Panthers Game on Thanksgiving?

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...

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
