2017 NFL Season Thread

[Grizalltheway]

Can't fill the stadium you currently play in? Why not spend a billion dollars on a new one!

AVG attendance each year(since 2011) has been between 72k-75k. The stadiums capacity in that time has been 73-75k. I'd say that's pretty damn good. The soccer teams that play there also draw huge crowds - as do the college football games.

Every Panthers game I happened to catch come of this season had a LOT of blue seats. Might be the whole tickets sold vs actual butts in seats thing.

Rivera fired offensive coordinator Mike Shula and quarterbacks coach Ken Dorsey yesterday.


In other news - there's growing talk of building a new stadium for the Panthers. One of the most likely sites (if it were to occur) is 6 miles from house near the SC/NC border.

Shula and Dorsey are NOT the problem with the Panthers...

I looked at actual attendance. Probably actual butts in the seats vs who is indoors.
The Silver Club - 2 stories of indoor food/bev with TVs everywhere.

While that looks amazing, I find it awfully silly for people to go there, inside the stadium, to watch the game.
One of my few curmudgeony traits that I've developed recently is that I am 100% happy never going to another NFL game in person again (especially any home Redskins games). They are generally just awful and expensive experiences. I'd rather just watch a game at home, or at a local bar where my entire tab will probably still cost less than a single ticket to a game.

I don't disagree with you.

We all know what the problem is...

And upon closer look at that picture, it doesn't really look that amazing after all. It looks more like an airport lobby converted into a drinking area.

I don't know...it's pretty fucking amazing. But it's expensive and packed.

Packers have hired all their retreads so onto the draft!!!

If the Saints, Steelers, and Cheatriots lose this weekend it would guarantee that a team with no SuperbOwl victories would win it all.

Eagles have NFL championships (three of them) prior to the SuperBowl era, so there's that. The Vikes technically have an NFL championship, but it came in 1969 and they went on to lose the SuperBowl in the last year before the merger.

History schmystery! Nothing before LBJ counts.

Chuck Bernarik, Steve Van Buren, and Norm Van Brocklin are ghosts. And Tommy McDonald is very old!

Vidav even specified "Superbowl" and you guys are still triggered.

Not only are we triggered, but when the Eagles do win a Super Bowl, we will begin only counting Super Bowls won in this millennium as relevant.

Mmm...
Also, Excluding anything pre-2007 Spygate*



I heard a brilliant (and hilarious) debate where a guy explained how the Patriots have ONE Superbowl win
He closed with "It's poorly documented but the Germans also won WWII"

[dbackjon]

Nice to see that player safety & concussion protocol is followed all season - until the playoffs, when a star player needs to get checked out in the 4th quarter & they blow it off. Cam Newton couldn't even make it off the field & he misses one play.....

Doesn't matter in the regular season either


Savage took a hit that caused him to convulse on the field, with the ref standing over him, a few weeks back and got back into the game.

Wilson never should have been allowed to finish the game against the Cards - the SeaScum got fined for that, but the NFL needs to start taking away draft picks.

New England machine is fired up again.

C'mon Jacksonburg next week. Take out the knees.

Come on Jags. Stop those cheating bastards today.

[grizzaholic]

5 more drives like that one and this game will be over.

Fournette just put his foot on Pittsburgh’s neck.

They have been coming back all game though.
