Bad weather would be a HUGE advantage this weekend.

Not only does this years team have a lot of practice with that as we played in a bunch of bad weather games, but it would take away any advantages the Cards have with their WRs vs our DBs

Bring on the snow and/or rain, please......

Welcome to the Carolina's in January.

Sometimes this happens in late Nov. through December. Always January and February. Cold wet icy soil. Makes for some old school football, and speed teams will suffer. This is big boy football. Leave your track spikes at home.

Conditions that fluctuate between 30 to 40 degrees in snow/rain conditions is what causes the soft turf. The lower layer of soil tends to stay frozen while the upper layer thaws causing the grass to give in the thawed layer and not the frozen layer below. This also leads to the top layer of soil becoming more saturated with water. Then if the temperatures drop a few degrees into freezing the upper layer of soil becomes slick and icy.

I do not think any other team in the league is in an area that has turf conditions like the Carolinas in the winter (maybe Tennessee). The Panthers practice outside on a field with those conditions.

Home field advantage!

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Fair enough. I never once said not supporting Tepper makes you a bad fan by the way. I can't stand the guy myself. You on the other hand don't like anything about the team. You can't stand the owner or the coach because his religion doesn't fall in line with how you feel it should so I'm curious why you are even a fan at this point? Hell, you like nothing about the team, why even be a fan these days?  We can go backs and forth about how many games we have been to and measure dicks if you want or but it doesn't matter. I've been to my fair share over the years. Some as a fan and some work related but I bet you have been to more due to my weekends being filled with some work I do at the collegiate level so I probably only average maybe 2-3 games per year tops. You have me beat there im sure. You are probably very correct on us not being the same in anything at all I am quite sure of that. If I'm a "mark" (as you put it) for not liking Tepper and not caring about Canales religion or his political beliefs or letting it have weight on whether or not I like the team then call me a "mark" but you're still a whiny bitch either way.  When you hate everything about leadership from their personalities to their religious beliefs all the way to who they vote for at that point why even be a fan? I can side with you judging by your beliefs that you have made apparent, if you owned and coached the team, I sure as hell would find a new one to support but as you said we are different. Enjoy Norway, it is a beautiful country. Visited last year myself and absolutely loved it.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      The playing well part, depends on what happens going forward. It could have been a tease that will dig our hole deeper.  In the small picture of one game, probably his best game. Green Bay wasn't as great as people think it was. More like one good quarter. Followed by two games of exactly nothing.

      Oh, it was handled horrifically.  Ego got in the way of a plan.  I'm just saying, that he actually probably stumbled into the better outcome/plan.
