Lockout 2011: Another Step Closer to Reality

As this unbearable Panther team goes through the motions of playing out its last, few, miserable weeks there is another story on the wire this morning about the impending lockout that will also claim, if not all, then at least part of the 2011 season.

All this means is Panther fans will go through well in excess of 18 months without seeing an NFL caliber team they can call their own.

The NFL Players Association predicts that the city of Charlotte will lose $160 million in lost jobs and revenue if the NFL season is cancelled next year.

In Georgia, the NFLPA sent letters to Gov. Sonny Perdue, Gov.-elect Nathan Deal and Mayor Kasim Reed, warning that Atlanta could see more than $160 million in lost jobs and revenue if the owners opt to cancel the 2011 football season

These are 2 statements from letters the NFLPA sent to state officials in Georgia and North Carolina. How is it both teams will lose the same amount of revenues when the stadium deals are completely different and the ownership structure is different?

The NFLPA countered that they want the owners to match the 100 million dollars in pay cuts the owners want them to take to apply to retired players health.

Yes, but that's not a demand. In the sense that they're threatening to strike if their demands aren't met. It's not even actually a counter offer, since the owners haven't ACTUALLY told the players what it is exactly that they want.

And even if they were striking to get those things they threw out there, I'd be hard pressed to disagree with any of them.

      Trap game

      This won't be a trap game for them. I worry more for the next time we face Atlanta. That's a death trap game if we aren't careful.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Luckily, we've got more games ahead to watch and see what happens. Maybe he keeps growing his game, maybe we see that he's topped out when we hit stiffer competition. Or maybe he flames out against a team he should well be able to beat like the Jets this weekend. I really can't tell where all of this will end. I can say, though, there's no reason to hit the kid at the moment. Let him roll for as long as he can.  Heck, Sam Darnold is setting the league on fire right now, along with Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones. Examples of guys mired in bad coaching on bad teams (sometimes our own) that hit their stride just as a team did. Maybe we're about to get lucky.  I do know one thing. The biggest change in a winning Bryce and a losing Bryce is that when he plays fearlessly, he is a hell of a competitor. When he gets scared, and he has so many times, it all just falls apart for him and no team can save him. Bravery makes the difference and it comes from believing in not just himself, but his line, his receivers, his running back and the play calling. Just like most young QBs. And quite a few of the old ones. Rodgers couldn't make it in the chaos of the Jets situation. He can in Pittsburgh, so it seems.

      That’s what I thought too. Maybe I interpreted it wrong. I was considering maybe taking a last minute trip but I think I’ll pass
