Do the Panthers practice the 2 minute drive?


Jangler

Recommended Posts

Or do they just make it up as they go?

2Q 1:39 79 yards No time outs.

9 yard pass to Williams

10 yard pass to Williams

6 yard pass to Muhammad

4 yard pass to Smith

spike

29 yards in 1:28

11 seconds to go...

6 yard pass Stewart and the first time out of bounds

35 yards in 1:34 but still 45 yards to the endzone or just 10 yards short of a FG attempt.

Hail mary and no TD.

Was playing the sidelines just to obvious?

Even Williams didn't go out of bounds.

To be honest, I think it had more to do with them not trying to save time and instead just seeing if they could break out on a play and score. So I guess the real problem is that they need to try to get at least something instead of settling for all or nothing.

Right, that was my point. I know we won the game so it doesn't really matter. But against a better team an extra FG might have been enough. 45 yards was all we really needed. The whole drive was just stupid and it wasn't the first time they have had poor clock management.

I want to know why with no time remaining didn't they let Lloyd have some fun and see if he can boot a long one (he doesn't have to make it really). We will never know if he can really hit those long ones till we let him try in-game.

"...and the Panthers go for a 75-yarder! ...It's up... it's going long! OH MY GOD HE MADE IT!"

My bad. I changed my reply without re-reading the original post and ended up missing your point.

And yeah, it's not the first time I've had to watch the clock expire because they've made no attempt to get out of bounds. But, then again, if they did do as you suggest and ended up with nothing, would you say it was too conservative (not necessarily "you" but anyone).

Man do you know how much relief that would be if he could kick 60 yarders consistently. Our offense could get away with moving the ball 6-8 yards from their own 40 yard line in three tries and not have to punt or fake a 4th down attempt. :lol:

I though it was more around 62 yards. Thats more in the realm of possibility.

He could serve two incredibly important ST functions. Scoring from long distance and knocking the piss out of it on KO.

A kick that long might have a lower trajectory, which makes it easier to block, and if its blocked, it can be returned.

I strive for the impossible, my friend. :cool:

Don't use your logic to rain on our party!

Oh lets see a struggling O on a 0-3 team. I think that sounds like the perfect time for a like motivation. If he hits a 62 yarder to end half time that locker room would be insane you would have these guys more pumped up then they have been all season. Its worth the chance IMO. But I also would have gone for it on that 4th. Im not at all conservative.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
