ATLANTA CHOKING! That field goal saved them from getting embarrassed, but still have a chance to tie.
Well that was anticlimactic. Thanks Cam, nice fumble to score even less points for my fantasy team you bum.
Fitzmagic and Mallet doing their best to end the Steelers' hopes of making the playoffs. A lot of upsets today.

Kellen Moore...get off my lawn...err..:team lawn. Dallas...where a loss has become acceptable cause it could get worse. Seemingly in every game but not really.
I hate to put a game on a (non-injury) play in the 1st quarter, but Carolina dominates Atlanta's D and goes up 7-0. Falcons offense comes in and looks even worse than their defense. They are out of sync and don't even look ready to play. So it's 4th and 15, except... Charles Tillman tussles with a Falcons receiver after the play and the person foul gives them a 1st down. You could see the energy it gave Atlanta. They convert at least four 3rd-downs and tie the game. The crowd and the defense wake up and the whole vibe changes. Maybe the Falcons would have found energy and won without this. Either way, the Panthers lost because Rivera has lost too much control of the team. There needs to be less talking, jawing, prancing and dancing. They should act like they've been there before. I know it's 2015 and having fun is OK, but the Panthers need to dial it down some and stop reading their press clippings. They are too distracted sometimes.
Falcons acting like they won the superbowl today. Choked away a 5-0 start and end up missing the playoffs. What a pathetic bunch.
blakeman is probably a seattle fan. reminds me of my russian ex, when she'd ask a question with "yes?" at the end. very tricky and smart.
