We have a lot of potential primetime games next season

No way they would put Denver primetime against another team with a losing record. The same for the Panthers. After the stinkers they got on primetime this year, they can't take any chances next year. And I fail to see how Denver/Panthers would be that interesting. I'm a Panthers homer and even I don't find that game that interesting.

Two of the most hyped QBs is what make it a prime time game, the other 42 players, or the teams they play for, don't even matter.

San Diego-Carolina seems like it would be a potential ESPN/NFLN game. Rivera/Chud coming from our staff and the potential Rivers returns to North Carolina angle (unless you guys go to SD again in 12 cause of the separation of going to SD/OAK in the same year)

As far as I know, both SD and Oakland would come here because we played on the road against both of them in 2008. Our AFC road games would be against Denver and KC.

Does it annoy anyone else to be playing Arizona every single year? They're like a non-team, it's impossible to get up for these Cardinals games as fans.

Although since the Cards came back to win, the Rams would be the ones that would be coming here next year instead of Arizona. Still half the season to play though.

They changed it in 09 so that East Coast teams won't have to travel to OAK and SD in the same year when they play the AFC West as well as having to travel to SF and SEA when playing the NFC West.

Sorry but that isn't how it works. The NFL isn't going to schedule two losing teams playing each other for primetime. Cam was hyped big time and the Panthers have zero primetime games this year because of how weak they were last year. If the Panthers don't win more games, it isn't even a lock they will get any next year.

The Golden Calf of Bristol may not be in the league next year.

wtf am I reading?

err...no. 99% of people thought Cam would be a bust or take years to get ready.

Wanna see big time hype? Look at Andrew Luck. Already crowned the next Peyton Manning.

They called Cam the next JaMarcus Russell.

When was our last primetime game? 2009 versus Vikings?

Gah, how could I forget the nightmare that was last season @ Pitt. I don't think Thursday games really count though. NFL Network isn't even on basic cable.

We better get atleast 2 MNF games and 1 SNF game. :D

Unless Luck goes to the Colts, he will not get a primtime game next year either. I'm sorry but people thinking the Panthers are getting 4 or 5 primetime games are living in a fantasy world. Right now they are sitting at 2-6. Unless they have a big second half of the season, I wouldn't count on any next year.
