It’s a gorgeous fall day here in Charlotte, a good day for a home game against the Falcons, our big NFC South rival. The Falcons have the edge in games versus the ‘Cats, with a 16-10 record against them, but the Panthers are hungry for a win after being embarassed by the Vikings last week.
CNN was on the scene today for Barry Oh!’s Charlotte, NC rally, and has a photo posted showing a huge crowd. So glad I didn’t go to this one. The first one was quite enough.
The 2-0 Panthers hope to continue their winning streak today as they visit the 0-2 Minnesota Vikings, who are hungry for a win. WR Steve Smith will be back in action after serving a 2 game suspension for a nasty pre-season altercation with cornerback Ken Lucas in which Smith broke Lucas’ nose. Cutie Vikings QB Gus Frerotte will take over starting duties over Tarvaris Jackson for the rest of the year.
Today, the woman who Barry Oh! angrily declared off limits for criticism a couple of months ago was in Charlotte for a women’s “roundtable” that was similar to the “townhall meeting” she did back in the spring in the neighboring small town of Harrisburg. Local ABC news affiliate WSOCtv reports:
The game’s already in progress on Fox. Hasn’t started off so great for the Cats as the Bears blocked a Panthers punt and run it in for an early TD, making the score at this point 7-0. WR Steve Smith is serving the final game of his two game suspension, so today will be another tough day for the 1-0 Panthers but we can win it if we can avoid making anymore stupid mistakes.
