Gotta give them some slack. Giants have an outstanding set of receivers. Could argue they have the best trio of receivers in the league. I knew we would struggle defending all of them.

They did make some serious coverage mistakes though, but I think that's just rust they'll be able to shake off as the season goes on.

The Giants receivers? :nonod:

They're middle of the pack right now. Their Steve Smith is good. The rest aren't that special.

We made them look better than they are, today.

Yes. Manningham, Nicks, and Smith each accounted for nearly 3k yards in 2009.

I didn't say they were all elite, but together they make a pretty good trio.

I think that has more to do with this guy.

He's not his brother, but he's not bad either.

Smith is good. Nicks is getting better but still raw. Manningham? Not a big fan.

Like I said, we made them look better than I believe they really are.

I like Gamble BUT!

After watching the game again I took some notes JUST on Gamble. He did not play too bad MOST of the game, HOWEVER that #20 was seen sliding around on the ground a few glaring times all during a short window of GAME TIME.

1) 3rd quarter 03:29 when #82 Manningham stood there flat footed while he dove at his feet behind #82.

2) 3rd quarter 03:02 when he was WAY out of position on #82 Manningham from over commenting to the inside and then seemed to just wait for #30 Godfrey to hit the guy.

NOTE these happened to be BACK to BACK plays! Maybe he was gassed??

3) 4th quarter 11:44 when #44 Bradshaw walk right bye him for a score.

I will say it looked like #30 Godfrey was having to pick up some of the slack today (at least during this part of the game). I bet he #30 is really sore after all that running to help someone out of position or when they were failing to make the hit and stop someone.

Between the two, Marshall was worse. Gamble wasn't that bad, but wasn't great either.

In my mind, both were equally bad today. Marshall got caught gambling without the right help over the top while Gamble flat out let his man get behind him without safety coverage. Moreover, I can't tell that there was a play in front of him to split his attention. He's supposed to be our shutdown guy and he was getting toasted all day.

Maybe he is used to being able to make the cuts on turf that isn't wet, but I lay at least 10 points at his feet today. Our front 7 did too good to have this mess kill us on what is supposed to be a strength of our D.

The other was the 2nd half breakdown of our OLine... but that's another discussion entirely.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
