New Years Resolutions for Panthers Fans

Ah yes, in rolls the New Year. Before you pop open the champagne and do something you will probably regret the next morning.... here are a few New Years Resolution suggestions to all Panthers fans everywhere. 

Every new wide receiver is not a perennial all-pro

Last season is was Hill. This season it is Norwood. These guys are projects. They have the opportunity to earn jerseys throughout the week. If they don't, don't blame the coaches. 

Stop the media whining

Every day I wake to see more and more complaints about the disrespect the Carolina Panthers get in the national media. Stop whining... and embrace it. The underdog role is something the Panthers have embraced over the years.... so should you. 

Welcome bandwagon fans

You want a Bank of America Stadium full of Panthers fans on Sundays? Well, you are going to have to welcome new fans. Get over yourself and your need to put others down because you have been a fan longer. 
 

For all that is holy, please shut your traps while on offense

It is a shame that this still needs addressed. I have even had push back on social media from people who disagree with me. "The team gets energy from us yelling while they are on offense". No, they do not. They get energy from not having to yell play calls and adjustments at the top of their lungs. They get energy from not having to call a time out or walk back five yards from a false start. 

Save your lungs for when the Panthers defense takes the field. End of discussion.

YES! I had to get over this one myself. Not really putting anyone down, but because I've been a fan for so long. Sadly, it's the bandwagoners that put the franchise over the top. There's always going to be a handful of us true fans, but the thousands that join us because they're doing well are the ones that will push it over.

A fan is a fan, no matter where they came from.

If they start as a bandwagon fan, it's our job (and the team's job) to convert them to more permanent status.

Truth - many of today's hard core Panthers fans started out as fans of other teams, peeked over at what was going on at BoA (or Ericsson) liked what they saw and decided to stick around.  More of this, please.

I agree. I guess pride plays a part in it when you're a long time fan versus the 14-0 fan. But you're right, a fan is a fan.

My arms do get tired of beating the backs of empty seats when we are on defense. I'd prefer all the seats be taken and everyone beat the back of their own seat!!!!

True - as someone who can't easily obtain tix via normal means, it's sad to hear about so many seats being avail. That said...

From what I understand, a stadium of people yelling (max decibel is 110-120db for a single human voice) will be louder than a stadium of seat bangers (a large drum designed for max loudness maxes at around 105db).  

As the BoA seats aren't designed to produce much sound when banged, it would appear that seat banging can only hurt your hand, damage the seat, and put your vocal output at a disadvantage vs if you were to only yell instead of yell+bang.

Well...., I know the defense always acknowledges the section I'm in. Cause it gets loud! But what's the matter with creating the sound of pounding drums at a BOA anyway? Its kind of our thing wouldn't you say?

Are people actually banging seatbacks with their hands or swinging the empty seat in front of them against the seatback?  I do the latter, and it certainly makes a ton more noise than banging the seat would.  It also doesn't hurt your hand, so no worries there.  I don't do this often because normally the seats in front of me are full, but sometimes I get the opportunity to do this late in the game when the stadium has emptied out some.  Of course, I'm also yelling as loud as I can when I do this.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
