2014 NFL Season **OFFICIAL THREAD**

Um... :o :confused:
 
OAKLAND, Calif. -- Authorities said Friday they were beefing up security for the San Francisco 49ers' visit to the Oakland Raiders' home field on Sunday in hopes of preventing trouble that has plagued the matchup between the San Francisco Bay Area rivals in years past.

There will be more uniformed and undercover police and private security officers patrolling parking lots, tailgate areas and the stadium at O.co Coliseum in Oakland, the Raiders announced Friday.

The annual preseason game between the two teams was canceled after the 2011 matchup, when two shootings, two assaults and numerous fistfights broke out. The violence led 49ers owner Jed York to ask the NFL to call the game off, KNTV reported.

Sunday's matchup will be the first regular-season game between the two teams since 2010, and the first time the 49ers have played in Oakland since 2002.

"I'm hoping to God that people realize it's just football," Joe Leonor, a Niners fan, told the San Francisco Examiner. "The only good that came of (the 2011 game) is that it brought to people's attention that this is about football, and not knuckleheads ruining it for the real fans."

The 49ers (7-5) need a win to stay in the playoff race. The Raiders have won only one game this season, but fans say a win over the Niners would be a source of pride.

"If we're able to knock the hated Santa Clara-Frisco 49ers out of the playoffs with a loss, there'll be nothing better than that," Rob Rivera told the Examiner.

Rivera said he didn't want anything negative to mar the game.

"I'm 48 years old, man. I have two young daughters," he said. "The last thing I want to be a part of is a group that's going to be any sort of trouble."

Manning had no TD passes (ends 51 game streak- third longest in NFL history- three shy of Drew Brees's record) and two INTS but Denver beats Buffallo. In 253 career games, Manning has not thrown a touchdown in just 27 of them.

Now cheering for Chargers to beat New England in the night cap. Denver is at San Diego next week. If Chargers win, it makes Denver the #1 seed in the AFC. If Denver wins next week, they can clinch the division.
Seahawks win. KC loses to Arizona, Raiders beating Niners.

NFC Wild Card currently Seattle and Detroit with San Diego and Pittsburgh in the AFC.
 
Denver's final game (home where they are unbeaten- next two coming up are on the road where they are only 3-3). Can't assume it will be an "automatic win".
 
Raiders only lost to Seattle (in Seattle) by six points. At New England it was 16-9- another close road loss to a good team. Both games against Chargers were close. Only two blowouts since their bye week (week #5)- against Denver and at St Louis. They have been better than some think. Just not quite getting the wins.

Cam Newton injured in car crash


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has two fractures in his lower back following a two-car accident Tuesday afternoon near the team's stadium.

"Further testing revealed that Cam Newton has two transverse process fractures in his lower back and no further internal injuries," the Panthers said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.


The injury suffered to Newton is the same back injury that Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo suffered earlier this season. Romo missed one game this season for the injury, however no timetable was given for how long Newton will be out, if at all.

Newton's car accident took place around 12:30 p.m. ET, according to Charlotte police. Both Newton and the driver of the other vehicle were taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The Panthers earlier said Newton will be held overnight for observation but that the franchise quarterback was "in fair condition and undergoing tests at Carolinas Medical Center."

Team owner Jerry Richardson earlier told the Charlotte Observer that Newton is "in good shape," after speaking with Carolinas Medical Center doctors.

Newton, 25, was conscious when he was transported to the hospital, a source told ESPN's Ed Werder.

A witness told the Charlotte Observer that Newton was "alert" but "in pain" at the scene of the accident.

In his fourth season, the former No. 1 overall pick has thrown for 2,812 yards, run for 425 yards and accounted for 19 total touchdowns this season (16 passing, 3 rushing) to go along with 11 interceptions for a Panthers team that remains in the hunt for the NFC South division title despite a 4-8-1 record.

If Newton is ruled unable to play, veteran Derek Anderson would be expected to take over as Carolina's starting quarterback. Anderson led the Panthers to a 20-14 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 1 while Newton sat out with fractured ribs.

The Panthers play the Bucs this Sunday at 1 p.m. ET.
