No one ever said more TOP lead to more scoring. Theoretically, it's supposed to keep the other offense off the field so they don't score as much.

 

The problem with it is we chew up the clock but kick a field goal or punt and when you do that against a high-powered NFL offenses, it's just a recipe for disaster unless you field an elite defense. When you start throwing in mistakes or frequent 3 and out's because your offense has no rhythm, well you get the 2014 Carolina Panthers.

 

Rivera-ball just leaves such a razor thin margin for error because of the fact he's playing field position or for a field goal when he need to cap off a long drive with a TD.  I have no issue with ball control offense if the result is a TD, but Rivera seems to be just fine if a TD isn't the end result.

I agree. What we're doing isn't working and I don't like ultra conservative "don't fug it up" offense. I was just pointing out that more TOP is not necessarily intended to score a lot of points.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.
