House Money (Dear Coach Rivera)

Dear Coach Rivera,

Crazy the way things work sometimes and what do you know we got lucky and made our way into the Tournament when for quite some time that looked like an impossibility. We put our money down on 59 black and damned if it didn't hit.

 

Well guess what, were playing with house money now and it's time to go a little crazy. That conservative instinct you're feeling entering Playoff week one? Brush it aside. Be bold, take a chance, tell Shula to light it up, blitz a little more, go for it. Trust your offense and defense to make the plays on the field. They've stood by you during this entire season and never quit so pay them back and let them do what they're capable of. 

Trust the luck, don't look back and take no prisoners.

 

Good Luck, God Speed,

Teh Huddle

After failing to score on 4th and goal last year against SF, I doubt Rivera ever gambles in a situation like that again.

All I ask is that they let Cam be Cam!

 

That was the right call and 10 out of 10 times he should make the same call.  The SECOND time they got stuff I have no idea why they didn't play-action pass to Olsen.

If it is 4th and goal and it's the playoffs, you should go for it more times than not. Settling for a chip shot FG might work against a team like Arizona, but even if they fail they have to face our D backed up in a tough situation. We just can't let them have a big run that changes the dynamic of the game like we have a couple times this season.

So you guys honestly think Rivera will untuck his sack if presented this same situation Saturday?

History says he doesn't. He was basically in the same situation later that quarter when it was 4th and goal on the SF 2 and he kicked the FG. I hate settling for FG's and would like to see the ball in Cam's hands every time in that spot.

^^^This, its worth risking the 3pts for a chance to either score or make them get the ball back at their own 1, why not go for it in those situations is beyond me

They finally realized there was a QB bootleg in the playbook a couple weeks ago.

I think the game might be close so actually I think that field goals may very well decide the game.  So going for it on 4th and 1 may not be the best thing on Saturday.  Particularly if it rains and points are a premium.  That is the problem with folks here they often make blanket statements when most things in life are actually situational calls and depend on the circumstances.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      it's pretty simple IMO.  The Tepper Panthers are the most unsuccessful professional sports in all of sports.  The problem isn't the posters here have changed.  The product dictates the atmosphere more than anything.  In reality, the daily convos about THE worst team in all of pro sports on a fanatics site....is going to feature harsh and critical convo.  Only one entity can actually change that.  It's the Carolina Panthers football team.

      Yes message boards will always include that sort of stuff… However, this place has been a cess pool since the team took Bryce Young over CJ Stroud. It becomes a problem when it is accepted and promoted, which it has been here (even by at least one mod). Many posters sole purpose on this board is to try to dunk on others for having different opinions. We just had one write a novella on how talking about Bryce Young’s game winning drives “needs to stop”…after a win. They don’t want real conversation. It “needs to stop”. There are many posters here who literally only show up after losses to dead thread and try to dunk on others about the QB (MRenshaw is an easy example). I really don’t see much of that happening the other way around. There’s too many people that would rather the team be bad so they can feel justified for constant doom and gloom and negative opinions. It’s been pointed out by many over the past couple years. This just isn’t a place to have football discussions anymore because of the constant hyperbole. If you don’t subscribe to “Bryce Young is the worst QB ever who can’t throw the ball further than 5 yards and is the reason why we lose any game we lose and doesn’t help in any game we win”, then you are labeled a Bryce Young Stan.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      if you believe he is watching every NFL game.....every week.....go right ahead.  I get it, he said something you like.  But that's like believing the talking heads on the ESPN shows are watching all the games.  You think Stephen A is watching the Panthers every Sunday too?  If Stephen A needs to go on First Take he certainly can pretend like he has watched every snap any player on the roster has taken lol.   No one is that isn't a Panther fan has been watching the 9-25 career go down every Sunday.  Or even a lot of Sunday's.  You know who knows more about Bryce Young than Long? The collective huddle.  What they are reviewing is stat sheets, highlights and in summaries.  It's an old formula lol.
