But we can start talking about a few things now.

I had told a few of you ESPN was trying to secure Panthers vs. Redskins as a Monday Night game, possibly the Monday Night season opener.

That won't happen as it will be the Ravens vs. Bengals to kick off the Monday Night season.

Also mentioned they were trying to get a home game on Election Night eve. Won't happen either as, according to CBS Sports, the Saints are hosting a Monday Night game that night

I know its a divisional game, but I cant imagine a less exciting opener. The Bengals and Ravens probably have the fewest fans fans outside of their resepective metro areas than any teams i can think of. gosh, what a letdown.
