NBC won the rights to Sunday Night Football back in 2006. That was also the first year since the Panthers won their last playoff game. We all know about the 2 playoff losses, but we've been putrid on the NFL's biggest weekly showcase being blown out by the Cowboys, Saints, and Steelers in that time. We also lost homefield advantage in 2008 to the Giants.

This is the #1 reason why the national media doesn't respect us. They don't pay attention to us on Sunday afternoons. They DO pay attention to us when we get a chance to showcase ourselves and they see us fall in the dirty mop bucket every single time.

And yes we do play a little better on Monday Night Football, but that's now the B level cable NFL showcase unlike Sunday Night Football, the highest rated weekly show on TV.

Yea, I had a similar thought last night.  It occurred to me that this team isn't ready for the big time.  It's a very good football team with lots of top tier talent, but something about the psychology of the national spotlight seems to unnerve them.  Maybe it's all coincidental that we tend to poo the bed on Sunday night and playoffs, or maybe they for whatever reason just aren't ready to play with the big boys yet.  I dunno, I dismissed the thought as being over-analytical.

I told a buddy this yesterday.

 

 

"I'm a little worried the lights may be a little too bright for the Panthers tonight".

 

 

My exact words.

 

We are still dealing with a young coach, fan base, and QB.

 

We are dealing with a cast of average WR's, that will only get better.

 

We are dealing with a bad OL, and an even worse OC.

 

These things will happen.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
