Are We Week 17 Flex Candidates?

Recommended Posts

If the Carolina Panthers are going for the 16-0 Perfect season, do they flex us to prime time? When the Patriots played the Giants in week 17 on NFL Network they made a special exception and aired the game over Network Television. A precedence has been set for making a big deal out of this milestone. 

Our opponent, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are surging. They are currently on 6 wins with the following opponents:   

Saints @ Home 

Rams Away

Bears @ Home 

It's possible they could run the table and be playing for a 10 win season and Wild Card spot. 

The other games will be enticing. Card & Seahawks, Packers & Viking, and of course any NFC East Championship game always gets flexed.

Tickets for that Buccaneers game are absurdly high on NFL Ticket Exchange right now. Lower Bowl Seats start over $300. I would personally love to throw a party in Charlotte that Sunday night. We can invite Rodney to step out of his Ivory tower in NYC and see whats up.

For Week 17, NBC will only show a game with major playoff implications. That pretty much rules out TBvsCAR.

For Week 16: FOX will likely keep CARvsATL due to not wanting to lose out revenue. Could they move the game to 4p? Depends on whether CAR has cinched the first round bye or not, IMO.  

Week 15, I could see NBC grabbing CARvsNYG for two reasons: CAR being undefeated and NYG having a broad national appeal with Eli etc... but the Giants may have already played their max number of National Games (there's a rule for that?).

I understand humor, but you aren't funny.

You weren't funny when you interrupted a discussion about football to incorrectly proclaim it grammatically incorrect for someone to use the word "gift" as a verb -- something you were wrong about, by the way. You weren't funny when you complained about dictionaries and the historical present tense. You weren't funny when you said, "never verb nouns." And you weren't funny when you quoted me and said I don't understand humor.

No one enjoys reading those kinds of posts. The best reaction you can hope for from that kind of mess is not a chuckle, but an eye roll.

I think most people are here to talk about football, not the proper use of the Oxford comma.

    • Good game so far.  Solid trench battles, two young well built defenses, and my 2 fave coaches.  Stafford is really damn good.  SEA OL is overperforming.  
    • Okay then. To me that means Russell Wilson was Coryell. Because I see the proposition completely in the Russell Wilson punt/pass put it up for grabs mold. Count on the receiver to catch it or knock it down.    And the reason I thought that was the intent with Legette is the abysmal downfield game from 2023. As in, there was barely any.   I look at it as if… the result of a deep attempt isn’t as important as the opponent understanding they have to defend it. So I was all for some 50/50s. Coryell, Walsh whoever.  I do favor the Coryell approach personally but also very much value versatility, it doesn’t have to be strict. Just make the defense defend the whole field, however you do it. It has to include downfield throws.     
    • Sold, or in the process of being sold. Could be either way. Consider this for a second... Last season, our defensive coordinator steered what many have called the worst defense in NFL history.  Canales would absolutely have been justified in firing him, and no one would have blamed him if he had.  But what did he do? He gave Evero another chance to come back and prove he could be better. Does that tell us something about Canales? I think it does. Now apply that to Bryce 😕
