I wouldn't mind Eric Collins on all our games. If we're going to get Foxs third/fourth string announcers let us have someone we like

Europe (or international) will come eventually. Trying to figure out if it'd best be four teams (two NFC, two AFC) or eight teams (NFC Intl, AFC Intl) and how it'd play out in terms of schedule and playoffs They've already scheduled Australia and Brazil, and looking for Japan. So to isolate to just "Europe" may be premature... unless they've determined that's a logical expansion space given demand. I'd say that it would likely happen with an extension to an 18 week regular season, giving all teams two bye weeks to recover from overseas travel as all teams will be required to play internationally at least one game every year. More likely two. I imagine the NFL schedule maker team (great video of their process posted on the YouTube) have already run through all sorts of example scenarios to see what is/isn't possible in the future

How did the Lions turn things around? Is that a model to follow?

is it too late for a mea culpa and finish building the training facility in SC because it's the right thing to do?

Just checking all the threads going on: We hate Tepper We hate Canales Tepper has been way too involved with football operation Tepper fires way way way too many coaches But we've also noticed that Tepper has been comparatively quiet last season and this season thus far (at least, publicly) with regards to football stuff. Maybe he's turned a page and letting the Football people do their thing? We want Tepper to fire Canales We can't be angry about Tepper firing coaches every 12 months AND saying that he needs to fire Canales in the same breath We can only choose one: which do we pick?

the coach revolving door needs to stop, it's not good for the long-term players to have to constantly adjust to some new personnel

Already with an injury?

They have grass?

128 players on the initial nomination list for the 2026 HoF, including... Jake Delhomme Luke Kuechly Steve Smith Greg Olsen Thomas Davis Ryan Kalil John Kasay Charles Tillmnan Eric Metcalf Lee Woodall https://www.panthers.com/news/former-panthers-among-128-preliminary-nominees-pro-football-hall-of-fame-class-of-2026-luke-kuechly-steve-smith

Are these right? Dan Quinn (ATL) 2020 Dennis Allen (NO) 2024 Matt Patricia (DET) 2020 There's gotta be more than that. Feels like there's more than that

Shows we have more options than when we used to have "give CMC the ball" as our only choice

"Fix your lame ass field" He's not wrong

Saw more.footage of Blank wandering the sideline today than of Tepper over the last three games

Pick had to be in Thurs night I went with Carolina

Hearing "These young QBs are still learning" for the upteenth time this broadcast Tell me you're a horrible TV announcer without telling me youre a horrible TV announcer

It starts with one

it really is. I have hope, but unsure how hopeful would translate to the actual final score

A serious mid-week question: If you were forced to pick who'll win straight-up for this week's game, who's your choice? Carolina or Atlanta? Pros for Carolina: finally, a home game. Carrying over some of the excitement from last week's last 5 minutes. Division rival, chip on our shoulder to prove we can win, etc. Cons: some key injuries, XL. And, well.... (waves hands around) all that other stuff Pros for Atlanta: uh, they won last week? (reason for the question: weekly office football pool has the matchup on the sheet and I'm debating which to go with)

Bills: had a bunch of horrible years Packers: were really really bad in the mid 80s Lions: historically bad, like, forever. Look at them now Dolphins: only team to go 16-0. This week? Bottom of the barrel New England: 132 years of wins under Bill+Tom. Since then, horrible Tampa: laughing stock until their uniform/stadium redesign point is that winning can be cyclical. We all wants wins NOW but we may have to wait for all the pieces to fall into place

It doesn't mention Dalton, but it gives a better idea of what Dalton's role has been in working with Bryce and what the QB like is like week-by-week. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6584516/2025/09/02/nfl-first-round-quarterback-busts/ The bust files: How NFL teams break young quarterbacks Peyton Manning goes on to have comments about Bryce:

Apologies if this was posted already But SI has a fairly solid Stud/Dud list They like Bryce and TMac, for example https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/panthers-studs-duds-week-2-loss-cardinals-bryce-young-dave-canales-xavier-legette
