cdrudge Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Word... Steve Smith, 39 yard TD reception. 215 yards so far. 1267848[/snapback] 3 more and with another 8+ minutes to go, no sign of the end of his game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giantsfan Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Lucas was wide open on that play and Grossman hit him right between the #'s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Nice win for the Panthers!! That pick should seal the deal. The NFC Championship game should be GREAT, so much for the much AFC though, at least the NFC will give us a show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 It's just strange to me how in the world these teams get beat by Smith when he is their only passing weapon. Jake throws to him like 75% of the time. The Giants had the same issue last week. I just don't get it. He MUST be doubled every play period. And why Chic doesn't have Vasher following him ALL over the field is a mystery to me as well. 1267886[/snapback] I spent the entire game thinking the same thing. Carolina is a one-trick pony - if you take the trick away, there's nothing left. Smith is great at getting separation, but why not just double him up with two guys within 10 feet? Even if he still got some passes, it would surely limit his YAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooGie Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Lucas was wide open on that play and Grossman hit him right between the #'s. 1267957[/snapback] man...that was funny. In fairness, Grossman really had a great game..he was no match for CAR, but next year..he's gonna tear it up...I said earlier MIN would win that division next year, but after Rex, i think he's another Rothlisberger...he'll own...period.

gilthorp Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 Good entertainment today. Glad to see the Bears come from behind and try to make a game of it. It seemed as though Carolina was one step ahead of the Bears on every play. You have to give props to the Panthers coaching staff that clearly out-prepared the Bears staff. The Bears D has nowhere to go but up, but I put this game on their shoulders, as I'm sure they are. If anyone knew that Chicago would put 21 points on the board, I'll bet most everyone would have thought they would win. This was gravy and good experience for the Bears. They'll only get better--too bad they couldn't stop Smith today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad he's on our side.. *whew* CHI is gonna be great with an offense that gets enough time to click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They MUST have gameplanned for Smith, surely? It's not like Carolina is an offensive hydra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I can think, is he must just be that good, to get that open even with double coverage... I doubt its the playcalling either, i mean, it doesn't matter the play, it's "hey, i think they're throwing to 89...yup, i was right...hey, 89 again, i think" I'm just so glad he's on my team...

Grits and Shins Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 I think we learned a few things: 2. These young QB's need playoff games before they can get it done. Simms, Eli, Leftwich, and Grossman. Seems clear you need a few playoff games under your belt before you are ready 1267592[/snapback] You left Peyton off that list ... oh wait ... he's not so young anymore :doah: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
