How the NFL sees us


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Yall know I'll throw out the victim card for our franchise, quick...  my only issue with the scheduling, and that's every year, is that we consistently get one of the toughest schedules every year.

As far as prime time games this season?  Who cares.  We didnt deserve it.  And in their eyes, if the team performs like they did last season, what national audience would want to see that?  And coming off a down year, and not knowing if Cam (our biggest star) will be healthy?  Why would they give us more than one prime time game?

If we want more, we're gonna have to win it.

After 9 years of no back to back winning seasons with Newton and Kuechly and mostly putrid performances in national games, everyone should want a change that is unless mediocrity is ok

It fascinates me that you think that is okay with anyone.

I think a lot of people are satisfied with the status quo and live on hopes that some day it might just maybe somehow work this time.

I think this is based more on the market than the team. We went 6-2  before Cam lost his arm and missed the playoffs by one game. 

This years schedule is looking comparable to 2018 in that we have to start hot and build up some wins because the last part could be tough.

The NFL will happily promote small market teams that are consistent contenders.

Cardinals, Panthers, Bengals, Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins, Buccaneers, and Titans

Does this really surprise anyone? I've always considered us to be the NFC version of the Titans (relatively new team in an up-and-coming Southern city, inconsistent results over the years).  Looking at these teams, the only one with any kind of national fanbase is the Dolphins. We're only relevant when we win or Cam does/says something controversial.

They have no problem putting Green Bay (the smallest market if I'm not mistaken) in Prime Time.

Exactly - and we've covered it here in the past. Charlotte is not close to being the smallest TV market when you look at overall coverage.

    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
    • Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
