Week 14 is when we could be flexed to 8:30 against the Vikings. Currently Steelers/Ravens... Steelers been decent but Ravens trash and both us and the Vikings could be very good fighting for 1/2/3 seed then.

I highly doubt it. Heated rivalry, 2 successful teams through history and a giant fan-base in Steelers will not knock them off Sunday night.

I'd like to think NFL/NBC would put the better matchup in prime, but it's all about bringing in viewers for their advertisers. If Baltimore is still hovering around .500 at least, I bet they have a hard time pulling Pittsburgh out and putting us and the Vikings in. I hope so, though.

Obviously the NFL will analyze it and make the best decision for their bottom line but that also includes the 2nd half of the game, and I expect (just like the NFL may wind up expecting) the Steelers to blow them out and be up huge in the first half and no one will watch the 2nd half. Vikings-Panthers is much more likely to be a game that holds viewers' interest thoughout. I'm not expecting it to be flexed but I think it's possible.

i think its more likely that the Pats/Bills game gets flexed. that could literally help decide that division if the upstart Bills can pull off a win against the mortal-looking Pats

Possible, but FOX has the double header that weekend, and that's a CBS game.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
