Panthers Will Go Dancing

The Carolina Panthers with possibly the best defensive game in the history of the franchise had to get one drive from Cam Newton  and  and a Steve Smith less offense with 23 seconds to go to send the Panthers back to the NFL playoffs with a 17-13 victory over the New Orleans Saints.   The victory only gets the Panthers in the Playoffs they must win next Sunday or get the Saints to lost again in order to take the NFC South as champs.

Miami and Baltimore could make the AFC playoffs if one of the two would win but Miami failed to score and Baltimore had a gimpy quarterback and both lose easily.  This throws the Chargers in the mix but they must hope both Miami and Baltimore both lose again next week and the Chargers must beat Kansas City.

Detroit with maybe the best defensive personnel in the league but the worse discipline   lost at home to get knocked out of the playoffs.  Green Bay loses but some how or other they still have as shot after the Bears lost Sunday night.

The Cowboys did it again win a game in the last minute they should have rolled in to begin with. The Boys have set themselves up to get a heartbreaking loss at home to Philly next week.

Peyton Manning breaks the touchdown passing record.  Does anybody remember back when Tom Brady set the record New England was leading the Redskins by a bunch and Brady threw a one yard pass to give the Pats 54 points.  If you recalled the Patriots didn't win the Super Bowl.  Manning record breaker came when the backup should have been in the game.  I didn't like The way Brady got up to fifty and I didn't like Manning flinging it the way they did yesterday. Manning could have got hurt throwing a useless pass.

You just don't realize how hard it is to win a professional football game.  Everyone out on the field gets paid to preform and the more you win the more money you make?  If every team played their very best every time out there is  probably less than a touchdown difference in any of them.  It all comes down to how any team plays as a team on any given Sunday.
