Impressive Thing I Noticed About Cam's 3 GWTD Passes this season

I don't really post much around here anymore but I'm always lurking and following this team but something occurred to me today that was nice to recall.

 

In the New England, Miami, and home New Orleans games this year, Cam and the offense had brilliant drives in the final minute of the game capped off by TD passes to win.

 

One thing I noticed is that in each of those games, we were down by 3 points in all three of those games. Not 4, not 6. I can't help believe that if this was the team from the last two years that we would have been more content to play it safe and settle for a tying FG (and an inevitable breakdown given our recent history before this year).

 

I've gotta say this season has been a breath of fresh air with the new Riverboat Ron and Cam coming into his own as a leader. Not to mention the defense. It was great to see this team finally materialize into something great after all the flashes of potential we saw the past couple years.

 

Happy New Year's and Keep Pounding guys. :)

It's very true..in fact I remember a certain Minnesota game Cam's rookie year where they played it safe after he almost got hurt and Mare botched

if we can get those td's earlier in the game, that would let all of us live a couple extra months rather than these super high stress games we are witnessing.

wasn't that the game where we hit the huge 4th down pass to Lafell that he broke for like 50 yds, then Mare missed an absolute chip shot? RIP to my drywall that day.

 

Another reason to appreciate Gano.

Cam's game winning drives this year remind of the type of plays that Aaron Rogers and/or Brett Favre have done.

 

He's in good company......

You ain't just whistling Dixie there bro......

 

........that game we just finished put my heart into afib when we went 3 and out on that final drive and punted to the Falcons.......

 

Good grief I can't take too many more seasons/post seasons of the cardiac cats..........lol!
