First coach to get the axe?…..

Could there be shiptier national games? Patriots score 3 points, Chargers Steelers is tied an 10, 3 points between the Eagles and Saints.

What's a national game? /redzone addict

After scoring all of 13 points in two games, Panthers have 21 points in the first half.

This is why I keep saying that the NFL isn't the 900-pound gorilla that nobody can compete with. You only have a couple good games every week, with a lot of garbage filling out the schedule.

Based on one half, Panthers had both a Bryce Young AND a line problem.

Team has scored 14 points and actually looks like it has a clue. But Dalton has been sacked twice ... in both cases, they were line issues, not holding-the-ball issues or trying to take seven-step drops and allowing receivers to work deep.

Small sample size, but they look competitive, which hasn't been said in a long time. Charlotte's NFL team might again contain football substance.

Most "quarterback problems" are actually offensive line problems.

Except millions and millions watch EVERY Sunday.

Most "quarterback problems" are actually offensive line problems.

More than many realize. But they don't wear jerseys of the five offensive lineman, and the media doesn't typically discuss issues with the left guard or right tackle.

Skylar Thompson is allegedly one of the 60 best quarterbacks in the world, good enough to hold an NFL roster spot. Can he not throw it 50 yards in the air to get it to the end zone on a hail mary?
This was an untimed down at the end of the first half. The play before, the Seahawks rushed ONE defender who was comically getting bounced around by the entire Dolphins offensive line, and instead of letting it fly Thompson checked down to a 15ish-yard route, apparently after getting bored. There was a penalty on the Seahawks that led to this play.

Les Cowboys sont finis.

If he doesn't get David Carr'd, Williams is going to be good. And as bad as the O-line is, the weak link is Eberflus. He is awful.

Never understood why the Bears didn't fire him as part of the rebuild. I wonder if he'll last the season.

Not to the quarter pole and not only have the boobirds entered the stadium, but Dak is underwhelming and CD is bitching and moaning.
When Jerruh gives McCarthy the heave in a month, he might think of it as a mercy killing.

Take a look in Charlotte. Bryce Young is benched. Andy Dalton leads what was a hopeless offense and an uncompetitive team to 21 points in the first half in Vegas (yeah, yeah ... what happens in Vegas ... yeah yeah). Seriously, might have saved not only a locker room, franchise and fan base, but also another young quarterback with a supposedly high ceiling from becoming another David Carr.
