Denver Broncos may supply more motivation for Panthers WIN!

If the Broncos follow every other team that's won a Super Bowl... It might just add some extra motivation to Panthers players. Back in March Denver Post stated the Broncos had made plans to make the rasing of their Super Bowl 50 Banner happen on their first home regular season game. All teams do this each year so nothing new. However not like Cam, Luke or the rest of the gang really needs extra motivation. I'm 100% sure the Panthers will be "On" for this game!

Ever since the NFL schedule was released, I've hoped that they do use this as some form of motivation that carries us all the way back to SB51 and win. It's really the only way to scrub the awful memory of that game back in February (see, I can't even reference it in the proper manner)...I probably need professional therapy BTW.

Did anyone catch Ron Rivera's comment yesterday.  I think he was a little pissed off that the Defending NFC Champs started on the road.  Looking back through the schedules Rivera is right.

Since the 2000 Season only Tampa Bay in 03 and Seattle in 06 have opened on the Road after winning the NFC Championship including the last 9 in a row till 2016.

While the chance to start the season off with a repeat of the Super Bowl I think it is a kick in the face to not allow the defending NFC Champs to open at HOME.

But how often do they immediately open the season with a Super Bowl rematch? Don't get me wrong, I'd love for this game to be in Charlotte, but by the same token if they sent Denver on the road to open the season you could say "Well I can't believe they made the defending Super Bowl champions open on the road.".

This is a good point. Fug Gordell.

The Super Bowl rematch was inevitable because they were on our schedule.   The could have made this another week.  It didn't have to be week one.  Had there not been a precedence than I don't think Rivera would have brought it up.  16 seasons before us and 14 of the NFC champs opened at home.  

I will never get over the fact I thought the Super Bowl was a gift to Payton Manning for his contributions to the NFL and the 3 or 4 blatantly poor calls that changed the game.   But I won't rehash that again.

IF the NFL sets a precedence than they should not change it for the freaking ratings.  The NFL is not struggling to get viewership.

The NFL not scheduling games to maximize their ratings? Seriously? That's the entire reason flex scheduling exists.  They had to make it week one to maximize the ratings potential while it is the freshest game in everyone's mind.

 Sure, they could have scheduled it another time during the season, but that would have given causal fans time to care less, might as well open the season with a bang. They could have made it week 2 or week 7 or any other week, but with the QB question mark in Denver, giving them a week or more to potentially tank could have made the game irrelevant to a portion of viewers.

With all that being said,, fug Denver and I hope we take a big, steaming poo the likes of which would make even SCP shed a tear up on them.

    • it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team. 
    • Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan. 
    • if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
