Seahawks vs 49ers NFC Championship Gameday Thread

What it must be like to have offensive weapons.

[Mother Grabber]

we need OL, WR and more OL and WR.

The one gripe I had with Cam for a large portion of this season was the reluctance to take off and run after progressing through his initial reads. We are seeing in this game how a scrambling quarterback can take over a game. Screw holding the rock and waiting for someone to get a yard of separation. That's like watching paint dry with our receiving core. We took some unnecessary sacks last week because of his reluctance to just take off and get us into field goal range or move the chains. He did have some key scrambles, but I felt like we missed a couple of big opportunities in that game. 

 

It's true. His sack in the 3rd, the first one he had WIDE OPEN running lanes. He didnt have to dodge anyone, just run forward. And he had plenty of time but just held onto the ball, which is why I dont see this big fuss about our oline. He would have got a first down if he ran. His 1st season he'll take off, but over time he's settled into being a pocket passer and teams are playing him that way. The issue is if you're going to stand in the pocket, where's your weapons to throw to?

Wilson took a big shot there, but made a killer play...

[Goondal]

Okay Seattle, cash in here

[Ruff]

Calvin Pryor= Earl Thomas

We draft Pryor

Meh. Pryor that high doesn't impress me. Stanly Jean-Baptiste is just as strong at the point of the attack and is just as long, and he'll be there at the end of the 2nd.

What Kaep is doing is the "one read and shuffle" 

 

he aint even getting to the second read, but hell its working

 

what do i know lololololol

 

I could care less if Cam was making 0 reads and taking off while moving the chains and winning us the ball game.

 

There was one instance last week where we drove the field, took 2 sacks in a row, and ended up out of field goal range with 0 points. On one of the replays he had a massive hole to run through. He likely wouldn't have picked up the first, but even 5-10 yards would have given us a chance at 3 points and kept the game within reach. Coming away with 0 points there deflated us as a team and took away all momentum we may have had left.

bELL?

Sure it takes a toll, but in the playoffs it is win or go home. Cam has proven he can take a hit. He can still get down and avoid a hit after a long run and has shown he is pretty good at avoiding the big punishing hits that QBs like RGIII and Kaepernick expose themselves to.

I've seen Cam take a lot punishment in games, he does what he has to, but there's only so much load a quarterback can take in the run game. Neither of us have done what these guys are at that level, so it's pretty much impossible to relate. Kaepernick has a hell of an OL, and Gore, that helps...

What a waste

Are u kidding me? Did u watching the Bronco's game? Peyton had all year to throw his balls. And u wonder why this team will never get to that competitive level.

I think there is a really big emphasis on Cam staying in the pocket

 

Next year, we should see more of balance

[Wanderlai]

getting in the reading but not getting 7...sounds like us.

To prove your point:

@billvoth: In his last 7 games, Cam Newton was sacked 20 times on 199 attempts.

Peyton’s been sacked 3 times in his last 7 on 292 attempts.
