He has a lots of ups and downs. I think a lot of his downs is the uncertainty he has with his shitty o-line (rightfully so). The terrible o-line has definitely hindered his developement

They've got decent guys in skill positions, and their D isn't too bad when healthy. You have to figure they invest a little to get younger and better up front this coming draft.

Kinda felt the Pats werent going to win this one. If there was ever a team that needed a bye week, its the Pats. Hopefully the key guys arent too rusty by the time they hit the field again.
Missing Edelman and Amendola is like ripping out half the playbook. These short term injuries make a team look alot worse than they are. You don't wont to revamp too much and teams try to put placeholders in who may or may not be good fits for the people the offense was planned around. Kind of like the hellish purgatory Dallas was trapped in all season. Those Dallas quarterback subs werent as bad as they looked, they were just bad trying to run an offense custom built for Tony Romo. But injuries are a part of the game, so, meh. It all comes around to everyone. Missing our 2 starting safeties didnt help much either.
Im still pretty sure Pats will get at least to the AFC Championship and I dont think there is a team in the AFC that can beat a healthy Patriots team in Foxboro.
The NFC looks interesting though. Cards look fucking terrifying. They just fly around from every direction. Arians is brilliant. If they can keep this level of play up, they will beat everyone they play, including the Pats. Would be a great game though.
Panthers are quickly learning what happens when you cant shut your fucking mouth in front of the press and act like a bunch of 16 year old idiots in front of grown men who remember when people disrespect them. The Patriots try mitigate that as much as they can by going overboard with praise and never saying anything not out of the "Belichick Handbook of Handy But Meaningless Cliches" (2003). Panthers? Not so much. If you dont think it motivates these guys when they hear "Hey, you want fucking Cam Newton dabbing in front of your family and tossing a ball to your kid?" Carolina is going to get everyones best game every week if they dont learn to keep a lower profile. Or, you know, they can just keep reading from Rex Ryans "Stupid Shit Guaranteed to Motivate Your Opponents"
Case in point. Panthers were blowing out the Falcons last time they played and took this picture during the 4th quarter, while the game was being played.
Today....
KEEP DABBING YO!

I'm watching, just doing other stuff too. Game hasn't really been competitive. Didn't really expect it to be either.

Remember when people were saying Seattle had the #5 seed locked up? I was pretty sure Vikes would beat Bears and Giants and leave it up to the last week. Only way Seattle ends up as the #5 seed now is if they manage to beat Arizona in Arizona and Green Bay beats Minnesota. Seattle definitely could beat Arizona, especially since Carolina plays at 1 and if they win Arizona will have nothing to play for. They might rest people. Would you play Carson Palmer when you didn't have to? Then again, they could control the way the brackets would be set up if they think Seattle being the #6 seed benefits them more. If they were the #2 seed only way they'd face the #6 seed is in NFC championship game.
Don't know what to expect next week with Green Bay and Minnesota though.

Not sure what to think either, everyone thought Green Bay was a shoo-in for division champ but they looked like total dogshit today. Hard to judge Minnesota from this game because they're playing a crippled, eliminated team led by Eli "Pick 6" Manning. The game is in Green Bay next week so I'd give the slight edge to the Packers if they manage to patch up their O-Line issues this week.
I was hoping for Green Bay to get #3 seed and Seattle to get #6 seed but I'm not so sure after today.

Funny thing is Vikings were on a hot streak last time they played too and Green Bay had lost a couple...but they handled them pretty easily. GB just got the piss beat out of them today though so I just don't know. Vikings will already have a playoff spot clinched as well, it'll just be about being the division champs and getting to host a game.
Funny thought, Vikings winning next week would ensure they would host Seattle (as #3 v. #6)...Seattle beat the shit out of them. Do they want revenge, or look for easier match up against Green Bay again or the Skins?
