The luckiest win in Panthers history?

#1) Austin Sefarian-Jenkins drops a wide open TD pass in the 1st quarter.

#2) Jonathan Stewart near fumble in the 1st quarter miraculously recovered by the Panthers

#3) Austin Sefarian-Jenkins TD inexplicably called back in the 4th quarter (is this guy cursed or what?)

#4) Offsides penalty on the Jets on 4th down to gift the Panthers a first down in the 4th quarter

#5) Roughing the passer called on 3rd down late in the 4th quarter

#6) Countless near-blocked punts

I can't think of a game where the ball bounced the Panthers way more often. If you older Panthers fans can show me another example, I'd like to hear it. As far as I see it, this has to be one of the luckiest wins in team history. It's better to be lucky than good, every time.

Good teams learn how to win during turmoil, Look at Patriots and Seattle 

I mean this makes two games an opposing team has dropped a wide open TD that would have probably ended up losing the game for the Panthers should it have gone the other way. I don't know what voodoo football magic goes on in the netherworld but the Panthers seem to be on the winning side of these things this season. Last year, everything would have gone against them. Next season, I bet it turns around again. This is not a good team this year. This is a lucky team. I'm not complaining, it's just fascinating.

On that play....his second foot didn't hit inbounds before his shoulder hit out of bounds.

Hip is the same as 2 feet.

That second ASJ catch was a TD...I mean yea it moved but barely 

The ball moved while he was going to the ground.  while he was out of bounds.

Yea it was weak...it doesn't pass the eye ball test at all.

I watched it several times slow motion.  At one time while he was out of bounds neither hand had control of the ball.  If it was just one.. yeah but both hands didn't have control.

Yup we were gift wrapped this game.    To be fair, it hardly happens like that for us, but this time, it definitely happened.

It's about fuggin time some questionable calls go our way. We've been on the short end of that equation for a long time. It may have been ugly and pure dumb luck, but I'll take the W.

Honestly it was like the twilight zone.  Balls don't usually bounce our way like that.  Pause. 

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't pleasurable to see the pendulum swing our way for once but we were lucky to make it out of that one, especially with the ASJ reversal and the mind bogglingly dumb RTP penalty.

      Damn, am I really going to watch Steeler-Bengals on Amazon in a few minutes? Unfortunately, yes, at least for a little bit.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      That falls entirely into the chicken-and-egg of why is he not attempting those throws more frequently: is it because he can't make those throws, or because he isn't asked to make those throws? If the latter, is he  not being asked to make those throws because the coaching staff doesn't believe he can be successful with them, or because they don't believe those types of throws fit their scheme anyways? We can eliminate option A because he clearly can physically push the ball 40+ yards, successfully or not, or there would be zero attempts of that nature. We have no way of determining which of the two factors are the reason for option B because we don't know what the coaching staff's ultimate assessment of both his abilities and of their own conviction about the value of those throws irregardless of player would be. Again, you will be hard-pressed to find many coaches that will value a play that has an 83% or higher failure rate just to "keep the defense honest" when they have more valuable and consistent options at their disposal. But the core of my argument is that it's not like it's an impossibility for Bryce to push the ball downfield, it's simply that it's not the amazing cure-all that some seem to imagine it to be even for elite QBs.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      His ceiling is Alex Smith tier. Not the worst thing to have, but if you have the opportunity to shoot for a Patrick Mahomes you take it.
