Panthers Saints Game Thread

[ickmule]

They still get a field goal, unfuging believable

As much as I hope I'm wrong I think the game was over when Cam threw that INT. I don't have confidence that this O can come from behind and beat Brees.

[PantherTrain84]

This is a true test, how many come from behind wins have had under Rivera? I wonder what our W/L record is in games we where trailing and came back and won. My guess is not many

[Fox007]

Competent clock management would have given new Orleans about 15 seconds. Instead they got almost a minute. Oh and they get the ball first to start the 2nd.

This ones over and hopefully so is Rivera in Carolina.

Yup, 10-0 will look like a very long time ago when the Saints are up 24-13

lolll. Delhomme got so many excuses for everything he did. Even had a good number of supporters during the 09 season still wanting him to be our QB.

After the 09 season he deserved shot, he led the team to the playoffs, he didn't deserve that new contract though. He was consistently criticized for being a bad quarterback.

I like Cam just as much or more than the next guy, but come on quit being homers.

This team is so frustrating, won't win this one either

[dugbug]

we don't look like a team on the rise, we look horrible.

Our d has been great and o O has sustained long tough drives. Have no idea what you are defining as 'horrible'

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

As Martz explained....Playcall doesn't give the QB that option like a traditional screen. It is a turn and throw play call thanks to the fake to the opposite side.

issue is Chud runs it every game lately.....easy on a defender to routinely use quirky plays. They can then blow them up

Regardless, you have to see what you are throwing too or else you are just asking for a disaster.

Exactly. Just a bad decision and throw. It happens to all QB's and is not that big if a deal.

I am more concerned with his continued issues with accuracy. He is throwing high on passes and than skipping them to wide open receivers.

Needs to spend the offseason working with Weinke again. Still a work in process as a passer and should spend lots of time on the practice field...and I believe he will.

I am more concerned with your uncanny ability to place blame at the feet of Cam Newton when things aren't going so well...including creating threads and making posts...

Yet when we win...You never fail not to mention one Cam Newton.

Agreed that was a bad decision to throw the ball. Unfortunately, similar to timing route passes, that play forces you to trust your target. Why not just run a normal screen, or just run the ball.

[MadHatter]

lol. I don't deney that. However, he has forgotten more about Pro football than 99% ( or better ) than us on thie board.

Valid point.

Cam just has to not spin and throw. We use it too often and the Saints sat on it. Bad decision. But, he had had very few of those in the past 5-6 games.

Not a biggie...just learn from it.

[Fox007]

If Cam had not skipped the pass to Murphy in the end zone we'd be fine atm as well. When this team fails, they fail all over the place.

[Fox007]

Rivera shouldn't be brought back as HC for the simple fact that he gets scored on during EVERY 2 minute drill he is faced with.

Moron just doesn't understand how to stop it. He got scored on in 30 seconds this time.

[bigskypanthersguy]

Lets see how much you like it when Beane and Rivera are our top guys next year because of it

My first priority is for us to win. Always. Losing shouldn't ever be acceptable. I wish you could share a similar mindset.
