We just made their 32nd ranked run D look like it was last in the league! Dominance!

Still progress, though. Don't forget the running game was atrocious against the Colts who have a terrible defense, too. CJ has started to figure it out the last two games.

Hard to believe, but the Titans are still only one game out from being tied for the best record in the AFC. Hanging around....

Worst game I've seen the Panthers play since 1995. The penalties resembled Pearl Cohn in 1997. Their miscues and mistakes were embarrassing. And the special teams...WTF??!!!

I don't even think Tennessee played all that well. They had some silly mistakes, and there was a point where Hasselbeck had awful stats.
Still, that spy they used on defense seemed just enough to rattle the Carolina offense. I can't believe that worked so well. Byron Bell (our RT) looked like Dallas Thomas out there. I hope Cam can wake up today and completely forget that yesterday happened. I don't even think there's anything to learn from it. That Tennessee defense looked like they were playing red-rover with 1st graders.

Congrats on the win. I'm just sick over the way my team played. I can't handle watching another poorly coached football game this year. The Vols and Panthers are taking years off my life.

Good news for you is, your team plays the Colts in 2 weeks, guaranteed win for you all. I am trying to figure out who the worst coach is, Caldwell for the Colts or Dooley for the Vols, it's a toss up.

No, I 100% agree with you. That's been my position all weekend. But, as a Tennessee football fan, you can understand how it's hard to let go of my pessimism.

This is not true. I am actually starting to believe that the Colts are tanking. I always had the position that nobody could get away with intentionally tanking and keep it under the table, because you'd have to convince the coach and players, with their jobs on the line.

The players may have just lost interest, and Caldwell may just be a terrible coach (duh). I do think that if Peyton is in a position to come in and possibly win a couple games for the Colts late, there's no way management allows it. They'll cite his safety or something, even if doctors say theres 0% chance of exacerbating his injury.


I think that the Panthers, with an outstanding, borderline-proven, rookie QB present a much more interesting question of what they would do with the #1 pick. How do you trade Cam after the talent he's shown? I guess they would trade the pick or Luck for a bunch of other picks and/or young talent and try to rebuild the rest of the team around Cam. They can probably build a pretty great team with what they could get from a Luck trade.

I don't think NFL players could be convinced to tank games. This team is just terrible and the coaching sucks, that has been proven even when Peyton was healthy. Even if they did let Peyton come back, which I don't think they would, with all the time has missed I could not see him coming right in and doing much better.

The Colts have this first pick locked up. Every other team in the league has at least 2 wins.

But if the Cam Newtons can out suck the Peyton Mannings, errr oh I'm sorry they changed their name to the Colts, then Carolina will hold the Luck tie-breaker. It will be a tight race again IF that happens.

Would they trade Luck?

I am unsure. I think it depends on how Cam plays the rest of the season. I haven't watched Carolina play until yesterday this season. I'd only seen the highlights. I thought that Cam was mainly a prolific passer who ran from time to time, but that spy defender we had on him yesterday seemed to rattle him.

If Cam can overcome it, and return to his monster passing game, I don't think you risk trading him away for an unproven prospect. If the Titans somehow exposed him for a one trick pony that can only pass when he's successful breaking off big runs, then they may consider it.

I don't even think it was the spy that got to him, but it seems like we had good pressure on him all day. I'm not sure what his pass protection has looked like up to this point. Maybe he just had a bad game.

Carolina has won 2 games I believe so even if some how the Colts get lucky and win (which I highly doubt) then the Panthers still have 1 more win than the Colts.

They won by a huge margin and they did shut down Cam coupled with my seeking a positive about football this year.

The defensive line played well. They had moved the ball on everybody they had played up until Sunday. Carolina is a bad team though. Atlanta is going to be a handful this week.

If we don't lose to the Falcons by two tds I'll be surprised.

I've been watching Atlanta weekly, as I have Matt Ryan and Roddy White on my fantasy team.

They are a good, not great, team. I would be surprised if we win, but I'm not expecting a blowout. It really depends on which Titans team shows up. If CJ shows yesterday wasn't a fluke, I think we keep it close.

There's no way Indy wins two games, which they'd have to do to lose the pick to Carolina. And, for the record, there's no way Carolina trades Newton. He's the one bright spot on this team so far this year. He's far more proven than Andrew Luck is at the pro level
IF something crazy happened and the Panthers ended up with that pick, they'd definitely trade it for everything under the sun. If Carson Palmer can get what he got for the Bengals, then Luck would score a team a monster trade.
Also, the Panthers are not the worst team in the league...by far. They just played like it on Sunday. Everyone's allowed to have their worst game at some point, right? Remember, they have come closer to beating the Packers than anyone else. Except for the Tennessee game, they've led in the fourth quarter of every game this year. Just can't close. That will come with experience for this rookie QB and coach.
