Did Newton play well today... you tell me

Mixed bag today. Made some crucial mistakes so you can't say he played well, but he also made some big time plays and we moved the ball fairly well overall.

But it wasn't like he was just awful out there.

But no, he didn't play well. It seemed like no one played well enough today except the defense.

he was lights out in the first half until that stupid throw to steve that PP21 picked off in the endzone. steve had him beat by 5 yards and cam horribly underthrew it.

Unless PP21's arms are 15 feet long than he couldn't of had him beat by 5 yards because PP21 had a hand on him the whole time.

Bad throw though

Other than the INT, I thought he played very well in the 1st half.  I thought he played very poorly in the 2nd half.  Then again, our coaching staff did a very poor job of countering the adjustments the Chiefs made in the 2nd half.  The 2nd half was just an embarrassment.  That's pretty much the story of the Ron Rivera error... uh, I mean "era".

This.  Smitty has to stop lobbying so much for the ball.  Try catching the ones thrown your way first.  A couple of years ago, Smitty single covered deep was a shot you take.  These days, Smitty single covered by one of the best CBs in the league isn't a shot that you take.  That's just the reality.

maybe 5 yards is exaggerating, but it literally happened right in front of my seats, steve had him beat and if it was a better thrown ball i think its an easy TD

He played amazing the first half, but then the offense as a whole had a fuging meltdown in the second half... I have no idea what the hell happened in that locker room at half time, but the team came out flat as hell the second half.  And that's probably an understatement.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Everyone knew the catch was secured and didn't move. That was clear to the entire audience. The only ones who thought it wasn't a catch were in the NYC home office. They knew they'd just offer an apology the next day.

      Canales is holding us back

      By RumHam · Posted

      NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
