Here’s a look at what local NFL columnists are saying in the wake of their teams losing on Sunday:
– Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says that Anthony Smith’s guarantee against the Patriots turned from confident to laughable in the wake of the Steelers’ 34-13 loss.
– Rick Maese of the Baltimore Sun writes that the refs made a big mistake in the Ravens-Colts game Sunday night: Letting the game continue.
– Scott Folwer of the Charlotte Observer says that the Panthers’ 37-6 loss to the Jaguars was the kind of game that gets people fired. Folwer speculates that head coach John Fox might get his pink slip at the end of the year.
– Mitch Albom of the Detroit Free Press writes that even though they gave their best effort, the Lions’ loss to the Cowboys Sunday was still rather Lions-like.
– The Kansas City Star captured some great sound quotes from the Chiefs’ broadcasting team in the wake of their humiliating loss to the Broncos.
– Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald notes that everyone shares blame in the Dolphins’ problems.
– Bill Conlin of the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that after their loss to the Giants, it’s clear that the Eagles’ dynasty has hit a wall.
