Prime time Games

[rainwater]

I wish they'd give us a stinkin' Sunday night flex THIS year. Come on NFL.

NBC isn't flexing to a 4-8 team no matter how exciting we think it would be. They want playoff implications for both teams.

Nvm wtf was I thinking

[rainwater]

I count first 8 teams. Division is 6. 8+6 = 14. Bye week is 15... where's 16

Lockout didn't change 16 games right

Two intraconference games are based on our record this year. So if we are 3rd in the division. We play 2 games against 3rd place division teams from other teams in the NFC.

You know bout damn time we play Dallas at home

I had it wrong

I forgot we play 16 opponents when I only seen those first 8. So we play the same finisher as us in those divisions it say, so its not set. Makes sense now

14 of 16 games are set and not based on record. This is why your record has little affect on the strength of schedule for the next year.

[PhillyB]

we will get a PT game against denver, the saints, and one of the NFCE teams (probably cowboys.) bank on it.

probably a few flex games at the end of the season so the world can see us go undefeated.

Makes sense why Redskins keep popping up

Two of them will be determined after the season, we will play the two other nfc teams with the same divisional rank as us. Probably the cardinals and the bears.

BWHAHAHAHA aren't you the Byron Bell is a future great starter for us guy?

The Golden Calf of Bristol is going nowhere but Denver.

The Cowboys lost their biggest fan, The Golden Calf of Bristol will play for 800 years.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

I would probably say we'll be on primetime Cam vs. The Golden Calf of Bristol in the Denver game and Cam vs. Vick in the Philly game. We also play the Giants and Cowboys and NFC South games are always fun. I think we may get 2 but wouldn't expect too much.

Philly against Vick and the dream team

[dpm0409]

So when is it that the official schedule for the 2012-13 season will be released? All this talk has got me interested to see what we end up with as far as prime time goes.

[Seltzer]

I will be really surprised and dissapointed if the Panthers don't have at least 3 prime time games next year.

Offense= Ratings, plain and simple. Biggest reason TV execs have avoided the Panthers the last few years.

Second what someone else posted about most likely PT games...

1) CAR- DEN (Newton/The Golden Calf of Bristol, Fox playing his old team, etc). A lock

2) CAR-NO (Match-up of the up-and-coming team vs. the defending division champ, 2 explosive offenses). TB has little national appeal, watching ATL is like watching paint dry

3) CAR- DAL/PHI (Leaning towards Philly b/c of Newton vs. Vick, but could see Cowboys since they are always a draw and so is Newton)

CAR & DEN will probably get the most prime time love of any teams outside of the NFC/AFC East big market teams and the Packers, Saints, Steelers b/c of Newton & The Golden Calf of Bristol

Really even 4 PT games is not out of the question. Especially if the Panthers finish strong down the stretch.
