Just said on Fox pregame that Panthers punter is unable to do kick offs or fgs, not sure why u would have a punter that can't do this at all, but good for Bills

 

I always assumed kickers and punters grew up doing both and could do both in a pinch

Obviously its not one loss. Its the fact the loss almost assuredly knocks them out of the playoffs. 

No it does not

Injured his ankle in practice

Panthers auditioning kickers during warmups. Looks like #16 WR  Brandon Zylstra was the best of the bunch.

 Me too, I guess he is Australian and has never done anything but punt

And there's another whole thread about how every year at least one team that makes the conference championship, doesn't make the playoff the following year.  Did all those teams fire their coach.  Steelers did it 3 times, they certainly didn't.  So what.  

 

The biggest difference between this year and last year is record in close games which often involves luck.  If they had lost a couple of them last year and won a couple more this year, could just as easily have the same record.  With a little luck they could have be a one loss team.  More than one thread about that too.

 

What makes you think they'd find a better coach.?  Who would you hire that will be better?   Give up your crusade!

I tend to think execution has something to do with that.

Many teams work on this from training camp onward.  Disaster situations.  Preparation is a key to success.

On nfl fox Sunday Is Howie having makeup issues? Looks really strange lol

There is not a player in the NFL that I dislike more than Newton.  If he went 0-40 with 5 interceptions, 4 fumbles and 10 sacks, I would still somehow hope that he gets even worse.

Or a ref not calling obvious PI....

Brian Burns is susceptible to the run and I like Spencer Brown better as a run blocker than a pass blocker. Let's hope we correctly use that strength/weakness today. No more halfs with zero hand offs.

Ford at RG.

 

I hope Spencer Brown Is Who We Think He Is

This lineup honestly terrifies me. The way things are shuffled that’s essentially 4 backups and Morse…. Mother of god….

Also, what’s goin on on Bradshaw’s face below his left eye? Looks like a big bandage covered with skin colored makeup.

Sacks and the City? Gtfo with this sh!t?
