Would you like to see the Panthers play on Thanksgiving? Would it be an inconvenience? I personally wouldn't mind it. I know I'd be off work, and nothing would give me more pleasure than watching my team play while stuffing myself with good food. It would make the day twice as nice. Lions have been doing it for years. Discuss.

Unless it was a primetime game I would hate it. As much as I love my family, I would be forced into Thanksgiving duties that would prevent me from watching the Panthers play the way I can from home. When a bad play happens you can't just start yelling and cursing and then complain about it in the Huddle chat. But if it were around 8:00 then it would be alright.

No, I would like to enjoy my Thanksgiving and not be upset.

I agree. On the off, off, OFF chance that we lost against the Lions, it would ruin my Thanksgiving. And considering that I'd probably be holding an electric knife and a serving fork at the time, I would be a threat to myself, my property and those around me.

My Rams have been on Thanksgiving twice. It's nice. Yes, they won both times (at Detroit), but it's still something to look forward to other than the parades and everything else the rest of the family wants to watch. Imagine a game at Dallas when the Panthers are having a good season. The rest of the weekend you feel good about your team.

Is the question about seeing the 'Cats play on a GIVEN Thanksgiving, or be scheduled to play EVERY Thanksgiving? Seeing how the Cowboys and Lions always play that day, and their opponents always change, it stands to reason that some year we will play them. But unless the league changes things and adds a third game where the home site could vary, i.e., they always schedule different teams to play, or a third team 'volunteers' to host it, any Thanksgiving game the 'Cats play will be a road game.

What I worry about is that they'll schedule us to play in London or some other foreign location. That seems to be the trend the league is pursuing..

Actually NFL Network runs a primetime game on Thanksgiving as well, so technically we could fall into that slot for a home game, but either way I think Sunday is the best day for Panther football.

Even though we'd probably beat the Lions, we all know the game would likely be close enough that you wouldn't enjoy it ... we'd probably be behind for a while in the second half...

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Please don't tell me you just averaged the QB ratings of all of Shough's starts to declare his QB rating as better 😂 I hope you don't actually believe that's how it works.  Otherwise please show your math on Shough's QB rating as a starter. Thanks for including Shough's 2.6 more Rushing YPG in this comparison, really doesn't feel at all like you're desperately grasping for as many straws as you can here. The truth is, it takes a statistical bottom-tier starting QB like Bryce Young to make Shough look simply OK by comparison.  And that bottom-tier starting QB still, by your own admission, puts up more points for his offense than Shough.  You're framing this as damning for Bryce, but in reality the fact that him and Bryce are so neck-and-neck is shining Shough in a very poor light. Yes Shough is a rookie and Young is a 3rd year starter, which is why I circle back to my position of Shough having a "pretty solid, encouraging rookie season" whereas you're fanboying over him.  Never mind that Shough is 2 years older than Bryce though.  Normally yes a QB's experience in the league is invaluable...but Bryce is kind of a unique situation considering the biggest complaint with him is he is too physically limited to succeed in the league.  Do we think a QB can overcome severe physical limitations simply with experience?  Also I remember wayyyy back (/s) when we cared so much about DJ Johnson being an older rookie and our standard for them being that they're more NFL-ready and able to contribute sooner rather than later.  But now all of a sudden Shough is just a poor little 26-year-old rookie on an awful team.  Seriously...the way you frame everything around Shough is straight out of a fanfic.  Constantly referencing with tears in your eyes how he's succeeding against all odds on such an awful team.  Meanwhile the Saints' D is 14th in PPG and their offense (led by Shough) is 29th in PPG.  Telling me how the Saints managed a win on Shough's shoulders against the Jets last week who put up...*checks notes*...6 points against the Saints' D.  Yes god bless the savior Shough who willed his team to victory against those juggernauts led by Brady Cook.  Never mind how Taysom Hill threw as many touchdowns in 1 passing attempt as Shough did in 49 passing attempts.  Yikes.

      Who's gonna drop the gloves? I can't think of a single player on this team that can fight. Period. Much less get the best of an opposing player. Please.

      as a starter, Shough is better this year in all the aspects I shared with you.  Facts. You disputed nothing I said because I’m talking starts and my numbers are right
