Schedule comes out Thursday - will the Panthers get a Sunday or Monday night primetime game?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Obviously they will get a bog standard TNF game that everyone gets, but will Matt Rhule coach in a primetime game in his Panthers career?

[Zod]

I wouldn't think so.

[EgoDogg]

If we do, probably in the 2nd half of the season, once Corral might get the starting nod. Possibly vs the Steelers (Pickett vs Corral, potentially). If so, hopefully it goes better than our last primetime game vs the Steelers.

Also, there is no better game time than 1pm on Sundays that's all end of discussion the end.

[Captroop]

Yes. I'll guess 1 of these two.

Monday Night Game vs. TB: ESPN likes games with stars and divisional rival games. And I also get the feeling networks will want to give Tom Brady a fairly hefty farewell tour this year. Check all those boxes and let the nation watch Tom Brady beat up on us one last time.

Sunday Night vs. CLE: Sunday night games tend to feature story lines and drama. And in this they could either watch the Panthers play against the one who got away in Watson, or the one they wouldn't shell out money for in Mayfield. Either way the Browns QB situation plays out, there's a lot of "drama" that could be hyped up to reel in a national audience.

Every year that goes by, this gets more and more accurate. Give me 1 PM every week.

I wholeheartedly disagree. From watching Panthers games during my travels to Vegas, I can say without caveat that a 10am game eating an omelette with a mimosa in hand, is the superior way to watch any football game. And "night games" that end at 8:30pm? *chef kiss*

[Waldo]

Maybe...Will it be flexed away is also a good question at this time.

[Cdparr7]

They are saying Denver week 7, SF week 1. Only “leaks” I’ve seen. I don’t put much stock into it 

[Mr. Scot]

I'm not sure why they would.

[CRA]

Monday? I would doubt that. 

Panthers are more of a "Thursday" night team

[hepcat]

Panthers are one of the last teams in the NFL they’d put in prime time. 

[rayzor]

stick with 1pm (or 4pm if away game is called for) on Sundays for all week whether we're good or bad. 

i'm not sure why anyone would want to broadcast us on a primetime game unless it's to make some hyped up team look good.
