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?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
