Thanks for the info, Mike - good explanation as to why the Panthers are so bad right now. And yes, they covered - due to a punt return. They looked like they could have played for a long, long time without scoring an offensive TD, though.

You got that right. Young has looked terrible the last two weeks, but lots of the problems aren't his fault. It's a sh!tshow.

When your receivers get no separation from the defensive backs it's tough to be a QB. I worry about Young's size - otherwise think he'll be fine.

Minnesota's Justin Jefferson and Carolina's Brian Burns are two stars who decided to play this season despite there being no progress on long-term contract extensions. Both got injured.

Thankfully, neither injury is expected to be a season-ender, but it's still a cautionary tale for players.

Despite all the $$$ rolling into the league and its teams, the NFL largely remains an owner-first league that treats most players - even plenty of star players - as easily replaced items.

Yep. The NFLPA is much weaker and much more willing to cave to management than its counterparts in MLB and the NBA.

OK. And in baseball and basketball the owners are much weaker and much more willing  to cave to labor.

This isn't a morality play with good guys and bad guys. It's negotiation on how to split up piles of $. What's "fair" is whatever is agreed upon.

I like the NFL - NFLPA agreement. I think the vast majority of the players and owners do to.

Players' portion of the revenue is proportional in all leagues. If guaranteed contracts, which do exist, were expanded there will be less money for the players that are actually on the field. Everyone would be bitching about the millions of dollars of cap money tied up in injured players.

Opposing teams came into this game being successful on 64% of 4th down conversions. Only Carolina (71%) has a worse 4th down defense.

Whether its Cousins, Hall, Dobbs....the Vikes offense is actually pretty formidable

If they would just stop running Mattison as their damn RB1. Hes so unbelievably bad its not funny. Akers was better but didnt start. Now Chandler is clearly better.

Every first down run to Mattison loses two yards.

I don't think I made that claim or even suggested it.

I do admit that I "side" with the athletes in all sports, including college sports. In the NFL, in particular, I can understand why elite athletes for whom a career-ending injury is always only 1 play away, might feel they need to threaten to hold out until they have long-term contracts.
