An in-depth look at our fourth-quarter.offense (or lack thereof)

Recommended Posts

Our scoring in the fourth quarter has been so bad I laughed as I looked this up. In the fourth quarter alone...

  • We have ONE fourth-quarter touchdown in the last seven games;
  • Since the loss to the Saints, we've been out-scored 71-15 in the fourth quarter;
  • All told, we've been out-scored 136-79 and 51 of those 79 points were in three games (two of which we lost)

win over Chargers: 2-0
loss to Seahawks: 0-10
loss to Raiders: 7-11
win over Saints: 0-17
loss to Chiefs: 0-17
win over Rams: 6-10
win over Cardinals: 0-6
loss to Saints: 21-10
loss to Bucs: 0-3
loss to Falcons: 23-17
loss to Vikings: 0-6
win over 49ers: 17-15
loss to Broncos: 3-14

The funny, or not so funny part about this is you can all most feeling it coming, or not coming.

It seems to start in the 3rd quarter. If you are in the stands it feels like they are just in slow motion, no life to any of the plays.

 

This is at the behest of the Head Coach...IMO.

Ron would rather play risk averse football.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
