Cam has really started to turn a corner. Making much better decisions, and being much more efficient. Panther fans can feel they really do have a QB who can lead them to success. Just need to add a few more pieces to the puzzle. Bucs are heading in the opposite direction.

I bet Dashon Goldson is happy that he took that $$$ to play on a winless team instead of staying with San Fran

Never understood the Tampa pre-season hype. I said at the time they are a mirror image of the early Dan Snyder Redskins teams: lots of high priced signings, no depth, no team chemistry, terrible coaching.

Carolina is definitely a playoff contender though. They have a really underrated D and Newton is coming along nicely. They'll definitely challenge the NFC North runner ups for that second Wild Card spot(assuming the 49ers/Seahawks runner up gets the first Wild Card).
Eric Maynor is the worst basketball player I've ever seen.

Cam is a beast. Trading Kaepernick for him was the best fantasy move I've ever made

We'll see if Matt Ryan and his band of misfits can pull out another one.


missing both WRs. I think cardinals take it

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.

Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.

If tomorrow goes the way I believe it will, then the Giants will only be two games out of the division race.

Overall, it is a pretty awful weekend, but Dallas/Detroit could have a combined point total of 90-100 and I wouldn't be surprised.

What is Belichick doing starting Blount over Ridley? Still punishing Ridley for his week 1 fumbling problem? The Pats look like they're in trouble.
