The Worst Game Preview By NFL.COM Of All Time (UPDATED)

Recommended Posts

More than likely the Panthers organization complained about the tone at least of the 1st video & the "organization" comment. And the NFL has tremendous respect for Jerry Richardson so it wouldn't surprise me if they mandated the change. Besides the fans' complaints. I don't find it sad that the change happened. It's like dropping certain "reality" shows because the sponsors complained. 

And the Panthers and us fans have every reason to "complain". What a piss poor video. These guys are working as "professionals" for literally the top organization in sports in the entire world, and they put out stuff like that calling an organization pathetic and turning a weekly preview into a "lets just bash everything and make not one positive comment".

I felt like I was watching a youtube video done by a fan of an opposing team. It was THAT bad

I agree that under Fox and Hurney we were perpetually mediocre. Those two don't have the ability to take a team beyond that.

DG however has changed the culture and expectations. he is loading the roster with talent, and shown ability to run a first rate organization.

RR is a defensive minded coach. he's not going to have a high flying offense, but he has a punishing defense, and his players play hard for him.

Mediocre is a thing of the past. we won two division championships on years that we were getting out of cap hell and building the roster. imagine how good we'll be once we're in cruise control mode.

Ron Rivera era as of today is 3 losing records in 4 years. 

I mean you can't really bash the Fox era and pimp this one as something better yet.   Fox's first 4 years here were significantly better.  By a large margin.

I don't necessarily buy that the organization complained. Gettleman and Rivera are generally not that concerned about media coverage.

Honestly, I just figure Rosenthal was embarrassed by how the first video came out and asked to redo it.

Notice also he changed partners from Chris Wesseling to Dan Hanzus.

Greg loves Cam. And he realizes after the fact that he came off wrong and corrected his mistake. Wesseling is a tool.

everyone's so offended these days

It wasn't about being offended.  These guys work for the NFL and basically just crapped all over an organization that has won their division twice in a row.  I can't imagine that is what they are being tasked to do by the NFL.  I just found the whole tone strange especially considering there wasn't even a "preview" to be found in the video.

It's gonna be a sad, sad day for ESPN when Carolina lays an ass whipping on their lover boy Andrew Luck. And it'll be televised nationally on their network! I'll be there laughing and pointing. Can't wait. 

Ever seen the movie "The Burbs" with Tom Hanks? Remember Hans Klopek?

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
