Cover 3, Divisional Round: Seattle Fed Jimmy Graham Crackers To The Birds

Cover 3, Divisional Round: Seattle Fed Jimmy Graham Crackers To The Birds

Plus, the AFC Championship-bound Patriots have an IR that’s talented enough to win the Super Bowl and more officiating hijinks

Which impact player had the worst performance of the weekend, Jimmy Graham or Andrew Luck?

BOADU: If Jimmy Graham double and tripled covered, there’s not much he can do. It’s up to Sean Payton to find more creative ways to get him the ball. Now, Andrew Luck, the ball is always in his hands. He’s the leader of the team, so it falls on him whether or not the Colts win or lose. He’s played with bi-polar quarterback disorder the past two weeks. He was able to overcome it last week, but not this week. Worst Performance of the weekend goes to Andrew Luck in a landslide.

CARR: Hard to blame a player who’s being double and triple covered. Interesting, though, that Michael Bennett of the Seahawks noted that Graham can’t block and is only used on passing situations (because when he wasn’t, the run game was in trouble). That would have made things a lot easier for the already dominant Seattle defense to see what was coming. Still, this one is on Luck. Too many interceptions. But he’s a young guy, and I’m not worried that he’ll bounce back.

DUNSON: Before the game, Graham was real conspicuous. He was already the NFL’s most invisible 6-6 tight end, but he was wagging his finger in the face of Seattle’s defenders made him a target. They sent that man a message out there. Seattle has some big corners and Graham found himself unable to pick on somebody his own size. Once the game started Jimmy Graham disappeared like Barrett Robbins before the Super Bowl. Just one catch?
