Live Thread - Watching the game now, general play by play observations

[Jeremy Igo]

I usually watch the game the morning after, as I can miss a lot from the field. I figured why not start a thread to organize my thoughts and observations as the game goes on.

About that Cam penalty. I now see why no one knew what I was talking about. After the whistle, a defender shoved Cam as he stood up. The broadcast really did not show it. That is what got Cam angry and baited him into a penalty. 

[Jeremy Igo]

First series still. Cameron Artis-Payne needs more practice in the exchanges with Cam in the option. He should never be fighting Cam for the ball. Awkward.

3rd and 5, looking for Olsen, never gets off him. KB and Dickson open. 

Remmers destroyed on spin move here. 

 

pass incomplete, Cam hit.

Damn. Dickson didn't have a chance at the sticks but KB coulda fallen over for the first. 

Seeing Freeney with a clean shot at cam and 74 doing his best Byron Bell impersonation is frightening.

The broadcast showed the shove. Not that it makes a difference

They just didn't talk about it.

I've been watching the game this morning while at work. The best part so far was hearing us chant "Keep Pounding" at the start of the broadcast.

Atlanta first play from scrimmage on offense. 

Panthers bring 7 defenders. Thomas Davis clearly held, no call. 

Result, one of many Julio Jones receptions. 

At least CJ is near the QB. Ealy was chipped and taken out of the play.

olsen had a step on his guy..cam with a wild throw..should have just gone underneath to KB..easily picks up the first and it's a much easier throw..the o-line has been atrocious at protecting cam but cam has also struggled with some of his decisions and accuracy..cam is probably pressing some because he knows he doesn't have much time in the pocket

I don't see how you can watch it. Julio jones put up madden numbers on us yesterday............

[Lemory]

Thats something that ive been wondering about. It seems like Cam isn't looking at the whole field but locking in on either KB or Olsen. Plus the fact that he is getting constant pressure is probably making him look at the D-Line rather than down field.

Falcons second play from scrimmage. 

Panthers blitz again. Star doubled. No one comes close. Julio Jones all alone at the top of the screen. Another completion.

step or no step, at some point newton has to acknowledge that olsen draws coverage and consistently leaves someone like benjamin open or with single coverage and trust him enough to just give him the ball.

it's maddening to see benjamin overlooked time and time again.

The announcer kept saying how we weren't blitzing, which is the exact opposite of what we were doing. We were blitzing to much which left our DBs on a island. And the Falcons kept picking up the blitz on these play action.

 

We were playing the Falcons as if they were a run first team.
