Cam Newton and Panthers pulverize the Redskins

The Falcons are the only above-.500 team they play the rest of the year, though a fully healthy Cowboys team could give the Panthers trouble.

“There are some things we have to start getting prepared for as far as the coaches are concerned, and the players will come in at 2 p.m. and we will introduce Dallas to them”.

A dramatic 16-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday was marred by season-ending injuries to quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Justin Forsett. It just seemed yesterday, two major, major penalties went against us and people are frustrated by that.

Carolina will take it easy on the practice field this week, too.

“Whether he is handing the ball off or he is running the ball or whether he is throwing it, he understands that”.

On Washington’s second drive, however, Cousins wouldn’t miss Jackson again.

Part of that though is that Cam Newton is not his entire team. “I know we scored a lot of touchdowns, and that’s obviously what you’re looking for”. Only two teams have a worse record than Dallas, and both are in the AFC. We’ve been there – Panthers fans have been there.

Outside of the grand ludicrousness of saying that moment “turned the game” let’s look at those that did. Carolina’s defence had five sacks and established a franchise record holding the Redskins to 14 yards rushing on 12 carries. All he can do is smile-yes, that infamous insincere smile-and keep helping his team win games. Not your little interception that got pulled back. Breeland led the Redskins with 11 combined tackles, including one for loss, and Culliver (South Carolina) made five tackles. The undefeated Panthers aim to continue the best start in franchise history when they host the resurgent Washington Redskins on Sunday.

I’d be more inclined to believe someone like Greg Hardy or Michael Vick if they said that their past influenced a ref’s bias against them but saying the “Redskins” name is costing you calls? Sunday was an example of what this team can do when all its elements are clicking on defense.

The Vikings had their five-game winning streak ended by a Packers team that clearly wasn’t ready to concede a division it has won four straight times. On most of those sacks, Cousins never had a chance. I like who they are on the defensive side. “Act like it!! We give up our bodies up and take years off our life for our brother that we sweat and bleed with during the week to get screwed by a call”. Even if he does get healthier, it’ll be tough for Gruden to create some sort of role at safety when he has better options available at that position too. In a series of minor moves Monday, the Redskins signed TE Je’Ron Hamm from the practice squad to the active roster, waived TE Anthony McCoy, signed LBs Derrick Mathews and Lynden Trail to the practice squad, and released CB Deveron Carr from the practice squad.

TEXANS 24, JETS 17: T.J. Yates tossed two touchdown passes to DeAndre Hopkins, and Alfred Blue caught a scoring pass from receiver Cecil Shorts as Houston (5-5) beat visiting NY (5-5). Cam made sure to get him involved early and it paid dividends late. “There’s not really much to talk about”.

If you throw five touchdowns you’re going to be pretty good in my book. That’s completely unacceptable no matter how you slice it. Rivera wanted the comfort of a four-score game before sitting Cam Newton and several others.

Blaine Gabbert threw for 264 yards and a touchdown for San Francisco (3-7). That is absolutely bananas. He’s at 3,925 yards as a Panther. While the bulk of the attention has focused on the calls, it’s not as if every player on the team blamed the officials.

“It’s going to be fun, get to see an old teammate”.

What I didn’t like……

The Titans sacked Newton on three straight plays early in the second half, but the Tennessee offense could not capitalize when given the ball.
