Wow. Bill Belichick fired all of his coordinators.

That he isn't related to.

Fun on a Friday.

This is what the NFC South has always been, the ACC is just catching up.

(Psst, don't tell anybody, the 3 seed is very much in play.)

The Falcons did what?

There is no chance I see the end of this game, but throwback unis will keep me awake at least another half-hour.

Bucs are getting their dudes back for the stretch run.

And it's a big class, 12 on the roster and IR.

Third-most games for rookies in the NFL this year.

This is a big part of what they're building.

For Panthers passing game, youth is being served in real time The Panthers are throwing the ball around with a quarterback and four receivers, none of whom have reached their 25th birthday. That creates challenges, but also room for growth.

The Panthers have a QB and a bunch of receivers who can't even get together and rent a car.

But that also creates room for growth, as they head into the final four games of the regular season.

Ask The Old Guy: Locking in for the stretch run The Panthers are still a work in progress (aren't we all), but they've found themselves in the middle of a playoff hunt. And people are wrapping their minds around that, but happy to do so.

Behold, a playoff chase version of Ask The Old Guy, in which we discuss the chances (real), the Derrick Brown-ness of Derrick Brown, Dave Canales growing into his role, Bryce Young too, old QB stories, and of course, travel recommendations in the NC High Country.

It's at least more interesting than Riley Leonard.

Unless Philip Rivers comes back and overthrows a Steve Smith-level WR right out of the gate, it will still pale in comparison to Panthers legend Vinny Testaverde rolling in on a Tuesday and beating the Cardinals on a Sunday.

And my guess is like Vinny, Phil can still air it out, ... once a week.

Let's get weird.
