fug those people. My flight back from Denver to wilmington for tomorrow was canceled due to a Charlotte connection. No other flights are available for transfer until Sunday anywhere in NC or SC so I bought a new fuging ticket to Atlanta For tomorrow morning and a buddy who happens to be coming up from Miami is going to pick me up and drive me the rest of the way to wilmington so I can get my car. Then immediately changing out my bag for fresh clothes and driving to Charlotte.

 

I don't give a fug if I had to hitchhike from Denver to Wilmington I'm not fuging missing this game.

Want to preface this thread by saying that I'm not being a chicken little. I have full faith and confidence in our team to overcome the elements. Anyway...

So the Cardinals aren't in town yet (RE: thread) and perhaps the storm may interfere with their travel plans. It's also likely that the soggy turf may also affect them during the game in the Panthers favor.

However, as ESPN reported, Rivera claims it was lack of preparation that kept the team from playing well against the Falcons in Atlanta. With this winter storm and possible changes to the practice schedule, could this make the Panthers less prepared than they need to be?

My thoughts are that the disadvantages to each team will cancel out. But it caught my eye that preparation, not complacency, was the issue in ATL. And now we may be faced with a similar situation. 

What are your thoughts y'all? Is the winter storm a good, neutral, or bad thing for the Panthers?

Honestly I think it was the obj fiasco that caused the team to lose focus..

Yes. It's not turf. But it's also always immaculate. They retract that field in the event of rain and such (which they don't get much of in the desert). The Cardinals never have to play on a soggy field in their home stadium.

If it does become wet and soggy or rains/snow I give the edge to the panthers due to the fact they have had good success during bad weather games.. notably during the monsoon game vs saints.

I hope the organization has the fore thought to take special note of the player's families needs in this storm.  If the players are worried about loved ones it could be a huge distraction.  Advantage Cards.  Their families are not having to deal with this.

it could actually substantially affect the crowd noise if a bunch of losers decide not to make the trip to charlotte because they're worried about roads.

Yeah, screw those people and their concern about the safety of their family.  How dare they...

Dang man. I'm sorry to hear that. :/ I hope you can find a way around it.

Just fly to Atlanta and take the Amtrak the rest of the way. Leaves here at 8pm and gets in to Charlotte at 1. The only things that stop those trains are derailments or hurricanes.

Im in Gastonia (30 mins from Charlotte) and we have about an inch or two of snow here. Sleet mix earlier for nearly a full hour before the snow hit Going to have another 24 hours of sleet and snow with rain at the least. The field is going to be poo. Tolbert and Stew are going to feast. Have fun running deep routes on roller skates, Cards.
