Charlotte...Not a football city?

Buffalo struggles to sell out, to gain interest and investment for a new stadium, and is constantly threatened with relocation away from Western NY, only saved by a clause in its lease.

All people connected with the club say is "There are cities around that aren't football cities but keep their franchise".

Improve your form and the city may become more football-friendly. And keep Trump and his circus away.

He did say "when they lose". I wouldn't go as far as saying we aren't a football city, but it's pretty pathetic at BoA when the Panthers suck

But still better than Tampa and Jacksonville (who ironically stated that they were such a better football city than us on inception).

Half of all residents of Buffalo and Cleveland from Joe's day are here now anyway.

Let's frame this. Joe DeLamielleure lives in Charlotte. He listens to WFNZ and sometimes calls in. He's depressed and suffering from CTE.

 

He lives here, he knows about the transplants and fickle fans. He's probably witnessed our crowd first hand. And he's listened to the morons that call in to WFNZ. Compared to Bills fans, he might be right. The team does take a hit when they don't play well. Fans do stick to the Cowboys, Steelers, and Redskins instead of support the local team. To me he is part right. It's not fair to the real fans. We probably have more real fans than the Buffalo Bills, but we also have more fair weather fans than the Bills.

 

Another thing, we have a rich College Basketball tradition here along with NASCAR and Golf. What does Buffalo have? What does Cleveland have?  Football is it.

Oh without question. We still have quite a ways to go though.

It's well known that Joe DeLamielleure is an utter prick.

I remember hearing him on a radio broadcast in Ohio in 02 when he said the Browns (yes, the Browns) would beat us by 40 points.

He always sounds pretty damned cool when hes been a guest in local radio. Seemed he had adopted the Panthers.....are you sure?

random, but an interesting point I'm going to hijack here..  if half of the residents of Charlotte (let's include Raleigh, same thing occurs there too) are transplants..  and really, I come across a much higher ratio day to day on a smaller scale... then who exactly are yankees complaining about that can't drive in the snow down here?

 

it is in fact these same people...

He lived in Charlotte for a while. I heard he moved. My buddy's fam lived in Medearis off of Sardis Rd and Joe lived in that area. His adopted asian son would come and try to sell his parents kitchen knives. I've never met the guy but I heard he can kinda be a jerk. Loudest guy in the room sorta thing.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      Film Room Playlist _ NFL Pro — Mozilla Firefox 2024-11-25 10-20-11.mp4 🎯🎯🎯 There were a couple of "fans" yesterday saying that this wasn't a helmet-to-helmet shot... 👀 Looks like based on where Moore was and where the play ended, he'd have gotten maybe just a yard or two more. Chuba was downed at the KC 16 and Moore was on his way back to the QB, so the offense got what they could for the most part. After reviewing the all-22, Bryce made the right call here. Tremble was the hot and KC sent both LBs. He gets it out with a clear pocket but it's quickly collapsing. If there was a little more time it looked like AT came free at the end but whether or not Bryce would've been upright still is another story. Smart move to get the completion and keep the field goal in play to stay alive. George Karlaftis is about to get himself a big ole hug and Bryce heaves it to where David Moore is going. Trent McDuffie slipped just a step or two before this shot, but we can see the clear DPI here as he's wrapped around David Moore before knocking him over as the ball gets there.

      I’m taking a TE early day 3 Ian Thomas and Tremble are FA.  We should have no desire to bring them back.   There’s more than enough film of ball bouncing off their hands or facemask.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      Daniel Jones sometimes would sling it for 300 or 400 yards.  That's my stance.  We know what Bryce is.  If you consistently play any QB at this level, they largely are going to end up w/ some good days/games.  last time Mahomes was at BOA, Teddy Bridgwater threw for 300+ yards and a couple TDs and the Matt Rhule Panthers almost took him down.  We know what Bryce is.  Now we got people predictably falling into a predictable trap.
