The stadium was pretty quiet yesterday

I think it should be a rite of passage for all Panthers fans to go to a September game and sit through it all.  After 3 hours, it is a test of endurance even during an entertaining game.  In a game like yesterday, it is torturous.  I did sit through it all and am sunburned, hoarse, and hungover today.  Thank God we won.

As a few posters said, so many people in the concourse.  I sat thru until early 4th qtr and then had to go down to cool off.  It was pretty unbearable.  Stadium ran out of gatorade at multiple locations.  A LOT were sitting on ground watching the TVs in the shade.  These september games are brutal.

Yeah gonna add to the echo chamber here. it was hot as balls, the offense wasnt doing poo, the Bills fans were obnoxious, and by the end of the game, we ere all in survive and win mode. I will say this though: i was impressed with the fans in attendance. it did get quieter in the 3rd quarter when half the stadium was in the concourse cooling off, but when everyone got back, it got loud again when Buffalo had the ball. our loudest drive, despite the heat and exhaustion and lack of momentum, was the Bills' last drive. the fans didnt give up. they kept making noise. we've come a long way since 2013 when i went to my first game of the modern era (attended one as a kid in the late 90's).

it definitely is. its like going to Lambeau when its 10 below for Packers fans. youre a true fan if you endure and fight till the end with the team. i will say this, i was impressed with that final Keep Pounding chant right before the Bills' last drive. one of the loudest ive heard since the NFCCG in 2015.

    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way. 
    • We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
