Just how bad was that end zone pick by DA?

[UNCrules2187]

Quote

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.

anderson is terrible in the redzone: pass it from the 1 with the game on the line

anderson is great between the 20s: run it three times from the 20 with the game on the line

 

SHUUUUUULAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Russel Wilson did it in the Superb Owl right?

1. Jeff Buckley - Grace
2. Oasis - Definitely Maybe
3. Weezer - Weezer
4. Portishead - Dummy
5. Nirvana - MTV Unplugged In New York
6. Green Day - Dookie
7. Nas - Illmatic
8. Blur - Parklife
9. Soundgarden - Superunknown
10. Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral

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.

That was on 2nd down, not 1st.

A pass play on 1st and goal. Fu*k it we should've called the field goal unit out on 1st down. People Mike Shula is a horrible OC. He could be a good guy personally. Hell his dad is Don Shula, but dude does alot of bad play calling. He has to go!!!

And the game wasn't tied

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

DA is a decent backup. He is the backup for a reason.

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
