New NFC South Hierarchy for Week 3?

Atlanta
New Orleans
Tampa
Carolina

New Orleans belongs below Carolina and Atlanta until proven otherwise. The Panthers torched us last week for almost 500 yards, as did the Redskins the week prior. Our offense can't produce circa 06-11 unless we're in a deficit or running a form of no huddle.

And I'm a Who Dat.

Or maybe I'm just spoiled from having gone to Drew Brees from Aaron Brooks allthewhile seeing a record breaking offense for all 6 years of the Payton/Brees era.

I didn't get to see the game but why did the Panthers bench Newton?

Yes there is. Just like there is a rule that Sunday Night Football games will always be better than Monday Night Football ever since ESPN got MNF.

I didn't see the whole game either because it was awful, but I didn't notice Cam getting benched. Pretty sure this was his worst start as a pro however.

I looked it up and they did it when there was under a minute left. Even so, they could have let Cam get some yards during garbage time just to boost his confidence a little bit.

Cutler's been doing this for the last few years, it's time he stepped up and started being the franchise QB he's getting paid the big bucks to be. Bravado or not, he needs to start acting and being the leader they want him to be.

As for Lovie, he best be careful at this point. As a diehard Bears fan, he is in the hot seat this season. The Bears have put all their eggs in the basket for them to at least make the playoffs. If Cutler keeps doing this, he might have a full-fledged mutiny on his hands.

Exactly. I don't think I've seen a team setup for a win now situation more than Chicago right now other than Atlanta. Peppers, Tillman, Briggs, and Urlacher will not be getting any younger and they will be near impossible to replace. Especially since the draft needs to focus on the O-Line and D-Line.

So the Cardiac Cards could become more cardiac.

Kevin Kolb's wife is expecting a baby, so Kolb could actually miss Sunday's game against the Eagles. John Skelton is still recovering from his ankle injury. So it might Ryan Lindley's time as the starter. The best part is, in preseason, Lindley actually looked worse than Skelton and Kolb did and Lindley played 3rd string guys the entire time.

[Haystacks Calhoun]

I thought Max Hall was their 3rd stringer?

I remember last year one of the Panthers fans on here tried to tell me the Panthers safeties are better than Polamalu. That was evident last night
