OMFG what a joke, Bears & Giants get 4 primetime games?

[Hawk]

I hear what y'all are saying, but I still think that especially MNF has such a huge following that sponsorship dollars are in place for years to come!

Seriously? Somebody is confused as to why the Giants and Bears get more primetime games than us?

Considering we haven't signed one star and lost a lot, and TV ratings when we play are low --- I can't see how it shocks anybody!!!

We tend to blow it in prime time anyway. The way I look at it, being shorted two primetime games is an automatic two more wins for us anyway.

p.s. The draft is in Prime Time this year...uh oh

We always play very well on MNF.

Teams with more history and/or big names (like Manning) tend to get at least some prime time consideration regardless of whether they're up or down at the moment. The Cowboys could be 0-16 the prior year and still get prime time games.

Doesn't really bother me that much (there is a certain logic to it). If we get to a more consistent winning tradition, we'll be there. And in a lot of ways, it's actually easier on the teams and coaches to not have to shift around a lot.

The perception right now is that the Panthers are sacrificing competitiveness in the name of saving money, hedging against a lockout that looks more and more likely with each passing day. That is not what is going to get a team on primetime TV in the NFL. It's not a knock on Carolina, I just think that's the reality of the situation.

QUoting the obvious answer. Zero primetime games should surprise no one with how the big cat is handling the team this year.
