10/25 - 49ers at Patriots

[scotian1]

Time to change up the QB!

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

Jesus

 

[Ferm Sheller]

Let's get the ball back on the very next play.

 

[timelysarcasm]

Please take him out.

 

[Ralphwiggum]

I mean I guess there was a reason nobody else was interested in him.

 

[ifmanis5]

Where is the Cam of the first three weeks? What happened?

 

[Captaincoop]

How many posts have you made in this thread alone complaining about a guy that wouldn't be on the field if not for opt outs?

Does he play Quarterback?

 

[Mystic Merlin]

I can’t fathom what he was seeing there.

 

[RorschachsMask]

Wonder if we are getting close to them considering Stidham.

 

[Harry Hooper]

That's enough Cam for now. Stidham needs work for next week.

 

[Ale Xander]

If the Celtics have their season opener during week 16 or 17 of the Pats, I think I may be watching the C's.

 

[Mooch]

That was one of the worst/dumbest throws from a Pats QB since the Hugh Millen Experience.

 

[A Bad Man]

Suboptimal.

 

[MonstahsInLeft]

Seems like he’s just lost in this offense. I mean no practice can excuse last week a bit but you’d hope for a hell of a lot better than this after a normal week.

 

[E5 Yaz]

I don't think anyone tonight will admire Cam admitting he has to play better

 

[Soxy]

Where is the Cam of the first three weeks? What happened?

Uh he got COVID-19

 

[Captaincoop]

Note for the Cam narrative: this started before Covid. He was just as bad against Vegas as he was against Denver, the team just won the game.

 

[Kliq]

Not ready to completely punt on Cam but this is kind who he is. Really physically talented; can get hot and make some extremely impressive plays, but in between those plays are a lot of poor decisions and inaccurate throws.

 

[A Bad Man]

Hoyer-esque.

 

[cshea]

He had a clear lane of vision to that. No idea why he thought he could complete that pass.

 

[McBride11]

Nice catch by 54. I miss our 54.

May have to reverse course on seeing Stid this game. Cam looks terrible so far, maybe lingering rona effects, other injury, or just playing like shit.

 

[Dim13]

Let’s see if the kid can play.

I’m ready for this.

 

[ifmanis5]

Kyed on Cam's INT throw:
That was one of the worst throws I've ever seen in an NFL game

 

[Dollar]

I have flashbacks to watching Drew Bledsoe in 2000. Get Cam out of there.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

“Fuck me” from Cam.

Actually, all of us, pal.

i hate being THAT guy, but boy, am I that guy.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

We’re so awful on both sides of the ball.

 

[scottyno]

Does he play Quarterback?

No, the guy that does looked fine when he had a real offensive line and before he got covid

 

[Reggie's Racquet]

Maybe when Cam had Covid he lost his sense of touch...not taste.

 

[RorschachsMask]

Romo, a LB running with Meyers isn’t that impressive.

 

[mwonow]

Hoyer-esque.

Not a compiement

 

[Van Everyman]

Basically what Bill engineered for this season was an older, inferior in every way (compared to last year) team...with a distinctly inferior QB. The results are entirely predictable.

This team looked pretty damn pesky the first several weeks of the season. They played the Seahawks and Chiefs really well. But the COVID stuff has clearly thrown them off and Cam hasn’t looked the same since he came back. Which matters since he was the key to making our offense work.

No they didn’t have a margin for error but they’ve had some pretty bad luck this year.

 

[Jed Zeppelin]

I guess I wish they would commit more to running the ball but 3rd down is basically a death knell if you have to throw right now.

 

[axx]

SF is just going to run all day

 

[Captaincoop]

You've heard of Dont'a Hightower, Patrick Chung and Marcus Cannon, right?

Hightower is the only real loss there. They're better at safety with Phillips and Dugger than they were with Chung.

If you want excuses you can always find them in the NFL. In summary, this team is not very good and Cam Newton needs to sit.

 

[PseuFighter]

so, was the seattle game an aberration?

 

[ilol@u]

Sigh.

Complaining about the QB in a game that they won by two TDs and had 250 yards rushing is bizarre, but okay.

This logic is bad. QBs can play like shit and the team can still win. Doesn't mean we can't call the QB out for playing like shit.

 

[bsj]

2020 sucks on every level. I miss Mondays not sucking.

 

[Preacher]

Defense is getting gashed.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Our beloved defense isn’t flying to the ball

 

[bsj]

Is there anyone on the field that didnt know Deebo Samuel was getting the ball there? Except for 11 guys in blue?

 

[Pandemonium67]

O and D both, we getting trucked.

 

[FisksFinger]

This is just a beat down so far, I’d say they need a turnover but then it’s just Cam fucking up again

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Our best front seven player hurt, GREAT

 

[PhilPlantier]

Our DBs don’t tackle so much as just get in the way.

 

[Stu Nahan]

They are not good

 

[E5 Yaz]

Defense is getting gashed.

True ... but they need the offense to keep them off the field for a few minutes

 

[ngruz25]

That was one of the worst/dumbest throws from a Pats QB since the Hugh Millen Experience.

Nothing will beat the Brady floater INT against the Jets, which we forgive because... well, it's Tom.

 

[Zincman]

Can we still "Tank for Trevor" ?

 

[ifmanis5]

Possession time is 18 mins to 5 mins.

 

[eddiew112]

And there goes our only decent front 7 player

 

[cshea]

so, was the seattle game an aberration?

Yes and Seattle's defense was historically bad through the opening few weeks.
