McCarron is just locked on Eifert.

Hoyer finally three a decent ball and it got dropped. Would've been a tough catch, but it was catchable and catchable is as good as it's gonna get from Hoyer.

Gotta feel bad for the Texans. Great D, but no QB and their offense was completely sunk when Arian Foster went down. Hoyer was almost unbelievably bad in that 1st quarter. Missing open receivers and thrown an INT and lost a fumble. Both of which were pretty much unforced errors. The throw was terrible and then with the fumble he literally just dropped the ball.

On my way to Charlotte now. First chance to see my Panthers live since moving to Colorado in '07. Last time was the MNF win over the Bucs on 11/13/06.

Bene is getting abused by that quick slant. He's been beaten badly by that route three times on this drive.

Smitty is one of my favorite Panthers of all time, but we're 5-0 right now and seem to have great team chemistry. It sure seems like locker room atmosphere and chemistry was the biggest reason why Gman parted with Smitty in the first place. We're simply playing too well right now and have too much going for us to bring in a volatile personality like Smitty. Also, if you guys will recall, Smitty wasn't Smitty his last season in Carolina. At this point in his career he's no longer a #1. When defenses were able to focus on him, he was pretty well locked down. He's still a dangerous threat, but put him in this WR corps and he's nothing special because defenses would be keying on him.

I'd love for them to run that wide 9 against us. Maybe that'll finally really open up the running game for us. We're stout in the middle of our OL, the wide 9 is weak up the gut. I like our chances against that. If we can establish the running game, we can use play action to help out the OTs against the pass rush.

Their D is pretty damn good, especially considering the positions Bradford puts them in with his turnovers. They're middle of the pack (15th) in yards per game, but they're 6th in points allowed. They'll give up yardage, but they're stingy to give up points. Comparatively, the Panthers rank 7th in both yards per game and points allowed. They've also forced the most turnovers in the NFL (16) compared to our 11 turnovers. The big difference there is that the Eagles have turned the ball over themselves 14 times compared to our 5. Our D should have opportunities to create some turnovers this week.

My good buddy who is a huge Eagles fan and generally knowledgeable football fan sent me this text last night: "Next week should be interesting. Both teams seem to have a top 5 defense and 1 team has a great QB with 1 good weapon while the other team has a poo QB with 6 good weapons."

Other the obviously overlooking TD at OLB, biglou22's post was pretty much spot on.

Damn it. I'll be shocked if Shaq didn't just blow out his knee.

The season is hanging in the balance. We already don't have a WR corps. Without Kalil we don't have an OL either. Really, REALLY hope this isn't serious.

That was the worst defensive series the D has had so far this season. That was pathetic.

Love Cam, but no it's not. If he has put some air under that ball and put it in the endzone for Olsen to run under it was an easy TD. Olsen had to wait on the ball to get there and that let the defender recover.

Now we're rolling on offense. Shula may have woken up. If Cam had put a little air under that ball to Olsen it's 7-3.

The only positive yardage we've gotten has been on trick plays. We need to try to dial up some quick hitter pass plays to get some rhythm.

Whew. Bailed out. Funchess is terrible. Norwood can't be as bad as him. Time to just treat this rookie season like a redshirt year for Funch. He's not ready.

Damn, D. Gotta make the tackle. Had him 2 vs. 1 and still let him drag you to the sticks.

To put it into perspective, Cam has throw 56 INTs in 2044 career pass attempts. Cousins has throw 23 INTs in only 560 attempts. Cam averages 1 INT per every 36.5 pass attempts compared to Cousins 1 INT per every 24.3 attempts.

Today, yes. But the guy has thrown 23 INTs and has only started 13 NFL games. He's an interception machine.

You cannot consistently win with a QB as turnover prone as Kirk Cousins. Simple as that.

fuging redskins... The NFL really needs to clarify this catch thing though.

Since when did Matt Ryan have "great arm talent"?

Nice. Skins back on top.

Blatant pass interference there.
