...and then to come home and take care of business in the two games they'll likely be favored in against the Redskins and Vikings, so that the Week 11 game against the Lions in Detroit gets "flexed" by NBC.

Obligated.

That's the only moral victory I'm interested in.

Panthers @ Detroit...prime time. That's it.

Considering the fact that I was editing it before you spoke, I'd say I knew what today was all along.

Besides, you clearly don't know what connotation "Know-it-All" carries.

Fail.

A know-it-all or know-all is a person who believes that he/she has an accurate comprehension of a topic and/or situation when in reality, his/her comprehension is inaccurate and limited. This belief may or may not be outwardly expressed. The German word Besserwisser is also used in some languages, literally meaning "better knowing [person]"

Nah, by the time we get to that point in the season, Detroit's magic will be gone and they'll be in the tank.

I said "connotation", not "definition".

A "know-it-all" is a person who comes across to others as if they think they know it all, whether or not they do or think they do.

Therefore, I successfully lived up to that moniker, but you can keep trying...and failing.

I don't think obligated is the word you want there.

It is, considering how I was being quixotic, not literal.

The goal was simply to start the topic of what it takes at this point for the Panthers to get a flexed game, and what the first possibly attractive match-up for NBC would be, and to do so in an exaggerated fashion.

A "surprising" Panthers team with Cam Newton and Steve Smith going to a "surprising" Lions team with Matthew Stafford and Megatron. NBC would jump on that in a heartbeat...if the Panthers can string a few wins together before Week 11.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
