Game Thread W6 - Carolina V Atlanta (1 Viewer)

This will be pinned once we're underway.

Please help everyone out by starting what you see from this game ie instead of "WOW", how about "WOW Arian Foster just busted a 50 yarder right through the middle", anything that helps out fantasy owners not watching the game.

Also please try and focus discussion on the game at hand.

Ryan threw a beautiful deep ball but White was mugged in the end zone, ball went right through the arms though, maybe still should have caught it. Turner gets the 1 yard plunge.

Our defense is so bad. I'm not enjoying watching them at all this year. I'd be inclined to say we are one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Not talent wise, but scheme wise.

OMG- Carolina lined up in a goaline situation and ACTUALLY gave the ball to a RB.

As someone who started Stewart this week I say THANK YOU!!!

Really sad that they finally tried to blitz a couple guys on a 3rd down and it got stone walled badly and got zero pressure. Probably drop into the soft 3rd down zone from now on but I guess maybe it doesn't matter what they try, they stink.

Frustrating day for White owners, he was ineterfered with for the second time in an end zone target.

Looked like Newton and Smith were going to have a TD but Moore got a hand on the ball when crossing in the opposite direction with a receiver on a different level. Luck not with the #1 receivers in the first half.

Tipped pass by a crossing defender results in a Cam Newton INT. Looked like a sure TD to Steve Smith had it gotten through.

Where are these holes when DeAngelo is running?

Cam taunting the hapless Falcon's defense enroute to his TD!

Haha, that was beautiful - the Falcons defense is a trainwreck...!

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Stewart's block on Weatherspoon was the key to that Newton TD run.

Roddy White just got smacked early with a helmet to helmet blow and no flag.

 

[biggamer3]

Matt Ryan is not that good

 

[shadyridr]

matt ryan looks awful. whats the deal here?

 

[Master of Past and Present]

That a way big man! Peters picks off Newton on the screen attempt.

 

[Master of Past and Present]

Turner punches in from 2 for a nice 139 yd, 2 TD day.

 

[Manster]

Nice pass Newton! how did you not see that 300 pounder?

 

[Bhdevault]

Finally, a solid looking outing on both sides of the ball. Garbage time for Newton should do my fantasy team some good. Funny rooting AGAINST my starting QB today.

Defense doing some stat padding with a last second INT by DeCoud

 

[sports_fan]

With 3 INTs, Newton's stats look a lot worse than his play did. He was solid most of the game. His first INT was nearly a TD, his second came on a screen pass where the DL made a great one handed catch for the pick, and his final pick came as he floated one into the endzone as time expired. In the first half he led the Panthers on several long time consuming drives picking up timely first downs with runs and short accurate throws. Had the ball bounced his way things could have been much different.

Newton looked great when the offensive line was stone walling the Atlanta rush, he looked like a rookie once some pressure got through. Not sure if the Panther line got tired or the Falcon line got energized or found a weakness but the game was won by finally gettng to Newton.
