ATL: Week 8
We'll see how tonight goes, but I think Carolina may get the 6 seed this year.

Re: ATL: Week 8
Schiano has to be gone after the season, right?

I'm not sure they will even wait that long.

Hopefully he's out of the league for good.

Re: ATL: Week 8
Did anyone actually think Schiano would be successful in Tampa when his hiring was announced? It seemed like a horrible decision then and seems even more idiotic now. You don't hire college coaches unless they are among the top 3-5 in the country and even then it can be a crap shoot. Buffalo will learn this same lesson.

Cam is such an incredible talent. He is going to be scary good if they ever put a real team around him.

Re: ATL: Week 8
He's got a defense, OK line, and RBs. WRs are the only issue but they are digging out of cap hell. I love watching Scam play.

Re: ATL: Week 8
Really wish Thursday Night Football would get a good game. When Browns/Bills can be argued to be their best game so far this season, something is wrong. I suppose if we end up getting more than one game on Thursdays, better games are bound to happen but just give me one good one instead. That or just get rid of Thursday night games. Bengals/Dolphins next week is a bit better at least.

Re: ATL: Week 8
Cam is still only 24 too. If they ever get him someone to throw to besides an aging Steve Smith and a decent coach they will be good.

Actually, looks like Marrone isn't doing too bad though it is early

Re: ATL: Week 8
Cam has weapons, he could use another wideout for depth, but Greg Olsen and Steve Smith have been consistent forever, Lafell has developed into a pretty consistent reciever too and with Ted Ginn's straight line speed and Cam's unlimited arm strength they've even got him looking like a decent deep ball threat. What's held them back the last couple of years is a mix of Ron Rivera going too conservative on play calls and Cam trying to do too much and making too many crucial mistakes.
The offense is the type that will beat you by wearing out the opposing defense on multiple long drives, winning the line of scrimmage and punching you in the mouth with the 3 headed monster of Cam, Tolbert and Williams, not a team thats going to spread it 5 wide and pick up huge chunks of yards at a time. The offensive line struggles to protect Cam in the passing game sometimes but they are very good in run protection and Cam has done an excellent job this year not trying to force anything and keeping himself within the flow of the offense, as someone who's been a Panther fan for longer than I'd like to admit it's been great to see Cam take the steps forward he has this year after having a pretty shaky 2012 season overall.

Favre Admits He Has Experienced Memory Loss
I've always thought it was going to be interesting to see how Favre fared after his football career ended. He played so many games and took so many nasty hits that you'd have to imagine he is going to experience most, if not all, of the health problems you see from aging NFL players. As crazy as it may sound, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he passed away in the next 10 years.

He's also aged pretty horribly. 44 years old isn't even old and he looks like he's in his 50s. But he does look like he's still in good shape.

I hope not though I agree he looks old for his age

Re: ATL: Week 8
My dad is 20 years older than Favre and looks younger than him.

Re: ATL: Week 8
Fabre kicked the drugs and heavy drinking at a fairly young age but he partied HARD in his prime.
