rewatching game 1

Hilee Taylor got in on a lot of plays. I wonder what his injury status is? He hasn't been placed on IR.

Gamble has played very well so far into the 3rd.

We have been getting a lot of pressure, but warner keeps stepping up.

I think the refs are refusing to call holds this year.

The camera pans to trgo, and he has the usual dumb founded expression.

Good thread. I can't watch the game but I looked over the game play-by-play. Here are four things that stood out.

1) The problem that really killed us in the middle part of the season was a factor in this game: A SLOW START. I think this has been improved upon by both the players and the coaches. This was identified as a problem for Carolina before this game. I don't see it as an issue anymore.

2) The turnover from the Delhomme sack at the Carolina 5 yard line. The result was 7 points. Turnovers will kill you. We have lost some games this year because of them and this reminded me of the turning point against Minnesota. (I count blocked punts as a turnovers, btw) Result: 10-3

3) With an eventual 17-3 lead, early in the 3rd quarter, the Cards ran the ball four (4) times for two (2) yards and a lost fumble in the second half.

4) We controlled the ball for the final 5:57 of the game.

Field position will be key

Put them in constant bad field position with the cold weather on a short week in the east coast will be bad for them

Rep.

Lloyd plus Baker plus fast start plus ball control equals a win. The run game will gain the time of possession advantage. At home plus TOP advantage is going to be hard to beat.

after watching this game the first go-round, i thought to myself, "man, i dont want to see this team again in the playoffs..." the Cards are tough and their strength is our weakness. their D is underrated. obviously if we play how we know we can play then we'll win, but if our D doesn't have an answer to KW and they somehow stop our running game, we're screwededed.

    • Super raw, not sure he is worth a top 10 pick.  Primary a pass rusher.  A bit like Burns, very fast athletic but doesnt always follow the play.  His highlights look good but when you watch him play you can see he is just raw and needs to develop
    • Personally, I am not sold on Bryce yet--and I do not think anyone is saying they are, but I don't think Ward is on table when we draft anyway.  Not even sure if I would rather have him than one of the later QBs.  I see a lot of potential in Allar, Nussmeire, Rourke, and even Hamilton from Ohio State--Milroe is intriguing, but I am not sure he is an NFL QB.  Ewers is that sleeper who falls and becomes a solid starter. I think that we sign a veteran who has played and we draft one of these project QBs. To your point:  With that in mind, I think you have to take QB off the table in round 1, and if Bryce can string 4-5 games like KC together, we still need to draft a QB in round three or so---I really think Rourke is a great fit for this offense--he is accurate and gets the ball out quickly---he impressed me vs OSU.   Reason?  I think we may have a tough decision to make about Bryce in 2 years--will he be worth $60m?  That decision is a lot easier if you have been grooming a backup for 2 years who can play. In round 1: I am hoping for PSU's edge Abdul Carter In round 2:  I would like to see us grab a DT who can rush the passer.  Walter Nolen of Ole Miss is versatile and a bit raw. I think he could be an excellent complement to Brown. In round 3:  I would love ILB Danny Stutsman from Oklahoma.  He is a beast. With 11 picks, I would package our 4th rounders to move up into the third round and take a QB.  At the moment, I think Rourke is trending upward and he has the skills Canales seems to want in a QB.  Quick processor, quick release. I would use the fifth rounders on OL.  I know that I left out WR--however, we are getting Thielen back, XL will be improved, Coker will be improved, and Moore has been surprisingly good.  Sanders (TE) has been more than expected in the passing game.  I think we need D more than WR, and maybe we can get a veteran WR to sign or find a hidden gem late.  
    • Wouldn't be surprised if he starts a couple Jets games this year with the way the Rodgers thing is going. Giants fans are pissed they didn't keep him lol. He might actually have a little bit of a market.
