NBC’s Cris Collinsworth dropped a bombshell last week on his Twitter page and at his website, FootballPros.com, predicting that the NFL’s regular season won’t begin until November.

The thinking is that the Eighth Circuit will conclude that the lockout should remain in place, that negotiations will get serious after Week One is missed (and the NFL and its players incur the wrath of the fans and the media by not playing on the 10th anniversary of 9/11), a deal is reached within a month, camps open in early October, a single-game preseason is played, and the real thing starts in November.

If this is the case, I've seriously lost faith in these jerks who can't decide who to split that much money.

The NFL will never be the same if there is no football to November. I think if it lasts that long, I won't even bother to watch the season.

The players' compensation structure needs to get under control quick. Really, I don't mind having to wait until November if that means that a reasonable CBA is reached and I can still afford to go to a football game in the coming years.

I mind. They still will have to cram everything together and teams won't have the type of presason prep they need......and that will drastically effect teams like Carolina. So a Panther fan is left paying full price for a half assed product.

Teams w/ a coaching staff, playbook, etc. in place for years wouldn't be as heavily effected. Giving them a bigger advantage.

...something we've tragically gotten used to doing

NEVER is a bit dramatic. If this happens then the 2011 season will be cheapened but after that it'll be back to normal.

If the lockout goes late into the season, then I think there's a chance Cam Newton will never see the field (this season). We still have to sign all of our rookies once the lockout finally ends and with Cam being the #1 pick I can see his contract taking quite a while. Not to mention there's no way I'd want him starting that late in the season with very limited practice with the team.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.

      Smitty on TMac

      I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches.

      Give Legette another season?

      At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
