I hate how the NFL pretends that regular season and playoffs are totally separate. It’s fine to say “\_\_\_ is a playoff record!”, but when you say “\_\_\_ is an all-time franchise record”, you assume that means every game that franchise has played. But it doesn’t. Bernie Kosar threw for more yards in a playoff game but apparently that doesn’t count for the franchise record, just the franchise _playoff_ record.

Still, hey. Josh McCown. Who’d have thought he’d be throwing 450 yard games and we’d still be barely pulling them out because our defense is complete garbage?

Greg Hardy looked great in his first game back from suspension playing for Dallas  
I wish Carolina had kept him  
Luke Kuechly finally cleared concussion protocol though. The Panthers will need him @Seattle this weekend

And because all those yards usually just lead to short field goals. Seriously this team has trouble putting it in the end zone.
