Ten - w (This better be a win and I hope we're not the 1 team CJ torches this year)

@det - l (This is actually winnable)

@ind - w (annihilation time)

@tb - w (riding high from the Indy game, TB is looking sloppy this year)

atl - w (Revenge back at home)

@hou - l (This could be our one blowout loss this year)

tb - w (Sweep those tampons)

@no - w (Brees in for one half)

We play Atlanta here for a classic battle of 85 & come Week 17, the Saints may rest if they've clinched the NFCS. The Packers will obviously be 1 in the playoffs, NO will be locked at 2 and will probably rest Brees the second half.

we have a legitimate shot at 8-8

Wow. I guess I get what he is saying but with the Titans & Colts among the final 8 games he should be disgusted if we only win 4. We have way more ability than that.

Cause Rivera understands the importance of offense efficiency and strength of schedule.

For the Panthers to win it requires that we do not turn over the ball or it requires we score 30 points when we have a negative turnover margin. Cam's got one of the worst interception rankings in the league. This would require we play the worst defenses and offense in the league. We have one of the most inefficient offenses in the league. So it requires we play one of the mos inefficient offenses and defenses in the league.

So the only two teams we really have a chance of beating based on how we played in the first 8 games is: Tampa Bay and Indianapolis.

We are ranked 21st in offense scoring efficiency. Tampa is 24th. Very close but Josh Freeman throws less picks than Cam so it depends on who gets lucky on that day, our D or their D.

Indianapolis is 30th in the league in scoring efficiency. Great chance of winning here.

We only beat Jacksonville, 29th in scoring offense and Washington 32nd in scoring offense. So Rivera knows the deal. Our O sucks.

What Rivera's saying is he doesn't see our offense's efficiency improving much this year if he's setting the standards that low. And it goes hand in hand with what I believe. Cam's standards are set incredibly low.

They were never to win as a rookie. They were to "perform" in the NFL. He proved he can perform in the first 2 games. Mission Accomplished. Job well done there. He "proved" his critics wrong that he can "perform". This is what this year was all about.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
