[E5 Yaz]

And his shoulder is all torn up

And he's too old to be effective

 

[eustis22]

I seem to recall funchess AND benjamin ripping up the pats d.

 

[Mugsy's Walk-Off Bunt]

Cam with the hospital ball.

 

[tims4wins]

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.

Plays were 38 to 25 and TOP nearly 2:1. They are controlling the game to some degree, but not the score. That may pay off second half

 

[snowmanny]

And he's too old to be effective

And that expanding thing on his face grosses out his teammates

I made that one up but it seems legit

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I'm going 4 downs if I'm Carolina unless I'm in fourth and long.

 

[lambeau]

Carolina stopped the run--who would think Brees with only 70,000 passing yards could hurt them?

You say it here, it comes out there

 

[johnmd20]

Needed 7 there.

 

[Couperin47]

3 for 7, but we'll make it up on volume....

 

[lambeau]

Freeny!

 

[Ed Hillel]

Ted Ginn with hands?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Kyle Love???

 

[McBride11]

Ted Ginn with hands?

You didn't hear, he is EXTRA motivated today.

But I made the same comment to my buddy here

 

[The Needler]

Huge grounding. So dumb.

 

[luckiestman]

Huge grounding. So dumb.

What’s the difference between that and taking the sack?

 

[The Needler]

Bailed out bu Hionel Lutz.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Huge grounding. So dumb.

Bailed out by his FG kicker.

 

[eustis22]

do the panthers have time for 4 more field goals?

 

[Ed Hillel]

That was a risky call by Payton. Worked out.

 

[The Needler]

What’s the difference between that and taking the sack?

Those weren't the only options.

 

[luckiestman]

Those weren't the only options.

At the time of the so dumb grounding they were.

Sometimes the D makes a play

 

[The Needler]

Sometimes the D makes a play

If he had spun himself into the 17-yard sack, I would've said huge sack, so dumb. You don't retreat (nearly) out of field goal range like that.

 

[luckiestman]

Can’t believe Cam didn’t fumble. Strong hands

 

[mwonow]

Brees is Brady-esque

 

[Al Zarilla]

Saints have gone 7-9, 7-9, 7-9 and then 11-5 and this game. Pretty good.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Saints haven’t really run the ball well for a few weeks now

 

[pokey_reese]

Panthers really missed having Olsen for most of the year. He has great hands.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Feel like Carolina will finally score on this drive

 

[johnmd20]

Carolina is actually staying in this game.

 

[DJnVa]

Geez, McCaffery looks like he's 15 years old.

 

[shoosh77]

G-Reg!

 

[johnmd20]

Panthers really missed having Olsen for most of the year. He has great hands.

His hands are really a joy to watch. He just smoothly catches everything.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Leaving Olsen in single coverage LOL

 

[eustis22]

down 5 with 12+ mins left...doable

 

[DJnVa]

Carolina is an end zone drop from leading.

Carolina is a missed FG from being down by 2.

 

[pokey_reese]

Now that Kelce is gone, is Olsen the best non-Greek TE left?

 

[Wave em in Wendall]

Rivera kicking a FG down 21-9 will come back to haunt them.

 

[soxhop411]

This subway commercial needs to die.

 

[mikeot]

We have a game after all.

 

[The Needler]

This is Carolina's first time closer than 10 points behind in the 4th quarter in three games against NO.

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Now that Kelce is gone, is Olsen the best non-Greek TE left?

Maybe. Ertz is pretty damn good.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

His hands are really a joy to watch.

"So are his feet." ~ Rex Ryan

 

[Ed Hillel]

Now that Kelce is gone, is Olsen the best non-Greek TE left?

I think that would be Gronk.

Isn’t he Polish?

 

[BigSoxFan]

Saints had better get some points on this drive. Their defense isn’t offering much resistance to Cam.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Cam looks like he throws off his back foot more than anything else. Strong sumbitch.

 

[54thMA]

Carolina is an end zone drop from leading.

Carolina is a missed FG from being down by 2.

It's hard to say even if he caught that if he gets both feet down as he went into a slide and his momentum took him out of bounds.

Regardless, the missed chip shot FG afterward is huge right now.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Now that Kelce is gone, is Olsen the best non-Greek TE left?

There's a pretty good Polish tight end here in New England.

Edit: Goddamn you, Ed.

 

[tims4wins]

Delanie Walker is damn good too. Pats need to key on him

 

[pokey_reese]

Let's see if Carolina can keep the momentum here and get the ball back without giving up a score.
