I thought Martin was late coming over to help on that last catch and it also looked like Gamble missed a little on the jam.

Pugh, on the other hand, was abused.

indeed

Gamble looked back at the 1st down stick to try and make a play.

I believe he was trying to jump a short 1st down route and Fitz got him on the deeper route.

Again he held the best WR in football to 4-5 catches ?

Not a bad day at the office.

Yep...said the same thing to my buddy. Gamble got a decent jam, but not a great one. Fitz is big and physical...it is hard to get a great jam on him at the LOS.

Pugh looked like crap.

He had a good game, but the staple of a top corner is making the big stops when it matters the most, unfortunately he didn't do that. But we did get the ball back with a shot to win.

The reverse is also true. The staple of a top receiver is making clutch plays, and Fitz made very few of those today, thanks in large part to Gamble.

FYI - Even after this game, Kevin Kolb has thrown more picks than TDs in his career with a 77.6 rating in 8 starts...

He just put up almost 30% of his total yardage in this one game than he has had in his BEST YEAR.

Our Secondary did not do well. Gamble... did not play well. I'm sorry.

You are wrong about Gamble. I thought Fitz would get 150 yards and a couple of td's.

He WAS right there with Fitz....the BEST WR in the game.

Your expectation of a corner completely shutting down the best WR in the game on every play is laughable. You MUST have saftey help on that route...and Sherod Martin was late coming over.

Gamble did a very nice job on Fitz today.

If that completion would have happened in the first quarter it would have been no big deal. It's that Gamble gave that completion up at the worst possible time. I'm not a Gamble hater by any means he's by far the best corner we have on the team and I honestly think he has the talent to be a great corner....he just doesn't go full speed all the time and it burns him bad more times then not. As someone already said the completion ended up not mattering really but at the time it was a back breaker and I've seen it happen to Gamble too many times in the past. Gamble played well today but his play has always had room for improvement and with as much money as he's making people are going to expect a lot out of him. You're right the safety was late but Gamble was beat on that play....

Are you REALLY that ignorant about football.

Kolbs stats came on two plays....the busted coverage to King and the bonehead defensive call on the Doucet pass.

Other than that....Kolb had less than 200 yds passing.

Geesh...my wife apparently knows more about football than you do.
