They go 7-8-1 in the regular season, win the division based on a strong finish, beat the Arizona Cardinals in a playoff game but then get knocked out of the playoffs by the Seattle Seahawks.

Thanks, I'm at work and can't catch it.  Enjoy your pie.

I would recommend Apple TV if you have an iPhone. Similar streaming apps as Roku, but also has a mirroring feature. That helps in two ways. First, many of the random assortment of apps that either Apple TV, Roku, Amazon FireStick, etc. don't have CAN be downloaded to a phone, so you can stream from there. Also, with mirroring you can stream just about anything else you can stream from a website, which opens up the possibilities exponentially. 

Thanks for the info. I don't have an iphone but I'm taking in all the info I can. 

Do you have an antennae to watch games with, and if so, how clear is the HD Picture through it?

**Prepare for way too much information** 

Whether you need an antenna depends greatly on your location and your tv. Some areas have better signals, and some tv's have better built-in antennas. If the signal actually comes through, it's crystal clear. Keep in mind that there are sometimes two instances of the same channel for the locals, a standard and an HD (HD usually in the 100's). I'm in Wilmington (first city in the country to go digital-only, and we have no hills), but I'm guessing you're in the QC based on your profile. My advice, in order of time and effort commitment, would be...

1. Go online to see how many over the air channels there are in your area (here's a link for Charlotte: Link), then do an auto channel search to see how many of them you can get. Should be all the major networks (ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC), plus some randoms like 5 or 6 PBS stations. 

2. If you don't get the major ones (Fox being your main concern for Panthers), a cheap fix that works about half the time is to connect your coax (cable wire) back to the wall from your tv, even if you no longer have a cable subscription. I'm not a doctor, but my guess is that it uses the coax infrastructure all over around your house like an antenna. That could be total BS, but it usually gets me another channel or two. That is my current setup here at the beach, and it works just fine. I even have a couple of cable channels randomly(E! and Bravo, which drastically improved my chances of continuing my cheapness without my wife's head exploding). 

3. If none of that works (had this situation when I lived in VA for a bit), go to the store and buy 3 or 4 cheap digital antennas. Hook each one up and do another channel search for each one. Keep the one that gets the most channels, and return the others. Last thing: Those over the air channel guides online will usually tell you where the signal is coming from on a map (again, see link above). It sometimes does actually make a difference if you face a directional antenna toward the source (it looks like a lot of the stations are North-East from most areas of Charlotte). 

Good Luck...

No wonder everybody starts the season thinking they're going to win the Super Bowl. Watching the Tampa Bay highlights I would've thought they were a dynasty in the making

Man, I remember how hyped I was for the 2012 season after that 2011 one they did.

Apparently Kalil was too... taking out the fuging front page ad out for a Super Bowl guarantee.
