So NBC's SNF number is down, and the FOX Game of the Week number is up. Here's a novel thought: Maybe people are just more discerning in how they're spending their time right now? And Bucs/Saints was the more appealing watch? I don't think that's too crazy an idea

This sounds right to me. People have spent all year rearranging their schedules, adapting to all the crap going on. Our time isn't what it used to be. If the better game is the 4:00 game, we watch that. No one cares that Dallas is on Sunday Night Football anymore. Too much poo going on.

People are doing a lot more outdoor/social activities to make up for being cooped up for so long, especially while the weather is nice outside. I know a lot of people skipping TV sports to hike, camp, play golf, go to the beach/lake, etc.

Time is a precious commodity. A non-Panthers game has to be a huge draw for me to tune in anymore. Otherwise I am doing something else.

Aren't all sports on at the same time now due to Covid? That would be a massive oversatuation in the sportd entertainment market if so.

I have yet to hear the nfl as a league or any of the teams express that they miss the fans. This seems to be instructive as to their attitude toward us. The nfl experience is about the game the stadium and the fans. The vibe given off currently is “y’all are lucky y’all have us to play for you”  which in my opinion is astronomically arrogant and short sighted.

I think some people who were between casual to hardcore on the fan spectrum probably found other things to occupy their time with during the lockdown era when nothing was going on. Some of those people may very well never come back.

I can remember a number of years back stepping away for a few months from console and PC games, which I had played for years and years. Once I had stopped playing them for that length of time, I never went back. No real reason, I just ended up finding better things to do with my free time.

Agreed I spend most of my Sunday finishing my kayak trailer. The weather is going to be perfect for that soon and tbh no one really cares about rigged games anymore. I love the Panthers but the NFL as a whole has been crap the last few year. That and we are 3 years away from being competitive.

I can't help but wonder if Dallas will suffer more of a drop in ratings than most other teams given their national fan base that tends to be a little more red around the neck.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
