Football is played over four quarters, not three, and that fumble was forced!

I'm just saying that the game was close until the end, with the Panthers driving late to take the lead back until that fumble.

Both offenses were bottled up for the most part, but Wussy made more plays to win (+clutch forced fumble) and that's why you got the W.

I imagine a second game in Seattle would be played very similarly.

 

[AngmarsKing701]

They won't have a last place schedule or the NFC East to inflate their win total so 8-8 seems possible.

Hmm AFC East and NFC West next season, with extras vs Steelers and Titans. Could get to 8 or 9. It will be interesting to see if they are the next one year wonder that has a massive decline though.

 

[Goro Majima]

For all the crap I give Bears fans, it's known that Bears fans can go to Green Bay and Green Bay fans to Chicago and generally there won't be any issues....just a little banter at most.

Jimmy Haslam has spent/will spend $50 million firing staff

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

So dumb. NFL players apparently get paid to lick ESPN's balls.

Such absolute bullshit. Can't he say he has anxiety or some shit so he doesn't have to talk?

 

[jello44]

I got booed/heckled/jeered at Minute Maid Park for rooting for the astros a couple of years ago when we were playing the Cardinals. How about them apples. Some people are jerks at games, not sure why. It's a shame if Centurylink has an overabundance of them.

You were booed at the HOME STADIUM of the team?

bestfansstloius lives up to its name.

Suck

 

[eznark]

So the Panthers weren't leading that game going into the fourth quarter and Deangelo Williams didn't have a fumble that completely changed the complexion of that game?

Football plays change football games?!?

How so? It's part of his job to talk to the media. It doesn't mean he has to be a great quote, hell he could answer every question "yes" "no" but he has a duty and responsibility to talk to the media through the season. It's the same for every athlete.

My man.

Hito's argument was that the game wasn't close. If Williams doesn't fumble the ball there, the Panthers have 1st and goal on SEA 8 where a touchdown takes a 14-12 lead with 5 minutes left.

 

[Striker]

Williams, and Peters talking shit after the game saying the Saints were not better, Sorry bros but you guys lost the game, so yes they were better then you last night. I might be an eagles fan, but I am not stupid either.

Reminds me of all the whining Clay Matthews did when the Giants kicked their ass.

No, I said it wasn't AS close as it would seem from the score. Carolina more or less collapsed at the end, at least defensively if not offensively. Panthers fans keep saying "oh man, if only he didn't fumble", when it wasn't pure happenstance to begin with and then you lost on account of failing to keep us from marching toward your endzone on the final drive. If it could have gone better for you, it could have gone better for us as well.

 

[eznark]

Hito's argument was that the game wasn't close. If Williams doesn't fumble the ball there, the Panthers have 1st and goal on SEA 8 where a touchdown takes a 14-12 lead with 5 minutes left.

And if Wilson throws ten touchdowns the Seahawks have 70 more points. What's your point?

Looks like Hundley is returning to school.

Must've heard the Browns were interested.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I need every top QB to come out this year so Watkins or Dennard falls to Detroit.

 

[squicken]

kas was right. Lions want Whiz and he views them as the best job, but there will be other suitors

How are the Texans going to beat Andrew Luck with Blake Bortles? He 75% of Andrew Luck in every way. The answer is John Football. He may flop horribly but he's used to the college game of needing 40 points a game to win. Risk big win big. Don't be the same old Texans and play it safe

In BOB you trust. Or he will kick your ass!

BOB hires a guy, Jim Bernhardt , to just tell him when he is fucking up.

The anti-Kubiak.

 

[BlackGhost]

Oh well, would of been nice if he came out just to have more qbs. But honestly he's not as good as some of you guys were making him out to sound, he's not ready for the NFL. Let's hope Bortles comes out .

Evan Silva ‏@evansilva
ESPN's Chris Mortensen said Joe Philbin & Jeff Ireland's jobs both "appear to be safe" but there is "tension" between the two.

sorry Phins bros

 

[Crisco]

Was hoping the Panthers would get the Eagles but the "winner" of Ice Bowl II will do.

:jnc John Football

definitely using that one, squicken.

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter
Love Smith’s contract contains the clause that gives him final say over all personnel matters on Buccaneerss final 53-man roster.

Which means he gets control of the offense. Congrats, Saints-Panthers-Falcons fans

As @mortreport reported, former Titans HC Mike Munchak will interview today for the Penn State HC job.

Why do I get this funny feeling Munchak refused to make those firings on purpose?

 

[Wes]

Hundley nooooo

Mariota, it is down to you to change your mind now.

You will Johnny Football and you will like it.

What kind of assistants was he going to attract when he was a one year lame duck? What good coordinator would come there just to be fired a year later? Titans ownership is as stupid as the Budster

 

[Himynameischris]

sorry Phins bros

Ahahahahah.....fml

I just have the feeling that Whisenhunt will end up the same as Schwartz in Detroit. Don't know why.

 

[B For Bendetta]

Awwwwwwww yeah, work is closed! I get to talk shit to you guys all day! Go Pack! Go Chargers!

 

[MechDX]

There was talk he was always wanting to go back to PSU. Planned all along IMO

At least it should make JNC somewhat happy

 

[BlackGhost]

You will Johnny Football and you will like it.

Thanks bro, I hope so too.

Losers lose

 

[squicken]

That probably is true. Either way, it's best for the team that he left. Now they can fully start over, though the owner already said he likes Locker, so you have to wonder if that is a condition of the job?

 

[BigAT]

Hundley must have been really upset with the report he got from the Draft Advisory Board:

 

[Grover Cleveland]

And if Wilson throws ten touchdowns the Seahawks have 70 more points. What's your point?

There's not that big a gulf between us and Seattle and if we play them again, I would give us a good shot to beat them even in Seattle.

That's all.

Mike Garafolo ‏@MikeGarafolo 19m
Good info from @mortreport on Munchak: Will interview w/ PSU, was offered a multi-yr extension from TEN if he made a bunch of staff changes.

Chris Mortensen ‏@mortreport 16m
Miik Munchak is scheduled to interview today with alma mater, Penn State, after turning down a hefty raise and extension offer from Titans.

"Ill do it but I need ol #8 as a vet back up! Send that Warmack kid down to Houston!"

oh my

 

[NihonTiger90]

Teboooooooooooooooow

He is becoming one with the ESPN now.

Also, I had a feeling Whisenhunt would be in Detroit but I think this is Mariucci 2.0.

 

[d[-_-]b]

lol Chiefs fans, that was rough I didn't even watch the game, checked the score you guys were on cruise control with a 24-7 lead, didn't expect that collapse....

 

[squicken]

.

Ah, thanks Bowser. That is different than what was rumored first. Does seem like Mech's theory is right, then

 

[ShaneB]

Missing NFL Countdown Phooey.

Ah well, just hoping for another crazy day of Football.

 

[Wes]

You will Johnny Football and you will like it.

3 QBs and we're picking 4th? I bet the Rams trade out with the Raiders or Vikings. Just our luck.

Lots of bad injuries for them that game.

Though mostly to offense. Their defense collapsed. The Saints were down 5 DBs vs Philly and held on.

Might be a change in KC to DC
