Inside the NFL can bite me

[PanthersATL]

so they spend a few host segments praising Cam and the Panthers... That's great, love it.

But when it comes time for the NFL package for the CARvsTB game, all we get are the following:

• a shot of the flamethrower during the Bucs intros
• a shot of a Bucs cheerleader in the rain
• That first interception pick 6
• the fun fumble touchdown run that we all loved

NOTHING about how bad the TB kicker was. Nothing about how awesome Cam was (he really didn't have the numbers on Sunday vs what he normally does, but still)

 

if you're going to spend time commenting on how good we are and that we are one of 6 remaining undefeated teams left this week, at least give us the dignity of a decent clip package

 

at least we don't have to watch next week.

Let's go over what they showed:

1) Flamethrower... Dude, that's fire, that's cool, looks good on TV

2) Bucs Cheerleaders in the Raid ... They could broadcast four straight hours of that and it would be quality programming.

3) Pick Six Interception ... Woot! Go Team!

4) Fun Fumble ... Instant Classic, will be on Football Follies and blooper reels for years to come.

Beyond that, there really wasn't that much of interest if you aren't a Panthers fan. 14 games or so to cover in an hour, with 12 minutes of Phil Simms blathering on means there's only so much time for each game. And that sure wasn't the marquis match up. I mean, would you want a long video piece on the Cleveland/San Diego game? Nah... who would?

Now the Seahawks game... that one will be worth a longer look. Especially if there are cheerleaders in the rain again. Can't get enough of that!

sometimes they dumb down panther highlights packages because america doesn't care, but for the most part there haven't been any highlights worth showing. It's always gonna be cam doing something, the defense getting a turnover and the final box score. Nobody living in new mexico will ever care about the panthers and want to see a 5 min highlight package of them beating the bucs

I liked that show so much more when it was Collinsworth, Sapp, Simms and Brown.  I don't like the new guys as much and I don't get having Brandon Marshall as one of the hosts.  He seems like a nice guy and great receiver but I just don't like having a current player on the show.  I'm just turning into an old codger I guess.

Honestly, I really don't see the problem.

You have much to learn grasshopper. 

The road goes on forever and the party never ends.

We are getting too sensitive now. We have started to get SOME recognition now so the bitching should be going down some.

[Steves89]

Sure that sucks. But isn't that pretty much par for the course? Their highlight videos are usually cut to show everything but football.

[Khyber53]

Len Dawson and Nick Buonocotti (sp???) now that was a show...

[PanthersATL]

Totally agree that the show on HBO was great, and the version on SHO with Collingsworth et al was significantly better than the crapfest they have going this year -- but Inside the NFL on SHO has regularly ignored the Panthers, with some episodes NOT EVEN SHOWING A CLIP, or we're relegated back to the final 2 minutes of the show.  

Not every game can be stellar from a clip/storyline perspective, but the NFL (who helps produce the show) should have some perspective on who they should be making proper sizzle reels of as the season progresses:

• Panthers are one of six undefeated teams left
• Cam is being lauded as playing at his best
• Norman is having a stellar season thus far, as is the rest of the defense (FANTASY POINTS!)
• Accolades are being tossed our way from a number of sources
• When the hosts of the show talk A LOT about the team, the "show that the players watch" should try to be a little more even with their coverage.

Even the Atlanta/Houston game got a decent reel, and that was a total blowout.

Inside the NFL is still a show?
