Last play of the game (not Panthers related per say)

You realize that "deep bomb" would be thrown under heavy pressure, correct?  And that it would 1. have to be outside the tackle box and 2. thrown pass the line of scrimmage or it would be intentional grounding, correct?

Now, I'm not sure if the game could end on an intentional grounding on 4th down or not.  That is a twist of the rules I've never thought about.

Rules are meant to broken, am I right?

Why didn't we just take a knee. Did Atlanta have a Timeout?

A knee would have left time on the clock and given Atlanta a last play on offense (because the clock stops on change of possession).

We ran the exact play we should have run and it was executed perfectly. WHY do anything else? I would rather give ATL the ball back where we had it than to start running it toward THEIR end zone. 

Only.improvement would be to roll out by design instead of keeping him in the pocket. Cam's heroics saved the sack.

If you run backwards, why not just fall on the ground and curl up waiting for someone to touch you or for the refs to blow the play dead

 

Because if something bad happens like a fumble, there is no one else back there to protect the ball carrier. The Panthers did the smartest thing. I'm not sure why this is even a discussion.

    All this is quite well and good. But....the play worked. atl did not get the ball back did they? No. No reason to find a better way, when the first way worked.

 

    And I am sorry for this. But really. People were worried about a Hail Mary from inside the 10? C'mon Man.

While doing anything like the OP suggested would be a stupid move I guess you forgot about the game Hadookie nakamura gave up.a bomb to atl with 30secs left and atl inside there on 20 driving to win the game.

shula wanted to move away from those i guess 

Always keeping the defense guessing isn't he?

Just when you think he WOULD actually want to run Stew up the middle for -1 he goes and flips the script on ya. GOAT

    Not even close to the same situation. If Cam were to take a knee. There would only be time for one more play. A Hail Mary from inside the 10? Not sure I am worried about that one.

 

    The ONLY thing I would have done differently today? I would have had Cam throw the ball as high as he could. By the time it came down, the game would have been over.

Um, isnt that what Cam did, he ran around until the clock wound down then threw it.
