Panthers future Thanksgiving/Christmas Games


Recommended Posts

What do you guys think happens first? We play on Thanksgiving either against Dallas or Detroit (or get the late game in the future) or we play one of the "Christmas Games" like in the past the NFL would have a Saturday day or night game in the week leading up to christmas with no NCAA games on (I see that isn't the case this year but hoping they bring it back in the future) or do we sometime play on Christmas day.

 

With the team getting better and being a national spectacle I'm hoping we land one of these games in the future.

I believe we have played the Sat night Christmas game before. A loss to Dallas in 07. A T day game would be fun.

we will never play in the late game ... if you notice Dallas and Detroit always play against 1 AFC team and 1 NFC team ... so the late game will always be AFC vs AFC ... that makes it 3 NFC and 3 AFC teams to play on Thanksgiving

There have been plenty of AFC vs NFC latr games recently. 49ers vs Ravens in 2011. In 2008 it was 2 NFC teams.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
