“The back people were like, ‘can I take your picture?’ And I was like yeah”. It’s just more of a respect to the stadium. The Packers opened the game in man coverage and Newton made them pay right away by finding huge holes to run through for big gains.
“It doesn’t concern me”, McCarthy said.
Rivera said the issue is a “side story” and that it is “being taken care of”. “That’s where we are”.
News of the incident blew up on the Internet Sunday, especially after the Fayetteville Observer reported that Dobs had reported the incident to stadium security as a theft and later demanded to get the banner back.
Despite the overblown, off-field banner shenanigans, Newton deserves to be in the discussion for best non-Brady quarterback in the National Football League for his play in 2015. Dobs original sign is destroyed. It turns out when he did it on Sunday, it had a little more meaning than it typically might. In fact, they even brought along their $500 banner representing their allegiance to the Packers from across the country.
“It’s not about money”.
Dobs and his family was holding the Packers banner – with a green map of North Carolina, the Green Bay logo and the words “North Carolina Cheesehead – before the start of Sunday’s Green Bay-Carolina game in Charlotte”.
“I followed all the rules”.
“One of the fellow veterans here in Fayetteville, offered to make me a new banner”.
The Carolina Panthers have proven to be the best team in the NFC, but they still aren’t being treated as the NFC favorite to reach the Super Bowl.
The Panthers actually have a specific stadium policy that bans banners for opposing teams, but allows handheld signs.
For the first time since the San Diego game the Packers had the lead at 7-3.
The National Football League said Newton will not face any discipline.
Newton has been forced to spread the ball around.
A Panthers tailgating group, the 652 Gang, has also offered to replace the banner with the help of one of its corporate sponsors, Steele Creek Printing & Design Inc.
