Gamble

I still don't get how people don't realize that Larry Fitzgerald was not the one who beat us today. He had a typical WR day. No touchdowns. No really huge plays. They did not gain any momentum on his plays. Rather, deficiences in the rest of the secondary, namely wide open receivers down the field not name Larry Fitzgerald, were the problem. We executed our plan to contain, not stop, Larry Fitzgerald. In that we succeeded. Now quit trying to pin this on gamble.

For the record, Gamble did not have a "bad" day.

However, he was not "impressive" to me given the fact he had help with Fitz most the game, and still got beat on a couple big gains.

Yes, you are. Barring injury, this game today will likely rank as one of the worst of the year for Fitz. If we see these guys again, I will be very happy to give Fitz another day like today.

If I wasn't broke, I would put down some cash that this prediction does not come true.

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.

Well, kinda like Cam Newton, Kevin Kolb may just be better than we all think. Was not a Kolb fan or a hater, but he made some nice throws into some tight windows. The only reason Fitz didn't have more yards and more touchdowns was because He wasnt open. Looks to me like Gamble did a fine job.

Butler didnt play did he?

You can't blitz as much as Carolina did and still double receivers. And until that last catch, a perfect throw with decent coverage, Fitz had 2 catches for ~ 30 yards. Gamble played a good game against arguably the best receiver in the NFL.

Wow, Watching the game over again. I have to say that Gamble had Help a lot less then some in here are making it out to be. He had a safety deep on quite a few plays, but he was still man on Fitz for most of the game and held him to 3 catches. The First bigish play was on Gamble, he was supposed to cut under the WR tighter and that's why it was a Catch.

Gamble's job on the deep throw was to Jam him and run with him, the safety was supposed to have the deep covered and already be there. If the safety's there like he's supposed to be, then that isn't a catch. More likely an interception for Martin or Gamble.

Gamble played excellent.
