And they lost Wilfork, Mayo, Gronk, Spikes, Hernandez, probably others I'm missing, and the Pats STILL made the playoffs with a bye and are looking pretty good right now.

Love or hate Darth Hoodie, he builds a helluva team.

Preeeeeetty sure TB traded him to the Pats, I think it was for a late round pick and another player.

Jeff Demps. It was either a 6th or 7th round pick with him.

Andrew Luck's time will come for Indianapolis Colts, just not now - ESPN

“Mistakes from the first quarter to the last series,” Luck said. “It was indicative of how the game kind of went for us, for me. It starts on my shoulders on those picks. It stinks.”

Hope next year with Gruden coaching him on leadership, RG3 takes ownership like this. When things go bad, they should start with the QB, fair or not. Of course, this specific instance Luck threw 4 picks and had to say it. RG3 should just learn to take more blame even when it's someone else's fault - just taking it for the team.

Can't run block and didn't play big last week either. If you are a great player, you just don't completely disappear like Graham did against Seattle.

Yeah I think he's a good player not great, that word gets thrown around way too much

Yea it is like that elite quarterback conversation.

Graham right now is the best tight end in the NFL, only because Gronk can't stay healthy.

That had to be one of the worst calls I have seen.
49ers should be punting.
Also the Panthers have one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL.

Steve Smith reminds me of Gary Clark, awesome player.

Cam Newton is straight up balling. Making good reads, great throws.

Not liking the Panthers goal line play calling. They are trying to run up the middle which is the 49ers strength. They should be running a read option play or something that spreads them out.

Can newton should have scored on that run earlier in the drive. They should stop exposing him so much.

Newton is having the best playoff game so far out of any of the young QBs. Need to start talking about him like we talk about luck.
