Jeremoy Ross update. Took punt and with NO ONE around bobbled it briefly before not getting much of a return.

He was looking upfield for a lane before securing the ball. If a defender shook free a little earlier, its a TO.

It's early.

Atlanta and Matty Champion... screwing up late in games.

I'm listening to the Lions' radio announcer while I clean up a bit. What a laugh they are!

First, they're laying it on thick about how terribly banged up the Lions' secondary is. No talk about how this Lions team has fewer injuries than either of their NFC North rivals, nor any talk of what looks like an uninspired performance.

They're also lamenting Calvin Johnson's absence today, which gets me thinking about Matt Stafford (also known around these parts as "Pad Statford"). We talk a lot about a really good QB making his receivers better, but it's clear in this case with this team that it's Calvin Johnson who makes Stafford look better.

Lots of gnashing of teeth in Detroit, and the obvious answer is to can The Schvantz and bring in someone who will tutor Stafford. Who, by the way, in a local news conference said he wasn't interested in working with any QB guru, that it wasn't "his style." Hmm. Not that he has to say he wants to, but his seemed uninterested, as if he felt he was fine the way he was.

Falcons making a hash of my favorite playoff scenario.

Cam Newton is 1 of 7 for all of 8 yards.

Way to choke so far. I need Atlanta to win this week for a move in the Pro Pickem.

Falcons 10 - Panthers ziltch !

10:00 left in the 2nd Qtr.

Steelers are probably one of the best teams in the AFC right now, but probably won't be in. An 0-4 start will do that to you. They're up 14-0 on Cleveland right now.

Lions and Vikings playing an uninspired game. Weird play calling by Minny - as if they're auditioning guys for next year.

And Cassell sucks.

Otherwise known as The Dead Coach Walking Bowl.

Matty Ice gets a brain fart and toss's a soft pick six inside and below his target.

He's resembling a girl out there again today. He'll find a way to screw up.

I'm so confident in him. He looks like Jim Carey under that helmet. Those shifty eyes.

Can the Carolina Panthers somehow go to sleep on this opportunity?

I banked that they would.

but no....It's Panthers now 14 and Falcons eating their dust 10.

That TD was set up by another IMO Zebra dumb ass miss. A PI call after the ball was on the ground on a deep Cam Newton 'incomplete' pass.

My blood pressure went through the roof on that goof !

Bengals over the Ravens 17-6 @ the half.

Flacco is laboring as he got slammed early in this game.

The Rex Ryan led Jets up on the Dolphins doubling them 14-7.

The Joe Philbin ( I didn't know) Miama Dolphins must be thinking ..next season.

If anyone's interested, Jeremy Ross looks to be sliding back to his more usual ways. He's fair-caught two punts at the seven, with no one around him, then took one out on a kickoff from six yards deep in the end zone, and gotten all the way to the . . . fifteen.

Next chance likely will be his fumble.

or he might bust one for six! That fella has skills.

The Panthers have a solid 1-2 punch at RB with DeAngelo Williams and Mike Tolbert.

Tolbert is a bull ! A strong smaller man.

[woodbuck27]

Matty Ice toss's a long one for a TD! >>> to Roddy White.


He's so amazing. That's a BS Flag and nothing else.

Atlanta being difficult...17 -14 over the eventual winners the Carolina Panthers.

Bet on it ! Matty Ice will....melt.

[woodbuck27]

Miami look bad again today.

Down to a scrappy Jets team 14-7.

If the Jets score another TD that should do it.

The Dolphins look like a hooked pike. Weak.

They don't deserve a playoff spot.

Meanwhile Flacco and the Ravens come stormin' back with a Big '8' and knot the score in Cincy at '17'.

A Jets win and Ravens win >>> Ravens are through to the playoffs.
