Seriously? Cam and offense was killing them on short yard plays and we play not to lose. That is all. I can't even express how angry I am right now. Rivera went back to his conservative ways and took the field goal. As long as we have that mentality, we will never win a superbowl.

that 4 and 1 punt in OT with no time to get the ball back is the kind of play call RR kept making his 1st two years that resulted in 2 losing seasons

 

a draw is a loss for both teams.. so he called a play that means in the best case scenario.. we still lose

And if we had attempted and failed, would you be okay with 3-3 as compared to 3-2-1?

What if, on top of the loss, ATL wins? Then we are tied with them at 3-3.

 

Would you also want us to go for 2 after a game tying touchdown because playing for OT is disgusting and we should be able to get 2-yards easily?

 

 

You have no idea what the fug you're talking about. 

Rivera gave the team every opportunity to win. 

He could have run the ball once we got into FG range. Instead, he threw it deep, and we would've won had Cotchery caught that pass.

 

I for one will take a tie over a loss any day of the week. Live to fight another day and enjoy the fact that we tied a game that EVERYONE expected us to lose.

I have read a lot at this forum, but never posted a post before now. I can't believe the call of not going for it at 4th and 1. It is just completely unbelievable. I serously question coach Rivera's football instincts. By kicking the ball with just a couple of minutes left in OT, the best panthers can do is a tie. With Cam destroying the Bengals with the run all game, it is just mind blowing. With 4 minutes left in OT, I said that the Panthers now has to go all in and go for the TD, because a kick would just hand the ball over to the Bengals and give them at least a tie since they could run out the clock.

 

For me, this is at the same level as the call Rivera made back in 2011 I think when he used a timeout to stop the clock for the Saints fieldgoal unit. How can you play for the draw with Cam under center? He makes the quarterback sneek almost every time....

 

Ahhh, so frustrating....

 

All the best from Northern Europe

A tie is better than a loss. A tie is what got the Packers to the playoffs.

 

Yeah it's more of an expression on my end.  Yeah, technically a tie is better than a loss...but it still feels like a loss in a way.  It's because we didn't try to win at the end.  Just weird IMO.  

 

Here's to not losing I guess haha

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
