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.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      By Icege · Posted

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
