Well he was playing unconscious in the second half so that explains a lot

Yea, it's Cam so defenders are going to take their shots at him. We have to really be careful with him. I think he just didn't see him tbh.

I've watched every game Cam has played since Spring 2010.  That is the first and only time I've seen him caught unawares on the field while running the ball.

Seriously.

It was bound to happen eventually, I guess.

It would take a lot more than what the Saints dished out today to hurt THAT melon...just sayin.

You are mistaken. ANY hit on any player that is clearly targeted at the head or neck area is a penalty. It's a judgment call that the ref makes, depending on the situation. QBs in the pocket get it every time, as do defenseless receivers, but runners can also draw the penalty.

That will pretty much never be called in a situation where a runner is tucking and a defender is coming in at a perpendicular.

I've seen it called. All depends on the severity and how intentional it looked. Ref's discretion though, ultimately.

I think Cam will be using the ice tub tonight. Rightly deserved too. Saints were out to cause damage.

Was thinking the same thing...Shula called 1-too-many QB keeps-calls. I'd put money on a mild concussion and a strained mcl on that sack. 

I would love for this team to go undefeated, but not at the expense of Cam's health. 

3-0 in the playoffs is what I want...not worried about the first 16-games. We need a healthy team and Olsen, Stew and Cam got beat up pretty bad today.

I keep hearing people say time and again that Newton will never make it in the NFL because he gets hit too much.

He took a pounding, to the body, to the legs, to the head today... HE THREW 5 TOUCHDOWN PASSES.

Cam Newton falls OUTSIDE of your standard NFL Venn diagram, bitches.

Very true but we all want cam to last 10+ years. As his career goes on look for him to be more like Farve in the fact that he can still escape and be elusive but he will not run after the LOS as much or 4th and 1s. We want cam here for a long time.

This just reminds me of my middle school players that I coach. They have to pee like every 5 freakin' minutes. Lol
