We have a lot of potential primetime games next season

There are only two games each year that aren't set in stone for the following year's schedule until the season is over, the games vs. the teams that finish in your position in the two other NFC divisions that you don't play that season. So, assuming the Panthers end up in last in the NFC South, here are the teams they'll be playing next season:

H/A with the NFC South of course

@Denver (Fox vs. Panthers, Cam vs. The Golden Calf of Bristol)

@Kansas City

OAKLAND

SAN DIEGO

@Philadelphia (Cam vs. Vick)

@Washington

DALLAS (any game vs. Dallas is always a primetime possibility)

NY GIANTS

Only two games that aren't for sure yet:

ARIZONA (they'll be in last if they lose this game vs. the Rams like they are currently)

@Minnesota (practically guaranteed to be in last in the North, this just about set in stone)

I bet we'll get three primetime games: Broncos, Eagles, Falcons or Saints.

Definitely won't be all 1pm starts next year.

The Golden Calf of Bristol may not even be the starter next season

I highly doubt The Golden Calf of Bristol starts for the Broncos next year. Flat out, he's not a pro QB.

...they should maybe try him at RB or WR. (Thats what I'ld do in Madden at least.)

The Golden Calf of Bristol may not be in the NFL next year. And I'm not sure why the NFL would schedule a primetime game with two teams playing that won around 6 or 7 games combined. I don't see that happening. My guess is a Monday night game and a Thursday NFL Network game.

I'm sure we will at least get one but you have to consider other teams schedules as well. We aren't the only team in the NFL and just because we have Cam Newton doesn't mean we are going to be on prime time every week.

Also, I agree that there is no way The Golden Calf of Bristol will be the starter next year. No way. I'd think there are better chances of Hell freezing over.

first, gotta win some games this season...

uhh...

Nah, they schedule based on potential of ratings. we gonna get some primetime next season.

THIS.

Why else do you think the Cowboys didn't lose any primetime games during that 6-10 year. Its all about the games that will pull in the most viewers.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
