No way.  Even including PSL owners there's no way 95% of tickets were sold yesterday.  That's what the Panthers reported to the League and where ESPN gets their information.

PSLs, then they put up the single game tickets and they pre-sell those. That’s how it was designed to operate.  It’s why the games are never “blacked-out” locally.

Per NFL policy, a game cannot be televised locally if 85% of tickets are not sold.

They sold 95%. It’s just no one showed up.

Still something very fishy there and I'm not on a boat in the ocean.  I think someone hit the nail on the head with "distributed" tickets, i.e. charity.  They can donate 5,000 tickets to a corporate sponsor or charity and not sit on those tickets.  I think they are on the hook for any tickets on hand. 

I bet PSL holder rate is nowhere near 100% and the single game seats sold probably were a blip.  Again, fuzzy math.

There were not .45 cents tickets.  As with most things on social media, that was made up.  

They were extraordinarily cheap, but not 45 cents.

That .50 per ticket went viral. It even hooked a couple small time writers and I had a couple friends text it to me. Shows how fast fake info can spread if people want to believe something.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
