Considering we didn't have Lattimore our CB1, thought our pass defense was okay; other than Cam and Onyemata, it looked poor...

Mr. Marcus, who's played great this season, letting some deep drops get by as Allen keyed off of Mr. Marcus all day...

So far, the dumbest play of the entire year was Cam's gut punch. C'mon man. That was a 14 point swing. We had all the momentum, and I have no doubt we go up 21-0, game over.

But Noooooooooo, we just had to find a way to **** it up.

Even if the officiating wasn't one sided, there were still too many penalties. We have to play with better discipline. We are a great team playing sloppy football. Luckily our B-game will still beat most teams we play. If we play mistake free, no one in the league can beat us.

Yep, when your best player makes the stupidest play, it's gonna be a long day...

I'd also add, while it was obvious to Saints fans what he was trying to do, NFL optics could have had him ejected, and worse!

Good Luck trying to get Ginn run across the middle - Ted's number called to go across the middle, he's hearing the footsteps before Drew calls the cadence...

Something’s not quite right with Kamara and I can’t put my finger on it. Saw a video earlier of the game winning FG and Kamara’s walking to the locker room as it’s being kicked and doesn’t look like he cares that it was made.

Latavius Murray aka Mr. Hurt had 7 carries for 60 yards and a TD today.

Just don't understand why coach moves away from pounding the ball to him late in games. This guy falls forward for a half yard and is a bruiser + the Panthers have been a bad run D all season. Chew up clock and wear out defenses late.

It simply puzzles me that we don't see more 2 RB sets with Kamara and Murray.

We abandoned the run and went way too pass happy. Had a two score lead early and against a team that can struggle against the run.
I’m convinced there is a guy in the NFL league office watching the TV ratings of every single game. When the ratings for a certain team drops so do the flags.
The NFL is going to put who they want in the SB period. Every now and then a team may get lucky and beat the refs but it’s gonna be rare. Welcome to the new NFL.

His ankle probably isn't 100%.

More reason to pound Murray late in ball games.

Not sure what game you were watching, he tees off on PJ Williams who had about 200 yds and 2TDs hung on him today.

AK hasn’t looked good running the ball, they really need to get Murray more carries. He is the better back running the ball. Let AK do his 3rd down and passing down thing.

Really haven’t been impressed with AK this year, makes me doubt he should be signed to a blockbuster deal. Can’t afford to pay everyone, and RBs are the easiest to replace.

Whoa whoa whoa. Dude AK is awesome. He's been injured. Still one of the most dynamic backs in the league.
