rewatching game 1

[hdevonxz]

Post your comments here from the 1st game.

I'm watching it right now.

Kemo came up huge on that FF in the 3rd. We really need him back.

Lol why is sir purr dressed up like fred flinstone?

Hilee Taylor got in on a lot of plays. I wonder what his injury status is? He hasn't been placed on IR.

Gamble has played very well so far into the 3rd.

We have been getting a lot of pressure, but warner keeps stepping up.

I think the refs are refusing to call holds this year.

The camera pans to trgo, and he has the usual dumb founded expression.

Moose needs to hold on to the ball!

Wow... how did Smitty just do that?

They can't tackle DeAngelo but then again who can?

Thank God, Godfrey thought they called that time out to run a trick play!

That's why we need to get Jarrett more involved in the offense!

Good thread. I can't watch the game but I looked over the game play-by-play. Here are four things that stood out.

1) The problem that really killed us in the middle part of the season was a factor in this game: A SLOW START. I think this has been improved upon by both the players and the coaches. This was identified as a problem for Carolina before this game. I don't see it as an issue anymore.

2) The turnover from the Delhomme sack at the Carolina 5 yard line. The result was 7 points. Turnovers will kill you. We have lost some games this year because of them and this reminded me of the turning point against Minnesota. (I count blocked punts as a turnovers, btw) Result: 10-3

3) With an eventual 17-3 lead, early in the 3rd quarter, the Cards ran the ball four (4) times for two (2) yards and a lost fumble in the second half.

4) We controlled the ball for the final 5:57 of the game.

Field position will be key

Put them in constant bad field position with the cold weather on a short week in the east coast will be bad for them

Rep.

Lloyd plus Baker plus fast start plus ball control equals a win. The run game will gain the time of possession advantage. At home plus TOP advantage is going to be hard to beat.

Steve Smith is the best WR in the league...unbelievable.

Fox also seems to step up the gameplanning and throws out some of the conservativeness. Also jake has just been great when we are in the playoffs with stats better then both Manning's.

after watching this game the first go-round, i thought to myself, "man, i dont want to see this team again in the playoffs..." the Cards are tough and their strength is our weakness. their D is underrated. obviously if we play how we know we can play then we'll win, but if our D doesn't have an answer to KW and they somehow stop our running game, we're screwededed.

Amen

[hdevonxz]

we should get smith more involved.

I bet were undefeated when smith gets the ball 10 or more times.
