Ooof. Bears vs. Chargers for next MNF. 
 
Don't worry, we get Bengals-Browns on Thursday! Early slate Sunday looks promising at least (Panthers/Packers, Rams/Vikings, Raiders/Steelers).

Dilfer says the game was all about competitive spirit, including the Colts. Dude, the Colts are 3-5, about to go 3-6 and they were the consensus SB pick from the AFC.

How can he be the only offensive player to play every offensive snap this season in the NFL?

I don't think that includes quarterbacks or offensive linemen. That's a lot of running for a WR/TE/RB.

Because he's G-reg and he has a third leg.  I can't get his verse out of my head whenever I see him do pretty much anything.

Thanks, yeah not just running but sooner or later you get the wind knocked out of you or your bell rung by the D.

How many drops did Ginn have last night?  I counted at least 3
 
This was maybe his most critical

That's a great example of why Cam's stats shouldn't be taken at face value. His numbers are pedestrian or worse, but he has little in the way of supporting cast and Carolina is 4th in the NFL in points.

Yep.  I gotta think 95+% of NFL WRs catch that ball.  It was a thing of beauty.

I still don't think it's out of the question that one day Cam Newton is in the conversation for best QB in the NFL.  I don't think he really ever gets to that #1 spot but man can he really do things nobody else can on the football field.  With real WRs and a real OL he would look totally different.
 
Of course I thought that about Kaep, too, though I think everyone thought that.
