NFL 2017-18

[MWHeels]

I believe those at the two oldest franchises to never reach a super bowl either. Not surprising.

That's not a surprise to me either. The Lions are facing a huge decision with Caldwell. I believe the team has peaked under his leadership. The current GM Bob Quinn didn't hire him, but the owner loves him. What they ultimately decide to do with him will demonstrate how committed they are to seriously contending for a Super Bowl title.

Newton starting out 0 for 9. What a pathetic display of offensive ineptitude.

Only being down 7-0 kinda feels like a win right now.

True

Yep, the Browns and Lions are the only teams to finish 0-16. And the Lions are still stuck in futility. They have a few playoff appearances but no playoff wins since the 50's.

Lions won a game in 1991 when they had Barry Sanders.

You're right, I forgot about that one. Still, one playoff win in the last 40-50 years isn't anything to be proud of compared to the recent success of other teams.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Bersin is good for one big catch per game it seems.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Whew. Lucky to be tied at half.

 

[MWHeels]

The Colts have officially fired HC Chuck Pagano. No surprise. I'm sure the Jim Harbaugh rumors will begin soon.

Let the Jim Harbaugh rumors begin

Let the Jim Harbaugh rumors begin

I don't see why he would leave Michigan right now since he really hasn't won anything yet. No Big Ten titles and no playoff appearances. This Colts job would probably be the only one he would even consider at this point with the connection to Luck. If he turns this job down, I think it's safe to assume that he will stay at UM for the long term.

Falcons are such a better team than the Panthers.

I don't see why he would leave either but he never seems to stay anywhere very long. Plus he did play for the Colts and Bears, and they both need a new coach.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Panthers offense is so pathetic. They have to have one of the worst - if not the absolute worst - WR crew in the NFL.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Well the Bucs are doing their best to help, but the Panthers continue to pooch themselves.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Why Shula why do you keep running McCaffrey up the middle ???? Idiotic.

 

[coolwaterunc]

Well, this one is over. Thanks for showing up.

 

[MWHeels]

The Browns will have 2 picks in the top 4 of the draft - #1 and #4

 

[toophly1124]

Cam throwing at a 38% clip. I don’t think that’s good.

They'll still screw it up.

 

[coolwaterunc]

This is the worst I've seen since Rodney Peete.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Cam throwing at a 38% clip. I don’t think that’s good.

Cam's been awful today. The receivers suck too but still he's terribly off target.

 

[TarHeelMark]

This is the worst I've seen since Rodney Peete.

Or dare I say it... Chris Weinke?

 

[carolinablue34]

First thing Cam has to do in the off season is work on his mechanics. Seriously, I know we are short handed, but he easily should have made some of those throws today. He is horrendously bad right now.

He's been the same for 7 years now. He throws too hard and too high; off his back foot, etc.

 

[toophly1124]

Cam will never lead a team to a Super Bowl win. The defense will have to do the carrying.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Right on cue... another high pass and another interception.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Panthers should've rested Newton today since they seemed content with the 5 seed anyway.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Olsen's been a hot mess today. He's usually the most reliable dude out there.

 

[MWHeels]

They'll still screw it up.

Yeah, you're probably right. Worst run franchise in any sport.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Welp. Now that the regular season is finally over, a few things from a Panthers fan perspective:

I only figured they would win 10 games so they exceeded my expectations.

I said when it happened that the BS loss to the Bears would come back to haunt them and it did. Cost them the division.

I was hoping that the Panthers would get to play the Rams instead of the Saints again but it doesn't matter. They have the look of a one and done playoff team anyway.

If they don't upgrade the WR's, the are going to miss any opportunity to get back to the Super Bowl while Newton and the defense is still capable. That window won't be open forever.

Of course the pending sale of the team could lead to any number of consequences, good or bad.

 

[TarHeelMark]

Yeah, you're probably right. Worst run franchise in any sport.

They obviously need a QB but is there anyone coming out that is worth no. 1?

If they are lucky, maybe they can get someone like Barkley and a decent QB.

 

[MWHeels]

Jack Del Rio gone from the Raiders.

It's chucky time in Vegas

Wow the Ravens are about to gag away the playoffs.

I would take a shot at one of the QBs since everyone they have tried recently has failed. Barkley would also be a nice pick, especially if they have a decent oline.

 

[MWHeels]

Giants will probably take a QB with the second pick.

 

[MWHeels]

Bills are in the playoffs for the first time in 17 years.

 

[toophly1124]

 

[MWHeels]

Barkley announces that he's entering the draft.
