Most NFL media people are predicting Panthers/Falcons will be flexed to SNF

Nooooooooooooooooo

 

I'd rather it be played on a sandlot in China Grove with my grandmother streaming it live from her medical alert bracelet with a 1980's resolution reminiscent of those days trying to watch skinovision through the scramble.

Why would the networks want to play two teams with losing records...

 

THAT'S WHY, DUH!

 

It's more intriguing. Would you freaking conservatives quit thinking everything comes down to who is more "deserving."

 

Carolina @ Atlanta is much more interesting. It's an elimination game and it's BEWILDERING to most people that either should even be playing for a spot.

 

Of course any smart network would want that game in primetime. Way more to talk about, and a better way to end the season with "stakes + humor".

Yeah, 2 small market teams with losing records is a catch of a game. I am sure the networks are fighting to get our game.

However, if Fox gets the good game of GB/DET, NBC gets STUCK with us. It is a consolation prize, not a gift.

I am positive most fans would rather watch 2 teams fight it out for the #2 seed, than 2 losing teams fight for a Division crown.

The only fans that want to see atl/CAR are atl/CAR fans.

This is what people don't get.

NBC doesn't just take whatever game they want. No way Fox gives up GB.

 

People get that. It just doesn't matter as much as the fact that Car/Atl is way more interesting for a SUNDAY NIGHT game than the other two, which is more enjoyable to debate. 

 

Whether a network is "keeping a game" always comes up in flex situations.

"Fans" are irrelevant, Mr. Clueless.  

 

For a "national" game, Carolina @ Atlanta matters more because it will be for the final spot in the Playoffs, and for the other reasons I've already stated. 

 

Can you be objective? I can. Just because two teams have better records doesn't mean their game is more marketable. 

 

If Atlanta was already in and Carolina could make it, I'd be saying Green Bay and Detroit.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
