Florio reports that the Panthers and Broncos abstained from the vote. He thinks either of them could use the leverage of agreeing to vote yes to get something from Goodell.

With the Broncos, it's wanting to host the Draft. As to the Panthers...he doesn't know.

For the record, I absolutely hate this idea and even if it would mean getting something from the league (not sure what) I'd prefer they vote 'no'.

Its bad enough that if you buy a ticket for a 1PM kick and make those plans you could find yourself holding tickets to 4:25 or worse yet an 8:15 kickoff.

The idea that you game changes days?  F that.

Mara called it "abusive"

The reason this is being looked at is because Amazon got a lot of sh-tty games last year and they were none too happy about it.

So the question comes down to whether the NFL cares more about pleasing a streaming partner or their loyal fans.

Sadly, I think we all know the answer to that question 🙄

Yet another example of why Roger Goodell is the worst commissioner the NFL has ever had. 

And yet, it's The King right now.  This is not me taking up for him, more of a, no wonder the owners are cool with his paycheck.

 

And IMO, it's just wrong to do that to fans.  If I had booked tickets to fly to Green Bay and rented hotel rooms so I could show my son Lambeau....and they Flexed it two weeks prior......boy, I'd be HOT.

This is something that should be obvious to anybody with a brain.

And yet most NFL owners either seem to not know about it or not care enough about it to weigh it into their consideration.

Kudos to Mara at least for thinking of the fans.

Thursday games suck - the league is chasing revenue at the expense of players health and fans enjoyment.  Want to add another game?  Fine, do it on Saturday and compete with college football.  If your brand is so great, ratings will surely be fine, right?

      Outside of cerrato, I do like our draft overall. Hard to get can't miss draft picks when you pick late in the draft

      Not a Moore fan-but he had a few good games last year-but I want players that scare you--Renfrow's route running and intelligence, Legette's size, speed, and strength, AT's intelligence and route running, Coker's body control, strong hands, and abilty to win contested catches, and TMac's size, body control, and ability to find soft spots in zone coverages.  Horn gives them the ability to stretch the field and he plays special teams.   Moore has a nice smile and can dance.  He filled in well last season, but to get better as a team, you have to upgrade your players.  I think Moore is a bottom of the roster guy who got bumped when we drafted 2 WRs and signed a legit free agent.  Here is the thing--TMac makes us better because he is great against the zone--man?  Good luck with that.  AT's role can be reduced, and that is probably a good thing.  He can specialize in situational football. Coker?  Just getting started. XL?  Just getting started.  Drafting TMac was probably a bit of a wake up call, but XL will be better as the 2. Renfrow?  I see him splitting reps with AT--keeping both fresh and giving different looks. Horn?  Watch the safety cheat his side when he is in the game--I see a young Steve Smith type in him, but he has yet to play a game.  I hear that Morgan loves him.
