Kind of odd seeing the animosity a lot of CAR fans seem to have toward our team. It's not just that board it's something I noticed on twitter and other places too. What's up with that?
There's absolutely no rivalry to speak of between the teams, we're not in the same conference, we don't play them more than once every 4 years in the regular season, and there's not much history to speak of other than one Super Bowl 12 years ago. I don't hate that team at all, actually I don't really think of the Panthers that much except when they're on our schedule, I don't go out of my way to watch Panthers games on TV unless it's the only game on, and I'm sure I'm not the only Pats fan who thinks that. I know Cam made a goofy joke about deflated footballs but I don't think there's any hate coming from their team toward ours either.
Very strange that a lot of that fanbase seems to hate our team almost as much as our real rivals....
