying up till 3 in the morning. But that doesn´t help much.

Ich vermisse Deutschland. Letzten Sommer habe ich studierte in Heidelberg für sechs Wochen. Wo in Deutschland lebst du?

Go Panthers!

200 miles south of Heidelberg, right in the border to Switzerland and France. Good german skill you are showing there! Respect!

Canadian Panther fan, and I know there's a bunch of us in Canada because I see a fair amount of Panther gear / jerseys here. I became a fan during the 2003-2004 season when they were making their run as the Cardiac Cats. Chris Berman and the whole ''Daylight come and me wanna Delhomme'' sealed it for me.

Hi

I'm from Bristol England

Got hooked on football when Channel 4 started showing games in 1983 watching Riggins & the Redskins

Started following Raiders after visiting L A but they went back to Oakland & I watched football when i could without following any particular team.

Decided to follow the Panthers the day the franchise was announced and watch streams if i can or follow

play by play on NFL

Been to a couple of games at wembley but would rather follow the Panther games.

Don't post on here much , but visit most days for the local gossip and opinions.

I watched the Eagles/Patriots superbowl at an Irish pub in Nuremberg. I was surprised how much they got into the game.

They even stood for our national anthem.

    • On the surface all variables to be considered aside obviously I would love to have him. Situationally though this compares to when we acquired Stephon Gilmore. Ramsey will be 31 this fall and Gilmore was 31 when we acquired him. Ultimately it was a moot point because we weren't ready to compete for anything of note and Gilmore went elsewhere. Ultimately I see this playing out the same. As such I cannot envision any scenario where he does not go to a legit playoff contender.
    • Below average? Seriously?? That is wild AF My man we ain't watching the same game... And I'm hard-pressed to believe you're watching the same film coaches are either if that is the take you honestly believe... I've been to almost every home game at BOA over the past 20 years... I've seen a lot of bad QB play over the past 7 years. Anybody that wasn't truly impressed by what Bryce did what the cast-offs he had to work with at the end of last year is delusional. His top 3 weapons were a 34 undrafted guy, a 7th round journeyman, and an UDFA rookie... seriously, what are we doing here??!! Some of these takes are beyond outlandish... You admitted yourself you're comparing Bryce to a guy you didn't even watch but are cherry picking stats for... So go back to your eyeballs and make it simple... how much NFL football have you watched my man?? Bc to me and my eyeball test, Bryce blew it out of the effing water down the stretch. What QBs are you watching playing so much better than him that you feel confident in saying "below average?" If you watched that and came away with anything else, we ain't watching the same thing... But beyond the eyeball test, every advanced metric in the book backs it up also... so again, what are you seeing that no one else is?? You think just anybody is going out there and dueling with Mahomes & Hurts with an almost comical inferior supporting cast and doing that? Whatever, to each their own, but it is wild to pull for a team where so many people feel compelled to crap on your QB after he just pulled maybe the greatest in-season turn around in league history and was playing by any eyeball test (for anyone that has watched an appreciable amount of NFL football) or even the advanced metrics for that matter.  
    • You don't talk about TMac's QB that way!
