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.

      Who will blow it Sunday?

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They are 1 and 9 against the  Bucs in the past 10 games. the Panthers go as young goes.  QB1 ‘s are suppose to dictate and overcome  and elevate Everything the QB does affects every part of the team and Bryce is uneven. Canales and Bryce have  an uneven relationship too  as for Evero, the only thing that might save him is the injury to Baker’s left shoulder and oline injuries. I don’t even know how he is out there   I really feel their season ended last Sunday Canales’ division record isn’t great   Getting owned by the Saints and Bucs isn’t a good look

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Jacabee · Posted

      Frankly surprised by the amount of people that want to hang Evero. This was a defense that was almost universally considered the bottom of the barrel before this season started. We’ve managed to stat our way to the middle of the pack whatever that means. Those critical of the zone schemes, what do you want? When even JC is getting burnt one on one by Olave you have little choice. There definitely have been moments where the zone blitz stuff has bit us. That said, are the third string linebackers (and nick Scott) covering poo anyway? This unit had only conceded 10 points going into the fourth quarter despite a litany of bullshit penalties on both sides. Them over performing is the biggest reason we are still in playoff contention.
