Sunday Games Thread: Bills/Jaguars and Panthers/Saints

[Palm Beach Pats Fan]

He turned around and got hit like a Mack truck. Maybe we’re not talking about the same hit because if we were, I don’t think there’s any way you would believe he was faking that.

The post game analysts are saying that the Carolina coaches were yelling at Cam to drop to a knee to give the backup QB enough time to warm up. If he walked off, the refs would have started the play clock.

Humbled today, but atleast my bracket is still perfect.

Disappointed with the run game for the jags today. I expected better. Pittsburgh might take it to them next week.
Saints almost blew the game. I don’t see them beating minnesota.

 

[Brady6]

Except Cam actually absorbs highlight reel hits and Ben doesn’t.

He probably weighs around 280lbs so he should be able to absorb hits.

If the Falcons and Saints both win, and then the Saints beat the Falcons, the Saints will have this geographic progression in the playoffs:

New Orleans, Minnesota, New Orleans, Minnesota

 

[Betterthanmost]

Why do the Patriots win so much? Situational awareness -- something that Cam lacks entirely. Yikes.

He was panicking during the last drive. He needs to work on his composure. It may come with time or he will become just a very good QB instead of what his potential shows.

IT will be NE VS NO

IT will be NE VS NO

I sure hope so. Congratulations on a great win though, enjoy tonight!

Gee you don't say. I say that and I get personally attacked here

Not sure how we beat new orleans earlier in the year, they seem unbeatable. Pitt, NO, and Atlanta I think are the only teams that COULD beat NE.

On to the Titanbergers though.

I don't think Atlanta can beat us.

All in all, a good weekend of games, can't wait until Saturday night!!!!!!

 

[Wheelman]

Thomas is so underrated better than jjones in falcons

Man you're being a homer just like a couple of years ago on here when you tried to justify that Jimmy Graham was better than Gronk.

 

[jimnance]

MN will give NO a game

I agree. Should be close game but I see Saints prevailing.

 

[RobertWeathers]

They should. More balanced team.

Haven't been following the thread but the DB who pulled in the INT on 4th and 2 before the final drive might have cost them the game. That is a huge field position difference. My guess is the Patriots wouldn't do that; they are coached differently. Really bad situational awareness.

Mc Courty did it this season.

Devin McCourty picks off Josh McCown's fourth-down pass

""We wanted [Newton] to sit down [near the sideline] to give [backup QB Derek Anderson] a chance to warm up," Rivera explained. "I mean, he was injured. Instead of trying to bravely walk off, we wanted him to take a knee to give our guy a couple of throws."

Cam Newton clears concussion protocol in loss

 

[The Brandon Five]

Did Cam get teabagged on that sack?

No but he did absorb a helmet-to-helmet hit and was hit technically after he was already downed.

 

[Silver Blue&Red]

Any Cam Newton presser sighting?

I've got my popcorn ready.

 

[PatriotsNumero1Fan]

They should. More balanced team.

Much better defense and secondary. Should be a good game. If the saints win that game they likely will make the super bowl.

 

[Nehalem]

So in the Wild card round.

We had one QB(Bortles) who rushed for more yards than he passed for

And another(Mariota) who can throw and catch the ball himself
