The 4th down conversion that Cam ACHIEVED, I might add, the Panther's had 3 additional offensive possessions (not counting the final possession to run out the clock).

In those 3 offensive possessions, the Panther's offense ran 16 plays for 39 total yards.

In those 16 plays, 6 of those plays were 1st down plays.  

Of those 6 1st down plays, ALL of them were runs.

So, with almost 20 minutes left in the game and holding a 10 point lead, Rivera and Shula chose to SHUT IT DOWN.

Again.

Yeah it's garbage, let them play to the end,  put the killer instinct in there. You don't shut down to protect the little 10 point lead in the 3rd quarter,.. 

i swear even after Seattle almost caught up when we blew them out in the playoffs, blew them out only to go soft and let them almost catch up,... we still do it.

even at the very end,.. run the score up and break their spine,.. Pete Carroll would and that's why they go win superbowls,.. Belicheck would and that's why they keep doing it.

I'm one of the least emotionally demonstrative people that you'll ever meet, but when we needed to get a first down to help secure the game and the second down playcall was to run up the middle with Stewart, I pounded my fist on my coffee table and said something... impolite.

Thank God the defense stepped up.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`.

      Keeping it real about Bryce Young. Listen to those who actually watched film.

      Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something?

      At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
