He is up and walking on the sidelines, I expect him to return next series. Hopefully the Saints can put some points on the board this drive.

Ugh, we should have put the ball in Drew's hands a let him get the first down on that play.

Glad this game turned out to be interesting though, I was worried in the first half.

Sorry Cam

Let's see what he does in his post game conference.
As much as everybody bitches about Kam he took an unbelievable pounding today and continued to play and produce. Didn't help the Panthers when he throws a perfect TD pass only for it to be dropped, didn't help that a 25yrd FG gets missed either.

Congrats, Saints. I actually think they're going to be a good match up for the Vikings. Hope for a good game next weekend.

Should be a good game if the refs call late hits on the QB and there are no bounties up for grabs there is no stupid "Destiny" this year.

Hopefully the Vikings QB throws another interception when he could just fall down and let his kicker win the game for them too!

I'm looking forward to this weekend...just bummed because I'll be out of town and don't know what the TV situation will be like on Saturday. I may have to pack a phone charger and watch the games on my phone if I can't ditch the family and find a bar.

Drew Brees is a bad, bad man and you are right to be scared if you're a Vikes fan. It's going to be a better game than the Super Bowl for sure. These are two very evenly matched teams at the absolute top of their game.

Thanks. Now I only have one reason to go to a bar to watch the game... =P

That's cool that they're opening up streaming services. I think they realize as long as they get the analytics to know how many viewers they're reaching (for the sake of advertising revenue), they don't care how people connect and watch. Lately, Amazon Prime Video's been streaming games....as well as the NFL Mobile App on Sunday Night, Monday Night, and Thursday Night football... I've had to rely on them a few times.

I have the NFL Mobile App on my phone setup with GamePass. I can go back and watch games after they finish live. (used to be NFL Rewind) It's a pretty cool service because they have a condensed version around 35 minutes/game so you don't have to watch any of the fluff....if you choose. Because I have season tickets, I get that as a perk from the league. I'd never pay for it....but it's nice to have a game on when I'm at work. =)

Not really playoff related, but looks like the Seahawks are cleaning house. Their offensive coordinator and o-line coach are both canned. Both overdue, IMO. This after getting rid of Blair Walsh.

Glad they didn't make the playoffs, since that appears to be the catalyst needed to get some new blood in there.

Going to take more than that. They may have the worst OL in the league, running game sucks donkey balls, and defense needs reloading with Legion of Boom coming to an end due to cost constraints and age.

I'd say the running game issue is related to having such a terrible line. And there were many key injuries on D this year. But yeah, they probably need to find some younger (cheaper) talent on D (I'd keep Sherman and Wagner) and dump that money into the line.

They've recently been great at finding and grooming low or undrafted players. Hopefully that trend continues.

I'd argue their running game issue was giving Eddie "where's my snack" to a big contract to be their featured back.
