Notes

Cam Newton fumbled a half yard away from endzone but Louis Murphy recovered for the TD.

Earl Bennett is a worthy roster addition at least until Alshon Jeffrey returns for a hand injury.

It is absolutely unbelievable that neither team realized you can’t return a 2 point conversion for points.

It is inexcusable for the Panthers to have lost this game. Ron Rivera has lost his team and he’ll be fired soon.

Notes

The wind/rain was awful throughout this game. Hard to judge Rivers/Weeden fairly after this one.

Ryan Mathews was allowed to remain in the game even after his early game lost fumble.

Rivers is throwing off of his back foot way too often. Someone has to get ahold of him and correct this ASAP.

The Browns would be wise to rely more on the running game going forward. It’ll take pressure off Weeden.

Notes

Seahawks playing for a FG with over a minute remaining in 1^st half is clear sign R. Wilson is a game manager

Kevin Smith and Joique Bell split time in Lions backfield after LeShoure left. Monitor throughout week.

Pete Carroll passed up two opportunities for FG’s in this game and both came back to haunt him.

Do not panic over Calvin Johnson. The better Matthew Stafford looks/does, the better Calvin will be.

Notes

Rams started out quick with a 50 yard TD pass to Givens but offense was absolutely dead after that.

Brandon Lloyd still a useful fantasy player but he won’t be a big receptions guy. Red zone option mostly.

Steven Jackson hardly played in 2^nd half. It is obvious that Richardson is the new primary RB in St. Louis.

Patriots are using various RB’s at goal line thereby limiting Ridley’s fantasy value.

Notes

It’s sad that Brady Quinn never seems to get an opportunity to show what he can do on the football field.

Romeo Crennel said after the game that he didn’t realize that JaMaal Charles only touched the ball 8 times.

McFadden needs carries to get going. He was bad until the 2^nd half when he rattled off 5 gains of 10+ yards.

Stay as far away from the Chiefs as you possibly can. This is a complete shipwreck with nothing left onboard.

Notes

Even after 1000 replays I strongly believe that Dez Bryant was in bounds when he landed in the back of the

Endzone with :10 seconds remaining.  The part of his hand that hit FIRST was in bounds.  Bad overturn.

The Giants are great at coming from behind but they cannot close teams out when they got a lead.

Giants kicker Lawrence Tynes hit all 5 FG attempts: 26, 37, 37, 41 & 43 yards.

Notes

Most thought there would be way more than 50 points scored tonight but it goes to show nothing is certain.

The Saints are just awful. Offensively and defensively terrible and without their coaches there is no hope.

The Broncos schedule get tremendously easy from here on out and thus big numbers should be coming here.

The Broncos lost a fumble for the 12^th straight game dating back to the Tim Tebow era.

Special teams disaster for the Jets with a fumbled kickoff, a blocked punt for a TD and blocked FG

Daniel Thomas continues to almost all the work inside the 10 yard line

The Dolphins will not lose much without Tannehill as Moore is a quality back-up

This was the return of bad Mark Sanchez with questionable decisions and poor throws into coverage

Notes

The new defensive coordinator did nothing to the stop the Falcons as the Eagles defense was awful

Andy Reid did go to the short passing game as expected but the lack of play making receivers is an issue

Michael Vick did a better job of protecting the football and the offense was not the reason for the loss

Matt Ryan was surgical in taking apart the Eagles defense scoring on their first 6 drives of the game

Notes

Britt loses a 22 yard TD catch due to pass interference which ends up being a great 23 yard TD by Wright

Delone Carter got the carry at the goal line for a TD and maybe the TD Vulture now

The Titans still need the play making ability of Jake Locker for this offense to be a threat every week

Dwayne Allen will be a guy to keep an eye on with Fleener hurt
