Jimmy Graham was lying on the ground well after that play had ended.  Didn't look good.

That's on Brees.  He saw that his fullback was going to pick up the rusher, but he gave him almost no room to hold the block.  When the fullback got pushed backwards like a foot, he got so close to Brees that his own hand hit the ball out of Brees' hand.  Drew has to step back a foot or two from where the blocker was setting up so something like that doesn't happen.
 
Meanwhile, Florida State getting pounded by Louisville right now.

Is the Carolina media bashing their FO for wasting a year of Cam's prime by not providing him adequate protection and weapons?
 
Carolina will need to be in on Dez or Demaryius if they hit free agency.

They don't have much cap space next year. Charles Johnson is owed $20 MM, $14 MM dead. Ryan Kalil, Jonathan Stewart, and DeAngelo Williams combine for about $27 MM in cap space but they don't save money by cutting any of them. At least Greg Hardy ($13 MM not to play for them) will be gone.

Is Cam Newton the most overrated player in the league?
No?
 
Seriously, I think Newton's popular rating matches how good he actually is. I would think he's generally considered pretty good but not elite, which I think is accurate. He has a pretty brutal supporting cast this year but is still putting up respectable numbers.

For someone who gets tackled so often, I can't believe how badly Newton braces himself when he's landing.  His hands and wrists are going to be a mess.

That was really impressive. The blonde in the stands I mean. The td run was cool too.

Tough DPI call in end zone vs. Panthers. Same officiating crew that picked up DPI flag vs. CAR in EZ last year on final play of NE-CAR game.

Poor people on the West Coast... they have to watch Oakland-Seattle while the rest of the country gets Pats-Broncos.

The Redskins bus got in an accident on the way to the stadium. You cannot make this stuff up.

More than that - the accident was caused by the two Skins buses crashing into each other.

Yet another unsuccessful drive by Washington.

The Washington version of the butt fumble?

I am shamelessly ripping off this one. Well done.

Why the fuck isn't that a personal foul for going low on RGIII?  That seemed like the absolute textbook definition of it.

Miami marches down the field easily to go up 7-0.  Chargers have been getting too much love.  Can we all agree the Chiefs are a better team?
 
If today does not go well, we may be worrying about Miami a lot more than initially expected.
