Damn, I hate that for Cards fans. Hopefully the backup can manage the game well enough not to lose games, anyway.

That's a tough loss, but I think they can still get to the playoffs with Drew Stanton. Here's what's left.

vs Detroit
@ Seattle
@ Atlanta
vs Kansas City
@ St. Louis
vs Seattle
@ San Francisco

I think 4-3 is pretty doable with the defense they have. For the division the 2 Seattle games are obviously huge and a split would probably be a best case scenario.

I think they will get to the playoffs, but I wonder if they'll go much further than that.

The curse of hosting the Super Bowl.

sadly I would say they have one game you would say yeah they should win this game, the rest are all tough games. The good news is they are 2-1 with Stanton as a starter and the loss was at the Denver Mannings and he got hurt.

What everyone suspected has been confirmed. Carson Palmer has a torn ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Same knee?

 

[Grenouille]

Same knee?

Yup, his left knee. Thankfully for him the early reports are just the ACL, and nothing else.

Do you think it's finally time for Coughlin to go after this year? It'll be 5/6 years with no playoffs most likely (of course there is a SB too).

Eli might be an interesting case. It wouldn't shock me if they move on from him too.

I gotta say, two Super Bowl wins notwithstanding, the time has come. It's one thing to lose, but to not even be competitive? SMH. Can't stand the sight of this team right now.

Getting sick of these prime time blowouts.

Also....when was the exact moment Carolina got so bad?

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

This off season when they let everyone that made them good last year either walk or retire.

 

[s_paulik87]

Newton is gonna be out of the league by 27 if he keeps getting this beat up.

 

[DinoDB1975]

More injury news...

Patrick Willis and Seattle Seahawks NT Brandon Mebane are out for the season. Wow. That's three starters from NFC West teams that are done.

Anyone think we'll see AP take the field again this year? Monday should be interesting....

I doubt it. If they let him play again, I say December

I still have him stashed in my fantasy league. He was the number 1 pick over by me. Would be nice if he came back for my playoffs.

I originally drafted him in mine, dropped him and picked him back up just in case

 

[mikedanger]

I tried to grab him last week but someone beat me to it...might try to throw a trade their way for him

Same.. Figured its better for me to have a chance of him in the playoffs then face him.

 

[Chapter 2099]

I'm in the same boat as everyone else. He's on my bench.

Read about his missing a meeting on Friday, then releasing a statement about how that (meeting) was never part of their agreement, etc. etc. While I do think it was foolish to miss it, I kind of don't blame him. I don't think the NFL knows how to handle any of this IMO. If I were in they're shoes, I think they have one of two decisions: allow him to play now or don't let him back at all.

 

[karamazov80]

Simultaneously horrible, and hilarious.

They later showed that chick begging him for the ball, and he's just sitting there ignoring her.

Giants are unwatchable. Eli just threw his 4th INT of the game jesus christ.
