Cowboys-Panthers will have the largest television audience of the NFL season

According to Barry Horn of Dallas News.

 

Like Jeremy said, this matchup is a dream scenario in terms of ratings (money). Romo is back and the Cowboys in contention for the NFC East.

 

Oh, and that other team? They happen to be 10-0. This preseason, many just hoped the Panthers would be relevant at this point. Not only are they relevant, they may be the best team in the league.

 

This season we have already seen arguably the biggest games in Carolina Panther regular season history. It looks like Thanksgiving's matchup may stake claim to that title once again.

 

Barry Horn goes on to talk about how big Romo coming back was to the pregame shows on Sunday:

Quote

As if anyone need be reminded just how valuable to the networks the Cowboys are, even on life support, Fox opened its pregame show with Tony Romo video. Eight minutes later, analyst Jay Glazier offered a Romo physical update and finally, it devoted five minutes, an eternity in the studio business, to Romo return talk.

Instead of talking Greg Hardy or Dez Bryant or any other off-field nonsense, the focus was on Romo's return from the broken collarbone after missing seven consecutive Cowboys losses.

This for a player in a game it was sending to only 11 percent of the country. That's not how things are usually done in the TV biz. The Washington Redskins-Panthers game, also a noon kickoff, was billed as going to 66 percent. Ordinarily that would mean lots of talk about Panthers quarterback Cam Newton or the job being done by coach Ron Rivera.

That Romo pre-game talk bookended with play-by-play voice Kevin Burkhardt's end-game reminder that "Tony Romo is back and so are wins for the Dallas Cowboys."

 

From everything I've read, Rivera has his crew laser-focused on this game. The blowout against the Skins was huge, as it gave a chance for players to rest after three quarters. Don't underestimate how big rest is when you have to play two NFL games in four days.

Please Jerry don't take the payout and have your boys lay down on Thanksgiving.... fight the good fight and let Roger know we can't just "gift" him a game for his buddy J. Jones

They look like the Gambino family hanging outside their social club in Manhattan

I'm thinking that, as soon as Richardson turned his back, Jones handed Goodell that duffel bag of cash to get Dallas to the playoffs.

Where were they all walking to, unless they were waiting for some sort of bus or transport?

That's a Manhattan street, presumably outside of NFL Headquarters on Park Ave.

Maybe, the fix was in, and Jerry and Roger were discussing it, and Jerry wanted no business with it? LOL

Ol' JR should put his football skills on display and run block both Jerrah and Gordell into traffic.

Old picture.  Denver owner not out in public anymore.

couple of takes;  in addition to the DC Area players theory that the "fix" was in for the game due to offensive name ... lol... I also heard the refs were on the take because they wanted an unbeaten Panther team facing off against their latest delusional opponent on Thanksgiving.

Also; given that good Jerry has publicly backed the Carson bid for an LA team and bad Jerry is backing the Inglewood cause, why not make this the "Los Angeles Bowl"?  Winner gets to pick which stadium gets built.

JR and Goodell are closer than JJ and Goodell

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By TD alt · Posted

      Two things: 1. Dr. Eric Eager is central to the draft process 2. I know that it was edited, but we didn't hear "Thieneman" one time, not even before the Vikings pick.

      Why would he sign here as a guard when surely someone would sign him as a tackle?  Assuming he is healthy

      Went back to watching the highlights. With a sober mind haha. Here is what I saw.    freddie needs to make 1 of those but the rest aren’t on him.    Slavin was BBBBAAAD again last night. Not sure what is going on with these game one Slavin gafs.    miller was ok but had his worst game in the playoffs so far.    nikishin was no good. His his awful turnover led to the first goal at the end of the first period that just can’t happen. ghost was beat like a drum multiple times last night, including the go-ahead goal at the end jarivs wont shoot. He is either hurt or he is struggling mentally and I think it could be a combination of both. He passed up a wide open net on the power-play only to pass it to no one and cleared it himself.     Svech played well. He is getting zero help on that line.    aho. Worst game as a pro. I mean that. He won’t shoot it, passes go to no one and turns it over repeatedly.  He did exactly what they did against Montreal game one when Miller had a turnover. Aho left his man to go help and left the golden Knight player wide open in front of Freddie.  If I was Rod, you Tell Aho when that thing hits your stick you fire it  someone needs to sit him down just him in a room and ask what’s going on. He seems soft, timid and has zero fire.   canes could have won that game   There isn’t a gap between these two teams  they are dead even   Carter Hart’s gonna get lit up in this series. We can beat that guy. the consensus last night was our defense played horrible and our stars won’t score.  clean the defense up. Tell the top line to shoot it everything and we’ll win tomorrow night.   Possibly convincingly.
