Until the injury news about AJ Green I didn’t give the Panthers much of a shot @ Cincy this week. I still think it’s a tough road game but this helps for sure. Both teams have a bunch of injuries, but I think it will be a competitive game. ---

My Saints may manage to hold Bye to only 400 yards of offense, but it’s no lock… ---

The Eagles-Giants game will be interesting…Manning may have a banner day, or may throw 3 picks… Foles may have a banner day or may throw or fumble away the ball 3x… Should be a high scoring one. ---

Confident Denver and Green Bay will help us out. ---

Why is an AFC v. AFC game on Fox? (NE v. Buff) ---

Weird that the Bears/Falcons is a late game, unless they thought there was a potential Braves playoff game conflict. ---

I really hate when they throw a pass interference flag 3 seconds after the play was over, usually after the receiver was begging for it. Look, dipshit, if you didn’t see interference during the play, you have no business deciding to throw the flag a while afterwards. Seems to happen all the time. ---

Joe Flacco is having quite a 1st half… 5 TD passes partially into 2nd quarter… ---

When coverage breaks down and a player gets totally uncovered, Hoyer lobs a punt at them so they have all day to catch it. It ends up looking pretty silly - he can thread a ball into a 2 inch window on a slant sometimes, but then a guy who’s completely uncovered has to stop and wait 4 seconds to get the ball. I guess the idea is that you should make sure you get those easy completions rather than risk overthrowing a guy, but 3 times this year a guy who didn’t have a defender within 8 yards of him had to wait 2+ seconds for the ball to arrive, each time blowing what would be an easy touchdown. ---

> [@etv78](#): > > Why is an AFC v. AFC game on Fox? (NE v. Buff) Let’s see. Not counting last Thursday, there are four AFC games, one NFC game, two games where the NFC team is the visitor, and one game where the AFC team is the visitor. By my count, that would normally be five games for CBS and only three for Fox. So giving Fox an AFC game equalizes it to four games for each network. The late games have three NFC games and one AFC game. ---

Why didn’t they flip a late NFC game, to even things out, in both ways? ---

Fox is the double-header network this Sunday. It probably has something to do with contractual obligations. ---
