Thursday night flexing and the Panthers

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

Goodell is nothing more than a public face for the league to attract all the ire and venom from fans that otherwise would be directed at the owners.

He’s paid handsomely to be boo’d hither and yon and play the “bad guy.”

Thats why he’s the worst.

Even taking into account that all fans in a stadium are local, not everybody is able to go to a mid-week night game that is scheduled 2 weeks in advance.  

Plus, the scheduling seems weird -- when a team has plans in place for a full week of practice/planning/recovery, and then the league pulls them aside and says, "yeah - about that.... just deal with another short week on your schedule" isn't very team-friendly, either.

And doesn't that adversely favor those short-week teams by giving them a longer recovery timeframe the following week that their next opponents wouldn't have the benefit of?  Late season, that could turn into a huge advantage.

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?  

The NFL can't have games on Friday or Saturday for legal reasons

Pretty sure there's a lot more worse things going on in this world than what some of you are whining about in here.

The idea that NFL fans are bitching about a change they dont like somehow exposes the shallow nature of posters and exposes them as people unable to care about other "more important" issues if pretty fuging stupid.

 

Even for a self admitted contrarian

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
