Wild Card Weekend Gamethread

[Freddy Linn]

That was a hell of a throw from Cam.

 

[Ale Xander]

Carry-out insurance for bad pizza? WTF is wrong with this world.

Carry-out insurance for bad pizza? WTF is wrong with this world.

1. Is not for bad pizza, it's for damaged pizza, returned uneaten within 2 hours.
2. The fact that this is what makes you think we are off the rails is a far more telling problem.

 

[eustis22]

dominos is bad pizza , is his point, I think

carolina been this bad in the redzone?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Gano has the highest rate of touchbacks this year. I’ll take what the Ghost does all day.

 

[OurF'ingCity]

Bradberry seems to be having a pretty shitty game.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Michael Thomas 'doesn't get a lot of credit'? What?

 

[Dehere]

Dome Drew showing up now. TD bomb was lovely and last completion was a dart.

 

[johnmd20]

That was not fun to look at.

 

[pokey_reese]

Ouch, just saw the replay on that.

 

[pokey_reese]

NO screen game is tight.

 

[loshjott]

Dome Drew showing up now. TD bomb was lovely and last completion was a dart.

He’ll be in a dome the rest of the postseason.

Edit: maybe not.

 

[johnmd20]

Carving up the Panthers.

 

[mikeot]

Welcome to the Drew Brees quarterback clinic.

 

[Dehere]

He’ll be in a dome the rest of the postseason.

Assumes ATL beats PHL but yeah you would think so.

 

[Al Zarilla]

How long has NO had this Breeze guy?

 

[pokey_reese]

We are gonna see the Pats run that play with Allen in the next few weeks. Two TE set, look like a run to the right behind Gronk, and the safety will have to shade to Gronk's side...

 

[Ale Xander]

nice coverage

 

[Kliq]

I think Cam’s a big front runner so I don’t have a ton of faith in Carolina rallying back unless a turnover is involved.

 

[Norm Siebern]

You may want to cover the TE when your opponent is inside your own ten yard line

 

[DJnVa]

I think Cam’s a big front runner so I don’t have a ton of faith in Carolina rallying back unless a turnover is involved.

His QB rating when ahead in his career is about 87, when trailing about 81. The difference is a bit more pronounced this season.

 

[johnmd20]

These slants by the Saints are unstoppable.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Newton has no good receivers outside of Olsen and McCaffrey. FGs aren't going to cut it here.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Newton has no good receivers outside of Olsen and McCaffrey. FGs aren't going to cut it here.

Yeah, this doesn't look so great for Carolina.

 

[Al Zarilla]

These slants by the Saints are unstoppable.

Yes, and Thank God Brees broke Sam Bradford’s single year completion percentage record.

 

[E5 Yaz]

That set where the Saints backs wheel on opposing sides of the field and Brees hits the one who gets open is fun to watch

 

[pokey_reese]

This Saints offense would carve the Pats up. I hope MIN beats them...

 

[DJnVa]

This Saints offense would carve the Pats up. I hope MIN beats them...

You know they played this year right?

We're the worst 13-3 team in history reading game threads.

 

[eustis22]

yeah this might be it for the panthers

 

[snowmanny]

This Saints offense would carve the Pats up. I hope MIN beats them...

Yeah the MIN LAR fear sort of mystified me. This team is very good and Brees is of course great.

 

[jmcc5400]

Well, not worse than the 2011 Pats....

 

[E5 Yaz]

You know they played this year right?

We're the worst 13-3 team in history reading game threads.

Last season we were the worst 14-2 team in history

 

[BaseballJones]

You know they played this year right?

We're the worst 13-3 team in history reading game threads.

Not only did they play... they played in New Orleans, when the Pats' defense was a complete and utter disaster, playing historically bad football (not an overstatement).

And the Pats crushed them.

Doesn't mean that's how it would go again, but this is all true.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Will Lutz's son's name ... Axel

 

[Deathofthebambino]

You know they played this year right?

We're the worst 13-3 team in history reading game threads.

It never ends. I'll take New Orleans any time over the Vikings, who's defense can actually give us problems, and they have that little advantage of playing at HOME in the Super Bowl.

 

[Kliq]

That’s about as good of a half of QB play as anyone has had this season.

 

[Freddy Linn]

That TO Cam took early would be handy right now.

 

[The Needler]

Supposed to be a penalty for spinning the football like that.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Bet the Panthers are wishing they had Kelvin Benjamin right about now.

 

[Ale Xander]

nice D Panthercats

 

[E5 Yaz]

That’s about as good of a half of QB play as anyone has had this season.

It's a shame he's too short to play quarterback

 

[pokey_reese]

That was s huge tackle, short of the sticks and in-bounds.

 

[Freddy Linn]

That’s about as good of a half of QB play as anyone has had this season.

Just like Alex Smith yesterday.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Pretty impressive kick right there.

 

[pokey_reese]

Carolina has moved the ball well, so they should feel good about that going into the half. Left a lot of points on the field, though.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Graham Gano, don'cha know?

 

[The Needler]

Hit the upright.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Carolina gets the ball coming out of the half. One good drive, in which they actually punch it in, and we've got a ballgame.

 

[snowmanny]

It's a shame he's too short to play quarterback

And his shoulder is all torn up

 

[Ed Hillel]

Newton has no good receivers outside of Olsen and McCaffrey. FGs aren't going to cut it here.

Maybe they shouldn’t have traded their best wr midseason, after all.
