What a Game

Totally cool game to see live. I had field level tickets at about the 10-15 yard line or so, on the Panther sideline where Rosario made the winning catch. To my left was a row of Panther fans, and I lost my voice screaming. The looks on all the Charger fan faces was priceless as we left. Shock.

Jake I thought was average for most of the game. Not nearly as bad as Collin indicated, he showed some good touch in the first half to move the chains on several throws. He did miss Moose on a bad overthrow where he was wide open, and was a little behind him on a red zone opportunity. And the dump down with 26 seconds left was freaking stupid. I think that may be more Delhomme though. He has stated he hates taking the timeouts in the two minute drill, likes getting the defense scrambling. But it worked out. That was a great leaping catch.


Fans were cool. No problems. Parking is awful, and there are no real directions to the overflow. Just follow the crowd. But I made shrimp on the engine and they were perfect once we got out.

After the game some Charger fans were hanging out and we split some beers in the no alcholol/tailgating parking lot, where we drank and tailgated until the rent a cop told us to chug it. Smelled like they had been smoking some pot as well.

All together a great game.

 

I support this post.

Glad you had a good time, awesome stuff.


Also for lack of a better place to put it, thanks to the Chargers for kicking it short. I have no idea why teams kick to our linemen so much, but they're ready and they give us good field position, so keep that up. It easily gave us ten yards we wouldn't have.

And Delhomme was more accurate than Kalil on that last drive, who had high snaps on a number of balls including the game winner.

 

We ran the ball well against a good run defense, which was the best part of this game. Several Charger fans commented on how physical our line was. Stewart ran well and hard, but Williams really seems to have a good feel in this scheme for the cutback lanes.

It's good to see us run on the road against a good D.

Saw Wharton got carted off, then back on. Any word?

 

shrimp on the engine?


really?

 

postgame from Gantt said they were both feeling OK and on their own power. Was really good to see otah get back in the game, Wharton didn't return. Tests from both tonight released tomorrow, but I don't think it's anything catastrophic.

 

You take some shrimp. Olive oil, lime juice, salt, pepper, old bay, some bay leaves or other favorite combonation of marinade and spices. Wrap it in aluminium foil three times. Let marinate overnight. Put it on your engine, drive for 2 hours. I had a little longer drive, so I pulled over in Chino Hills and put the shrimp on.

 

It doesnt fall off? ? ?

Guess there's not wind under the hood, and not that much vibration.

Glad you had a good time, and fun with their fans. When I sat in the EZ in Clemson, there often were opposing fans who wanted to talk. Not personally to me, but just waving, and yelling/taunting with some of the louder Panther fans. All with good grace and in a friendly manner. It was fun to watch.

The opposing fans in the Bank don't seem to be as much fun.

 

Watching a football game in Charlotte is like watching a Golden Girls marathon.
