Unfortunately for us, that is the absolute last thing Dave Gettleman wants to do.

Kawann Short is going to get franchised! Hopefully that works out better this year :smith:

Yeah, I was going to say "the Colts one was worse" since I think that was in overtime and would've ended the game.

I was coming here to post about how lovely 1st round tight ends have been, but upon researching, it's a pretty shockingly consistent group.

Since Tony Gonzalez until 2016: (*= still active)

Greg Olsen* - 10 seasons, 158 games, 622 receptions, 7365 yards, 52 touchdowns

Oh Greg :allears:

Andy Dalton vs Matt Ryan? Lets see...

Andy Dalton:
games: 95
Record: 56-37-2
Comp: 62.6
Y: 22608
Y/A: 7.2
TD: 142
INT: 85

Matt Ryan:
games: 95
Record: 53-40-1
Comp: 58.4
Y: 22171
Y/A: 7.4
TD: 138
INT: 79

Wow okay those are way closer than I thought....wait, wait, my bad. That second QB isn't Matt Ryan, its Cam Newton.

Yeah, they are pretty close, you're right.


Oh poo poo, you forgot about the 2,600 rushing yards and 30 rushing TD gap though :)

normally i have flashbacks when names are mentioned like this but

i literally do not remember a single thing about Terrell McClain or Sione Fua

They were two DTs taken in the third round in 2011 (since Carolina didn't have the 33rd overall pick that year because of a 2010 Hurney Special). The only reason I remember them is because I was pumped that the rush defense was probably goingto get better that season (lol, it didn't).

Fua flamed out pretty fast, but I think McClain is still in the league (Dallas?)

Coleman almost assuredly yes, Kuechly's still in protocol but judging by full participation he's in the final phase before being cleared.

Not that it'll matter, if the offense continues to be a loving trash fire.

It was a terrible hit and there's no excuse for TD. He should be out longer. But the Gronk punishment set the standard for this season. You gotta literally kill a man to get 2 games.

True...I dunno, Cam and that offense looked like a JV squad today so I don't know how much you can expect out of them next week.

I'm not going to pretend that today's game was a good thing (at all), but there is no way in hell they are going to look that bad next week.

I think Cam will have a chip on his shoulder, and the Panthers getting waxed a couple of times by the Saints should give them some fuel as well.

There isn't any easy route in the NFC this year, so bring it on motherfuckers.

What worries me is that with the losses already and the fact that its win or die is that Rivera just opens up and stops being a conservative little poo poo and Carolina hulks out on us. They have the talent to do so when its clicking. We have the defense at least now to stop it, but egh. Gonna be a good drat game I guess.

The positive for NO is that Carolina's WR corps are barren right now

Sorry we kept you from the 4 seed so we could... be in the postseason at all???

edit: lol in retrospect we woulda been in regardless, all we did was gently caress you out of the division title.

On the downside, we let New Orleans have the division title, so...

Cards game prolly woulda turned out different if the Hawks were playing for something too, so I guess we took care of bidness regardless.

I was resigned to playing Carolina playing the Saints regardless, but I definitely would've preferred doing so at home.

As a Bucs fan who has no bias, I honestly think any given Sunday is in effect and any playoff NFC South team could beat the other. There are no locks.

Or, to put it another way, all three of your teams have an equal chance of collapsing. :twisted:

I will say this, Sean Payton is ballsy in big games. It doesn't always pay off, but he will do some odd poo poo.

Real talk...replace Funchess with Benjamin...do they win that game? I realize the offense took off when ghey dealt Kelvin, but I feel like in a vacuum he makes those catches at the end.

Tough to say. Cam had the tendency to really lock on to Kelvin when he was with the Panthers, and it was to Carolina's detriment more often than not.



Funchess being injured may have played into it a bit (like someone else said), but we'll never know.
