It's That Time of Year Again (The Week 17 Flex)

They never learn. Year after year Dallas manages to hang around mathematically until the last week of the season. Every year they get flexed into prime time match ups. I'm just tired of it. We've been overexposed to the NFC LEAST. Death, Taxes, and the Dallas Cowboys imploding in the final game of the regular season.

 

Our Panthers will play the Falcons at 1pm on Sunday. I'm OK with this because our opponent is bad and the drive home from Atlanta will be easier to manage on Sunday for fans. It also sets us up for an appealing slate of 4pm games. The Bucs and Saints game may mean little to us by 4pm. That gives us a chance to root for the 49ers vs. Cardinals and the Rams vs. Seahawks. The Packers and Bears looks like a fun game too. With all these appealing match ups I come back to my original point: the Cowboys are depriving us of a good Sunday Night game.

It looks like in Charlotte (Concord for me) that we get 4 afternoon games this Sunday on TWC.

 

CBS are two AFC games already listed.

 

But on Fox they are both TBA.........of course the early game will be us.................but what I'm interested in what game we get on Fox for the late game with so many good ones then.

 

Does anyone know when they post this?

 

Right now it is TBA for Fox at 4:30pm

I hate the Cowboys as much as anyone, but the networks can't really be blamed for the fact that polarizing teams get ratings.

People who love the Cowboys will watch in hopes of seeing them win. People who hate the Cowboys will watch in hopes of seeing them get destroyed. Ditto the Patriots, Steelers and others.

It sucks, but if the goal is to get ratings, then you have to take that kind of thing into account.

right now 506 has us getting the Saints and Bucs which is kind of dumb because that game is meaningless to us if we win.

Yeah I get that but I'm just tired of watching them. They have been consistently mediocre since 1996. I don't find them exciting or interesting. They get by on name. Every time I see Dallas on the prime time schedule I groan. Not because I hate them, because I just don't care.

      I am too. Frank became completely disinterested in the HC job after the draft.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By CRA · Posted

      down 24 and we get our first possession in the 3rd and what happens?  run TE checkdown TE checkdown run run run RB checkdown TE checkdown run TE checkdown incomplete TE checkdown run now on the 4 yard line- Renfrow TD and POOF!  3rd quarter is over.  That's not a team even trying to get back into the game in reality.  That's just the Panthers taking freebies to make it look respectable in the end and guess what? Bryce gets to pad on 6/7 to his stat line in exchange for making the 3rd quarter disappear.  Not sure the hyper focus on the depth of the corners.  Cardinals were going to simply drop and allow the easy stuff underneath.  Which they did.  Did they play a random short yardage play a little different? Sure.  That doesn't' mean they weren't just letting the Panthers overall eat clock to bring the game to an end.  The Cards strategy was fine on D.  You just don't generally see teams implement it as early as they did but they were up pretty big.  It's the other units for the Cards that fugged the plan up.  again, it's 3 drives,  the ONE in the 3rd quarter and only drive of the entire quarter and the 2 to open the 4th.  Cardinals gave Bryce stuff in exchange for clock  (and the result was slow long drives eating the clock).  The rest of the game? They didn't.  The rest of the game outside of those 3 drives the Cards weren't in garbage allowance mode and Bryce stunk
