But Im sure the NFL is really loving this right now

Guess the field conditions down in Mexico city pretty bad

Yeah, I saw that too. Was pondering posting that myself.

Players refusing to play a game because of field conditions could definitely have some big time repercussions.

This is a big game too

 

Look at The Prime Time Monday night games thus far

 

SF vs NY- both teams will be drafting in the top 4 this year

Dallas vs Tennessee 

Bills vs Patriots

Giants vs Falcons

SF vs GB

Saints vs the Redskins 

Chiefs vs Broncos- was a good matchup

Steelers vs Bucs

Seahawks vs the Bears

Jets vs Lions

Raiders vs Rams

 

Zero games featuring 2 playoff caliber Teams 

 

Now you get 2 out of the best 3 teams in the league matching up and the players threatening to not play due to the field conditions

I wouldn't blame them for not being willing to play on that surface. I saw a picture yesterday of it and it looked like a train wreck. I guess they are putting sod down today per PFT. My understanding is that sod takes a couple of weeks to meld. What an embarrassing poopshow.

Could you imagine Gurley or Mahomes going down with a major leg injury there.  Talk about a black eye on the NFL

but yeah, if Mexico is gonna hold freaking concerts on the field days before the game?  You don't need to work with them anymore.

I remember that. I want to say the turf in our stadium has gotten a little past worrisome a couple of times but can't remember all the times. There was a college game and/or soccer game late in the year where it was bad after and at least once during the regular season where it was just crap. Purely memory, work sucks lol. I don't think JR cared much. Hell, we still practice in a lobby when it's really bad weather. Can't wait for Tepper to nix that BS. 

If I was a Rams or Chiefs fan, I would be mad as hell at even the thought. Both of those teams are real contenders. Fug loosing talent to win a game in the regular season when they are almost locked in to the postseason. 

So what happens if one or both teams will not field a full team for this game? No idea if the NFL can save this situation but they can't make players play. Losing a game check to save a career is worth it in my eyes. I wouldn't want Cam out there that is for sure.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
