Just how bad was that end zone pick by DA?

Derek Anderson mostly threw the ball well in his third start for Carolina (all of which have come against Tampa Bay), but he committed some costly turnovers in the final 15 minutes. First, he made a good decision to scramble on a third down, but fumbled on the way to the ground. Then, after driving the offense to a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line, Anderson inexplicably forced a throw into double-coverage, and Brent Grimes came away with a diving interception. Grimes is usually the one falling on his face in these moments, but he read this one all the way. Question is, why would the Panthers even go with the pass on first down? Maybe this is where Newton's rushing was missed, but a simple handoff there for a running team like Carolina would have made a lot of sense. Blake Bortles (2015), Andy Dalton (2013), Jay Cutler (2013) and Ryan Fitzpatrick (2012) are the last four quarterbacks to throw an interception on first-and-goal from the 1-yard line. No one has done it in a 4QC/GWD situation since Brett Favre (2006), and no one has thrown an interception from the 1-yard line on any down in a tied game in the fourth quarter since at least 1994. So this was epically bad from Anderson, and certainly not funny for Carolina fans.

NEVER BEEN DONE SINCE NINETEEN NINETY FOUR.

I didn't like really the call, but that doesn't mean DA had to throw into a crowd like that either. Throw it out the back of the endzone and live to play another down. Easily DA's fault, but hey, that's why he's a backup.

Someone on here said it earlier; DA is good for about 10 passes. After that, you can expect an INT soon. That's why Shula ran the ball 3 times on that last time. He didn't trust DA. Too bad he trusted him to make a goal line pass.

He also had 2 or 3 other passes that could have been picked; including one that should have been a pick 6

Russel Wilson did it in the Superb Owl right?

Until yesterday this was the worst call I'd ever seen, but at least it was second down with 20 seconds left and they were behind. 

If anyone ever asks what "getting cute" means I'll forever recount the tale of the panthers letting their backup QB pass the ball on 1st and goal at the 1.

The one time you think "Yeah I'm glad we have Shula here.  Lets punch it in on that backup D line"  NOPE, FULL THROTTLERETARD

    • 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. 
    • 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.
