After a six-year hiatus, Hank Williams Jr. is returning to Monday Night Football this NFL season, again asking America, “Are you ready for some football?”

But basic math shows the country singer should be asking us more about our appetite for some commercials.

The average NFL fan will watch nearly 24 hours of commercials during the 17-week regular season and only 4 hours of actual game action. Those numbers, based on a Streaming Observer analysis, come at a time when NFL ratings are in a significant decline, perhaps largely in part due to the high volume of commercials that provide the league with about $3.1 billion annually.

Anyway, this will probably get moved for a thread about Christian McCaffrey's testicles or something.  But, anyway, this is one of the many reasons why Red Zone is a sound investment on NFL Sundays.

Wow. I can't imagine sitting through commercials like that. I see commercials as merely the perfect time to grab a snack or beverage, or make room for more beverages in the bladder. 

Yeah, that too. I don't drink beer anymore but, when I did, commercials were for peeing, lol.

We get it.

So this beg the question- do you actually watch Panthers games in their entirety?

asking for a friend 

Yes, I watch every Panthers game in their entirety, but during commercials I switch to Red Zone.  Which, coincidentally shows the scores for every other game, and the Panthers game.  You weren't asking for a friend either, don't be an ass.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
