Seems weird. If it's flexed to Sunday Night then it will be an NBC national game for those stations that are just outside the Panthers designated viewing area (you know who you are) that have a choice as to which game to show... they'll likely choose to air the game that is most meaningful rather than some cupcake. And if they choose not to air Panthers and choose to air some other game: CALL THE STATION AND LET THEM KNOW. They can always change back

Of all the stat lines coming out of that MNF craziness, the highlight has to be Jalen being the only player to throw an INT and fumble the ball on the same play. Classic

Finally in a convo where we arent in the bottom tier

OMG, this chocolate cake is so moist and delicious

If he stays or if he leaves, do you think it'd be a Dan/Dave decision, or (let's hope not) would Tepper have a hand in that say-so? (Still on the hopeful "tepper has been staying out of football operations" train)

recall that they likely kept Evero when they brought on Canales partially because they thought the issue was the talent he had to work with vs his gameplan. Figured "let's see what he can do when he has some talent to play with" of course, doesn't explain our horrible defensive situation last year, but it's certainly turned around this season

The nfl.com Chance of Playoff Percentage stat has shifted up for us by a tiny tiny bit (like.. uh, 2 points??) to 19% with the Dallas loss tonight. So yay us, I guess?

The NFL and NFL Players Association have agreed to a new model for selecting playing surfaces in stadiums Fingers crossed we get a grass field back. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/47203298/nfl-union-agree-new-model-picking-playing-surfaces

fingers crossed that all the public signals we've seen suggest he truly is on the sidelines

I think we need Cowboys to lose, as they're closest to a wildcard situation that would impact us

It's a cheap money, no brainer decision Despite the inconsistencies, Bryce has shown he is able to QB a team that beat uber-strong contending teams. Despite all the negatives thrown around here like candy, he's gotten some on-field accolades in circumstances we never thought he would Worst case? We find our next bright shiny object, Dalton chooses to retire, and Bryce turns into a QB-whisperer of our own and morphs into a mentor/backup role before ascending into coaching (if that's what he wants to do)

Testaverde? (I'll see myself out)

playoffs would be nice winning record will also be nice (it was totally not expected this year, especially after being a laughing stock last season) winning record this year AND next year will be unprecedented in Panthers history

Isn't it fun for a change to be arguing about IF/WHEN playoff scenarios?

his name should be in contention according to stupid AI stuff, here's the criteria. Dave checks most, if not all, of the boxes Key criteria for the award Team improvement: A significant year-over-year improvement in wins is a common factor. Elite record: Achieving a winning record, often with 10 or more wins, is a strong indicator. Overcoming adversity: Success despite injuries or other significant challenges can make a coach a strong candidate. Narrative: The award is often narrative-driven, rewarding coaches who are seen as having a breakout season or turning around a struggling team. Lack of a star quarterback: Coaches are more likely to be credited if their quarterback is not perceived as an elite, MVP-caliber player.
