The Carolina Panthers are going to go 16-0. They're also going to lose their first playoff game. There is nothing on this earth that will convince me otherwise. Also, Odell Beckham Jr. is a punkass. But you didn't need me to tell you that. Let's see if people remember his filthy cheapshots today in the same way they remember a meaningless one-handed catch in a game the Giants lost last season. Ah. The obligatory teardown process has begun. Begin with the 'thug', 'diva' and the rest of the good labels. I aint about to call Beckham a thug or a diva but there is no excuse for his actions today, that was horrible and he should have never been allowed to stay in the game.

And let's not throw the word "thug" around and try to make that implication.

Gonna admit - I think the Panthers will go 16-0, but I also think the Cardinals will beat them in the NFC Championship Game. I keep telling ya'll. As long as Newton has the dap, he's unstoppable. Are you so sure about that claim now?

You have one instance of a guy who completely made an ass of himself, to be sure. But to pass judgement on him. Not cool. Especially considering that Josh Norman, his direct competition, wasn't exactly an angel out there either.

Love Beckham and would take him on my team every game. I'll take those catches and that attitude over most of the rest of the WRs in the league.
As for Carolina, not a chance in hell I'd take them in any playoff game. They either look like world beaters or bottom feeders and in the playoffs, they won't be lucky to be facing the worst of the league.

Odell has been living off that admittedly great catch. As was mentioned, it always cracks me up that they hype that up so much given that the catch came really early on, and the team LOST that game.
He's a really, really good receiver; but they've been Jerry Rice-ing him up based on one really exceptional catch that didn't mean anything at all even in the game it happened.

As for Carolina, not a chance in hell I'd take them in any playoff game. They either look like world beaters or bottom feeders and in the playoffs, they won't be lucky to be facing the worst of the league. If there's one thing I took away from the 2007 Patriots, it's that 16-0 doesn't mean s**t unless you finish 19-0. And as it stands right now, despite the fact that Carolina has beaten everyone in their path, including some of the best teams in the NFC, I'd still take Arizona, Seattle, and possibly even Green Bay in a win-or-go-home playoff game. I think you need to find the one defense that can keep Cam Newton in the pocket and the one offense that can expose the Panthers' other cornerbacks not named Josh Norman to beat Carolina and I think the three teams I mentioned (even though Carolina beat two of them) can get the job done in January. Odell has been living off that admittedly great catch. As was mentioned, it always cracks me up that they hype that up so much given that the catch came really early on, and the team LOST that game. He's a really, really good receiver; but they've been Jerry Rice-ing him up based on one really exceptional catch that didn't mean anything at all even in the game it happened. I'm not about to bag on Odell Beckham Jr. for being overrated, because I tried that earlier in the season and reality slapped me in the face because he's putting up numbers through his first two seasons that no other receiver has accomplished. But holy hell is that one catch the single most overrated play in sports history. As you mentioned, it happened early in a game the Giants ended up losing. It's a fantastic highlight but as a play in an individual game, it's no different than a one-yard touchdown run for Andre Williams. I think if Josh Norman proved anything to the other cornerbacks in the league today, it's that you can get under Beckham's skin and rent out an apartment's worth of space in his head with little to no effort. Just give him the business after a play, talk a little trash, and Beckham completely loses his cool. You could see seeds of it planted back when the Patriots played the Giants and Malcolm Butler was in Beckham's face the whole game and you could tell that if things started going south for the Giants that night, Beckham was prime to do something foolish and cost his team 15 yards.

Just saw where Browns CB Joe Haden is done for the year because of concussion issues. Non-Browns fans probably don't know much about him, but he is one of the best people in the league, not just as a player but as a person. He does all kinds of community work, he's a locker room leader, he's welcoming and open with the press, and it just sucks to see a genuinely good dude have his career threatened like this. Such a reminder that football is an ugly game sometimes. Also shows why the likes of Deion Sanders avoided contact like the plague. Haden always sticks his nose in and hits people, and it seems to have cost him.

Hard for me to call Beckham over rated in any way when he's putting up numbers that in some cases we've literally never seen before. The narrative that it was one catch died off a long time ago. But BRV is right that Norman handed everyone the blueprint today. When can you remember an individual meltdown like that in a pro level game? It was embarrassing.

OBJ needs to apologize and Giants fans who are defending him should be ashamed of themselves.

Dunlap making the play McCarron needed. Cincy set up in the red zone following a fumble return.

Missed extra points are more exciting than I thought they would be.

That should be a Cincinnati touchdown. Ball broke the line.

Alright Broncos. Feast on the heat of the Steelers.
Then get ready for the 3-second tan next week.

Steelers seem to have some issues on the O line, would suck against New England or Denver in the playoffs
