Still waiting to see if CARvsATL gets flexed from the 1p slot to either 4p or the night game..... 'cause there's nothing that any fan would want more than to be stuck in downtown Atlanta on NYE (with all the road closings for the Peach Drop etc etc around that part of town -- kinda blocks some highway access points).

But over on http://sports.morganwick.com/category/football/nfl/snf-flex-scheduling-watch/#sthash.U8T67GKG.dpbs , dude brings up a good point.  

Flexing the game may not be feasible for one reason: the Peach Bowl is played at the MBDome the next day, and the staff need a certain amount of time to turn the signage/field/etc around from the NFL setup.   Can they do it in 13 hours?  Maybe... or maybe not.   They've had to deal with quick turnarounds before with no issue, but it still could be something that is considered in determining whether we'll get flexed or not.

That brings the possibilities down to a pair of games. One of them is a pretty sexy looking Panthers-Falcons matchup. The NFC South title could be on the line in Week 17 if the Falcons beat the Bucs on Monday Night Football this evening, and if they upset the Saints in Week 16. But if the Falcons lose one of those two games prior to the Panthers matchup, the game will lose some of its luster.

If the panthers and falcons win Sunday, it will most definitely be the flexed game. 

If the panthers win and the falcons lose, I’m still betting it will be the 4:25 national game. They will play the saints-Bucs game at 1:00. If the Bucs were to pull the upset, the division would be on the line. If not, it would still essentially be a play in game for the falcons. Lose to us and they very well may be out.

Agreed

The NFL doesn't care about NYE

They care about bottom line. Plenty of people would be doing New Year's Eve stuff instead of watching the game. Yeah probably not enough that it's better to leave all the games in the early slots but it'll be a factor in their ratings that night.

Or you can say more people will be out and about because of NYE therefore it's a prime TV slot.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it

      I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
