So it looks like Raleigh and Wilmington won’t get the game

I seriously doubt you miss anything. It's on here and I may not be able to sit through it all if it goes how I predict it will. 

Sure the product may suck, but I would at least like the option to not watch of my own volition. Not sure how we can ever be a big boy NFL market when local affiliates are gonna cling to old allegiances when the local team is bad.

To be fair the local team has been historically bad all things considered and the markets are about advertising ratings and making money

Looks like I'll be sailing the high seas today.

Honestly it strikes me as kind of odd considering they showed all of our games in the triangle last year.  It wasn't like there weren't any Washington fans out here who loved the Rayudskins before this year.

Man I bet David Tepper is fuging raging about this though.  What an insult.

Right, the product was much worse last year (that is saying something) and it never happened. This is the first time I remember this occurring in the triangle since I’ve lived here the last ten years.

Yeah that's insane. I've lived here for almost 20 years and I feel like that's maybe only happened 1 or 2 other times.  I saw a twitter post about it and thought that can't be right and was still planning to turn the game on in the next hour. But nope, the tv guide is showing eagles and commanders in queue at 1 PM. I guess it's just a perfect storm: Panthers are near their nadir relevance playing a minimal stakes game against a non-divisional opponent. And the other offering includes a super high stakes divisional matchup against 2 (likely) playoff teams including the Commanders which are the next closest market to the area. I was going to add Washington was kind of a home market for the area pre-Panthers too, but unless you're in your 70s, I have to think almost everyone now unequivocably considers the Panthers the home team here.

I purchased the NFL NETWORK app and paid 11 bucks each month. The panthers are my market team. They have shown every game this season except 1.

You also get all prime games. No need for Netflix, ESPN, Peacock or Amazon .

 

Redzone is worth it alone

    • What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.
    • Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
