Well, looks like the Panthers aren't even going to try tonight. They seem like the type of team that would quit during a season like this I guess.

Look at how many times it's bit the Steelers in the ass. Our game against them was a prime example of it.
Yes it does. Using hindsight we know that there is a 100% chance of winning by not going for 2. If we had gone for 2 there is probably somewhere around a 50% chance of going into overtime. So using hindsight we absolutely made the right decision.
What the Steelers did was stupid. I'm only referring to a specific situation - go up by 7 before XP when <2 min in the game. I've only seen this situation maybe once or twice a season. As for the Vikings game, this situation didn't come up as we kicked a FG into the 8-point lead.

With Garrett going for 4th & 1 vs Eagles OT, I see that being even more daring, but we universally liked the decision.

I hate Cam Newton and you can't convince me otherwise. Not Christian Laettner-hate, though.

Thomas Rawls with the 45 yard TD run. I didn't think he had a run like that in him.

Just heard that our game vs TB has been flexed to prime time. Two prime time games back to back.

The only game I've missed is the Baltimore game. My local station has showed every other game. :towel

And that's partially because Cam Newton is a whiny bitch who gives up and throws temper tantrums when things don't go his way.

Are we still America's Team?
I don't give a shit what we call ourselves or what other people call us as long as we keep winning football games.

Dunno why you people are all amped up for night games. I would take a 1PM start every week.

The 3 o'clock games are perfect for me. But, I had rather have a night game than a nooner.
