Man, I entered a work pool this week. I had San Fran over the Vikings, and my arch-nemesis Favre throws the game-winner. I have Tennessee over New York, and no Titans seem to be able to catch the ball. I had Houston over Jacksonville, and the Jones-Drew of old returns. And I had Washington over Detroit.

I've been wrong on those four thus far, and it's not like they were runaways. Going into the fourth quarters, I was feeling pretty good about most of these picks. :(

Having now seen the highlight, I gotta really question Singletary a bit.

When you know the Hail Mary pass is coming, you generally put six guys in the end zone to knock it down. I only saw two guys back there in the vicinity of the receiver. That's a bad defensive call.

I'll have to check the clip again to see if there were more guys back, but from what I saw it looks like he put more guys into pressuring Favre rather than coverage. On a normal play, I can understand that, but on a last second play where a Hail Mary is the only option, no :nonod:

I picked Det this week, but missed on Houston and Tenn. SF looked pretty good on offense and defense from when I started watching it at the beginning of the 4th Q, I wanted to see how good Minny looks b/c we play them this yr.

      I sure do miss the days of having guys like Cam, Luke, Peppers, Olsen, Steve Smith etc who were faces of the franchise and could dominant games. I hope we can soon find and develop future faces of the franchise like the past guys and find a strong identity with some game changers on defense.

      BREAKING:Panthers re-sign Chuba Hubbard

      By Ricky Spanish · Posted

      People comparing this deal to CMC, Williams, or Stewart is laughable, and I'll break the numbers down as to why: In 2020 We made CMC the highest paid RB ever. We gave him a $64 million over 4 years with $38 million guaranteed. That's $16 million on average. In 2011 we extended Williams, then in 2012 we extended Stewart. These extensions were 12 and 13 years ago: Williams - 5 years, $43 Million, $25 Million Guaranteed, Average of $8.6 Million per year Stewart - 5 years, $36 Million, $23 Million Guaranteed, Average of $7.3 Million per year Let me do the math for you: The Salary Cap in 2020 when we Signed CMC was $198.2 Million. CMC accounted for 8% of our total cap that season. The Salary Cap in 2012, when we had both Williams and Stewart under contract, was $120.6 Million. Those two combined to take up 13.1% of our total cap that season. Without the cap going up next season (and it will) Chuba is taking up 3.2% of our total cap. That's it. Not only are we paying Chuba HALF of what we were paying CMC per year, and LESS than what we paid Williams over a decade ago, the overall cap percentage shows how much less significant the contract extension is compared to those other moves. I really am not following how people are calling this contract a "big" money contract on a running back and a waste of cap space. This is a solid starting RB contract in the modern NFL.

      Yeah Brown was shown to be a lot more important even in his second year
