AFC South/NFC West and then Carolina/NE/Washington? All in a rebuild?
AGAIN... I swear the football gods hate me. I have a buddy with 50 yard line season seats in the Panther's stadium about 10 rows up from the visitor's bench. Could I get the football gods to allow us to PLAY in Carolina? F'n no. SOB.
Yeah. I’d love to see a game there too. They still do that cool Panther 3d thing at the beginning?
No clue. Not been down there since the last time the Bear's played in Charlotte in 2014 because there was no seating in 2020 due to Covid. Or, very limited, they lotteried the seats to season ticket holders to allow space between people for again, covid reasons. My buddy didn't get selected.
If we knew of the '24 schedule at the beginning of this season, I'd have said this was literally a walk-in-the-park level of difficulty. But none of those three I bolded will be easy. In fact and especially if we're going with a rookie QB, we'll be underdogs against all three of them, not to mention most of those other teams.
LOL, I might have pushed it a bit naming them, but TBH I thought they were playing much better football down the stretch once Murray appeared fully healthy, winning 3 out of their last 5. And if we do go next year completely revamped with a new coaching staff and rookie QB, I don't think it will be farfetched to have us cast as the udogs.
Hate you? How about me? I moved here in 2020 (Columbia, SC). They played the NFC and AFC South. I was pumped. I was going to hit all the Bears road games nearby. Charlotte for Panthers (90 min drive), ATL for Falcons (3 hour drive), and Jacksonville for Jags (4 hour drive).
This really confused me last year. The worst team in the league had to travel to KC. Then KC whined because they thought the bears would have a bigger fan base in Germany or wherever they were supposed to play and the league backed them up and made the worst team go there.
at least that makes sense. I know its divisions playing divisions so each team in divisions have the same competition and then three extra games, looks like we got Panthers, commanders and new england, while the packers got the Saints, Miami and Philly, while the lions, being division winners get Dallas, Tampa and Buffalo.
