I don't watch Monday or Thursday night football unless the Panthers are playing.  Don't even care.

I do sometimes.

Wouldn't surprise me if ESPN lobbied heavily for this, though it's not guaranteed they keep Monday Night in the next contract.

Thursday night football sucks for players. Playing 4 days after playing a game sucks. I think the only way to make it ok is to only have teams coming off of their bye week play on Thursday.  So they play Sunday, then have 10 days to Thursday, then have 10 days to the next game on the following Sunday. I think some teams would prefer this, as it keeps players more in rhythm, because you don't have 2 whole weeks between games.

Also use this idea for the London game. Maybe only schedule London teams who have a bye the week after.  Because in my experience, going to Europe is ok while you're there, but you feel terrible after you come back.  Give them their bye then.

ESPN is floundering and I couldn't be happier.  Monday night football will not save them.  Pro football is a Sunday only game.  They are over saturating the market with weeknight games, most of which just suck no matter who's playing.

I realize that stupid is the rule around here, but they can't do that. People travel and rent hotel rooms for games, can't just tell them to wait until tomorrow night.

I've always felt like they could do better in viewership if they simply had it come on earlier.  I realize why they think they need the time that they do...but I'd challenge that notion and try an earlier start to check it out.  I noticed how big of a difference it made for me to watch a full MNF game when I was on central time vs eastern.

It's been a bad idea to put bad games on prime time just because. If the teams want to be on prime time then don't suck or get flexed.

We don't deserve any prime time games next year and shouldn't until we prove we would be more than a sacrificial animal to trot out there for a killing.

Thursdays are such low quality games, it needs to end. Let the players have time to rest and prepare instead of a rushed crap product.

Well. It is an election year....talk about over saturation....Given the choice of that coverage or ESPN, ESPN wins that one for me

      Malik Willis anyone

      One thing I didn’t consider is how thin this draft is at quarterback. That’s going to drive up the market for backups and borderline starters like Willis, Jones, and Jameis Winston. Because of that, we’ll most likely be priced out of the market for this tier of backup.

      We've already beat the #1 seed twice, why not one more? (Packers and Rams were both #1 seed at the time we played)

      My determination has come down to this. Based on recent QB history, has Bryce's improvement warranted 50m per season? Lamar is the only original team QB to play on his 5th year. The others took major deals at the end of the 3rd, before or just after the option was signed. Chances are, we're getting asked for the same.  I haven't rooted for Bryce to fail. I've rooted for him to succeed so big that them signing that extension would give me no worries about our future at QB at all. We haven't seen that level of play consistently that this year. We haven't seen it in the past 6 games.  We're about to be at a threshold with Bryce and I worry about what this front office will do. We have a history of bad decision making and Morgan has been part of that group making those decisions. I don't want Carolina in the same boat Arizona and Miami are right now. It has nothing to with being right. It has to do with wanting to win for more than a single season. We've never had back to back winning seasons. Faith in their abilities is not warranted at this point.
