We'll get one this year. Flexed, so long as we win enough to be in the race.

IMHO these are the only 2 weeks they would Flex out -

Week 12 Sunday, November 27 8:20 p.m. Pittsburgh Steelers Kansas City Chiefs Arrowhead Stadium

or

Week 13 Sunday, December 4 8:20 p.m. Indianapolis Colts New England Patriots Gillette Stadium

That being based on the Chiefs and Colts - if they don't get it together.

But during Week 12 - we play the Colts, so that ain't happening (again based on today.) So Week 13 is our chance IMHO - Panthers @ Bucs, if we are both in the mix for the division, I could see this one happening, they could tout the clash of the 2 newest QB's of the NFC South.

As for a flex game this year. The flex weeks are week 11-17. I was looking @ the sched and I only see 1 week where they would make a change and put us on. That is IF we are in the playoff hunt.

Looking @ it week by week:

Week 11: Phi @ Giants... no way they pull this game with the following these 2 teams have plus they are in large markets. Also it's a rivalry game.

Week 12: Pitt @ KC This is a possiblility as KC is garbage but we play the Manningless Colts and they may be worse than KC.

Week 13: Ind @ NE This might be our best chance. This game should be a blowout. NBC might look to put our game with the Bucs @ TB on if both teams are in the hunt for the NFCS title.

Week 14: Giants @ Cowboys No way NBC will move this game as it would piss off Jerry and you don't want to piss off Jerry. Although this would be a good game for us against Atl @ BOA

Week 15: Balt @ SD both teams look to be strong and this might be a preview of the AFC championship game.

Week 16: Chi @ GB another rivalry game against 2 popular teams. Also rivalry game that will draw well. Scheduling might be a problem because this game in on Christmas day and all the others are going to be played on Christmas eve. Don't see them moving this one.

Week 17: No Sunday night game as they all play @ either 1 PM or 4PM

So as I see it the best chance would be Week 13. But you never know what the network boys are thinking.

we'll have a couple games flexed this year, imo.

going forward we could probably count on more than a couple prime time games.

the hype newton is getting will assure that. if we can be competitive and win, we should easily see a couple MNF a year as well as the occasional sunday night games.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
