Quote from his post game on Greg taking the blame. 

"Greg is a pro's pro," Newton said after the defeat. "When the game is on the line, I think we all know who I am going to go to."

Benji also said:

"Greg is a great teammate," Benjamin said. "He's one of those guys that prides himself on making plays for the team. But it wasn't all on Greg."

Every receiver or tight end has drops, even the greatest of them.

Going away from a great player like Greg Olsen because of some drops in one game would be absolutely idiotic.

Agreed.  I think Olsen may have been our best offensive player this season.

in key situations? when you HAVE to make the play? When the season is on the line I don't recall Gates or Tony G dropping the ball if you're gonna give other players on the team hell for fuging up its only right he is too. Nobody gets a pass for costing us the game

Yes, Gates, Gonzalez, Steve Smith, Jerry Rice and several others have dropped passes in key situations.  It happens plenty.

Greg Olsen is the reason we've won a lot of games and a big reason we were even in that game yesterday.

To suggest we need to move away from him is ridiculously stupid.

Love Greg, but that may have been his worst game ever yesterday.  The drop on the the final drive, the drop on the two point conversion, and the catch that was ruled incomplete that carried him out of bounds that he usually finds a way to complete inbounds...  just felt like he couldnt get out of his own way.

But funny thing is, Cam, Olsen, and Benji are probably the least of our worries.

4th quarter last year against the saints, 4th down, Cam throws an off target duck to a wide open Greg Olsen who dives backwards and catches it for a first to keep the drive going.

He's made the catch before. He'll do it again.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
