Go Panthers!!!

[lt1fire]

No panthers love here??
I guess since about 4/5ths of the club is made up of transplants that everyone would already have a "team"

I'll be the first to admit that the Pats are my number one team but I do support and follow the panthers closely and couldn't be happier for them this season.

I honestly don't think the Broncos have a chance. The Pats defense isn't as good as the Panthers and they gave Peyton a ton of trouble. The panthers defense is going to run all over them.

On the other side Cam hasn't had it as tough all season against that Broncos defense (Really the Broncos defense as a whole should be the MVP.... I can't recall another team that made it this far on pure defense alone) But just as the Pats did I think that they will still be able to move the ball fairly well and put up more points than Peyton can against their defense.

I think Panthers by 10.

The Dab will be had today



(oh and PS the panthers will actually win just on the strength of Greg Olsens beard alone)

The Patriots??? Why not the Chargers, Rams, 49er's, or Raiders? California has an NFL team for every manner of Californian!

I've been fortunate to go to games through friends and work over the years, but am not much of a sports guy.

I've spent several Sundays this season wrenching in the garage with the game on. I really like those guys. One Sunday, my oldest daughter asked if we could watch a Panthers' game together, the first time she's ever made this type of request. Neesless to say, it's been a fun and memorable season.

Egg hand ball is not my thing. The real Football, now thats a different story.

I believe it was W that said, "you're either with us, or you're against us."
If you're a true 'Mercan. You're a Patriot. Everyone else is ISIS or a communist.
That said, GO PANTHERS!!!

Maybe @77cruiser will post up in the days following the game to give us his firsthand account of what it was like to be there in person.

We have followed the Panthers since we lived in Savannah and they were new to the league with Jacksonville.

We are die-hard Chiefs fans, so I didn't want to be that bandwagon guy, but the Panthers are our NFC team

Of course, Denver is our natural enemy . . .

It is also pretty easy to say "Go Cats!!" as a Kansas State Wildcat Alum and fan

Its easy to love this team, too because it is full of good people like Thomas Davis and Michael Oher and Cam and others.

Go Cats!!

Damn i'm tired of telling this story... been asked this question almost as much as I get asked if I play basketball.

I'm 100% loyal to my teams. Dodgers, Lakers, Kings, Everton, English national Rugy and Football teams....... errr used to be Rams. When the rams left LA.... F- them..... they can burn for all I care

So suddenly I was without a football team..... going to the raiders wasn't happening, they were leaving also.

Also not sure how much time you spent in Cali, but we all hate each others teams with a passion (I used to literally burn Giants T-shirts in my back yard once a year with friends (other cali teams would find there way in there if we could find them at the thrift store.... only reason we would ever root for another Cali team would be if they were the only dog left in the fight (just so the trophy would at least be coming back to the state) and we would have to be drunk or feeling very charitable at the same time.

I also wasn't one to just pick up a team without a reason so it seemed I wouldn't really have a team to root for. After 4 years that kind of got old so when the rams came on strong in 99/00 I said I would be a fan of the team that knocked them out of the playoffs or beat them in the superbowl. Well they won that year.... and I guess a good thing since I really didn't want to be a Titans fan (but I would have and would have been loyal to them). So in 01/02 I said the same thing low and behold the Pats beat them that year and one of my best friends at the time was a die hard pats fan so it made the transition easy and i've been a die hard Pats fan ever since.

I didn't choose them, they chose me by beating a team I hate.


Rams are back in LA..... so what they can still burn for all I care.


So now that i've answered that question. Go Panthers

 

[mtweller]

Go CATS!! Born and raised in NC and a fan since day 1 the Panthers took the field. Admittedly, I'm a college athletics fan by and large, but always pull for the Panthers and watch them whenever I can.

my AHL team getting in on the action

 

[izzyandsue]

Man, I saw better officiating in "The Longest Yard"

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Go Panthers!

 

[lt1fire]

ahhhh Fxxx

 

[weejub]

F The Broncos . . .

 

[JohnVee]

Glad I didn't go to the game now.

 

[David70FJ40]

The officiating was questionable on several occasions but the Panthers simply weren't ready for the Broncos. They looked like a JV team.

 

[izzyandsue]

Well, at least now I know what Beyonce looks like, and don't know what the hype is all about. Still don't know who the other "justinbeiber" guy was or the midget in the black pajamas. Better music in the commercials.

 

[AndrewHadji]

#gotpounded......

Yes beyonce almost buster her ass during the show. was quite the funny.

 

[David70FJ40]

Flipped the channel to something more worthwhile. Didn't want to see all the gyrating or listen to their brand of music. I must be an old guy.
