Not a good time for a special teams fuck up. C’mon D. ---

Damn, Andre Johnson put a hurt on Cortland Finnegan. They both got ejected for fighting in the 4th quarter, but the game was all but over, the Titans lose their 4th in a row, and Andre got a touchdown. Plus he got a couple of nice shots in. ---

Browns forget how to tackle on the last drive again. ---

I think Pete Carroll has a bet that he can win the NFC West with a losing record. ---

Philly just missed an easy TD then promptly got burned on two bad defensive plays and gave up a TD. Bad start ---

The pass rush is playing great and the crowd is in a lather. Hope we can maintain that pace and make all those tackles. ---

I am aware of what they did last week, but that was the Bengals. They’d better start trying to air it out now or this will get ugly. It’s not like they’ll see the ball much, with only one possession in the 1st Quarter. Lucky fucks. Oh how I wanted to heckle you. Nice job Jay! TD Knox. Things are working right now. ---

Nice! INT! That nickle and dime shit was killing us but the whole point is to force them to make 10+ play drives and make errors, finally it happens. Offense need to capitalize and give the defense a rest. ---

Need to get a good kickoff and coverage, not points to end the half. ---

Man, my beloved Panthers can’t catch a fucking break this season. Kasey should have nailed that field goal. ---

Hester broke the wrong way, if he turns it inside he’s got 6. ---

Hester with a big gain on a play where the play clock had expired. Really looking bad for the eagles now. Frustrating game to watch with Chicago getting big plays off flukeyy slips and tipped passes and non calls. ---

> [@Kolga](#): > > Man, my beloved Panthers can’t catch a fucking break this season. Kasey should have nailed that field goal. Er, you kinda caught the break by even having the chance. The game was over. The receiver was down by contact in bounds, yet the officials incorrectly ruled it out of bounds. The 5 seconds left in the game should’ve ran off, game over. It would’ve been an injustice had you made the kick. ---
