Is anyone covering our game this week?

Or are they just waiting until tomorrow. I watch ESPN First Take (b/c i like it), and all the other shows, and I have heard absolutely nothing about our game. ESPN even a segment on games with playoff implications, and didn't mentioned us. I am not surprised, I am just wondering if anyone has heard of anything coming up?

Is there a game coming up?

I said it last week, because it's the Panthers, our lack of respect rubs off on other teams. They hardly talked about the Saints game or the Falcon game. But before and after those games they slurp all over those teams. But not during the week of the game. I can't believe you haven't gotten used to the lack of coverage of a Panther game.

We are among the most hated teams in the league. Our team made it to the NFC Championship game in the 2nd year of team franchise in 96, then we went to the SB in year 10 in 2003. We also went back to the NFC Championship in 2005 vs seahawks. Our team in 15 years has done more then Lions and bengels combine. NFL are just jealous of us on how much we have done in 15 years. Thats why during games announcers seem to want other teams to beat us the way they only talk good about other teams when we play them. Just pure jealous.

This is what I've realized over the last couple of years. If your team doesn't have good QB play, you won't get much media coverage. The Falcons stopped getting respect ever since Matt Ryan started sucking it up. Just look at the team, their QB, and how much national coverage they get.

Pats, Brady

Colts, Manning

Steelers, Roethlisberger

Eagles, McNabb

Cowboys, Romo

Saints, Brees

Chargers, Rivers

Giants, Manning

Cardinals, Warner

Vikings, Favre

Packers, Rodgers

And honestly, those are the teams that are covered the most. And the 1 thing they have in common is good QB play. That's all it comes down to.

There are too many teams in front of us in the Playoff race for us to even get a look...and to be fair I heard next to nothing about Monday's Browns/Ravens game. A small market team versus a crappy team, not even local radio talked about it much today. They opened the Buck/Frank show talking about college basketball.

    • I've been screaming for DE for months. Forbidden topic indeed. 
    • Great post! Now that I think on it, I think D line might be our biggest need. We are one player away from having a potential disastrous defensive line. Brown and Wharton struggled last year and Wharton has really only been a rotational player that specializes in one thing. Can we count on him being a full time starter? Jackson is unproven. Do you want a starting defensive line of Wharton, Brown and Jackson? I don’t want to risk it.   I honestly don’t think linebacker is that big of a need. If Rozeboom ends up coming back then why get a LB?   games are won in the trenches and I would honestly prefer us drafting an offensive or defensive linemen over any other position in the first. The prospect you mentioned seems like a good prospect who has had some good production as well. Only problem is defensive line is a position that can take time for a player to develop. Will whoever we draft be ready this season ? 
    • Have they though? I'll give you KC with Kelce, but c'mon, they weren't winning those SB's because they had a great TE, it was a combination of Mahomes and some great defenses.  Will also give you the 49ers and Ravens with Kittle and Andrews, but even then, both have missed time with injuries the last few years. After those 3 teams, the best teams of the last 2-3 years have not had elite TEs The Eagles had Goedert, he's good, not great. The Bills have also had good but not great TE's The Rams have had average TEs and still consistently run 2 and 3 TE sets with them and still win. The Bucs have been winning the South without a great TE The Lions' Laporta is more a name than a highly productive TE. The Texans have had a serviceable TE in Shultz, but nothing too amazing. Some of the best TE's in the league the last few years have been on some of the worst teams.  McBride, Bowers, Warren, Njoku, even Pitts this past year. A true elite TE is absolutely a weapon in today's game, but I think the best teams use that money elsewhere and find serviceable TE play, usually through a committee where each TE brings something else to the table.
