the nfl on tv was alot different in the 80's. the nfc was on cbs, while the afc was on nbc. you would turn on the nfl today at 1pm and hear brent musburger say.."you are looking live at veteran's stadium, as the eagle's take on the redskins". no nfl suday ticket, so if you didn't want to watch that game, you could switch to watch the steelers vs oilers on nbc. and monday night football. it was always like the cowboys vs chiefs. in the late 80's early 90's in the intro they would have clips of an interview with one of the player's, example troy aikmen. they would always say "i think we have a team that can go all the way this year". frank gifford and dan deirdorf called the games then. memory lane.

yeah, and if you didn't stay up you had to read the paper the next AM to find out who won.

people would get so fugin' pissed at what game they were showing, that stations had to take a phone poll and the game with the most votes was the one they would show and tell people that highest vote total won it to keep them from getting pissed.

If you wanted highlights you had to watch George Michaels Sports machine at 11:30 pm ot see extended highlights. but in that 30 minutes it was only half football and the other half the other sports. So each game got like 30 seconds of highlights. And you had to stay up late to get that.

And we had to bet on games via the newspaper cuz that was the only method available for the lines.

And the bars had .10 wings and $1 drafts for MNF.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
