Couldn't, the 2 minute warning would have passed during our punt and we only had 2 TOs and not even Rivera is that big of a retard. We also have Norv to tell him this on the headsets just in case.

I agree.  I think if that 4th down had been 10 seconds earlier, he may have punted because the 2 minute warning and 2 timeouts would have been better if they got the 3&out.  

My thinking in either case is that whether you punt or fail on 4th down, you need a 3&out to have a chance and you may give them a fg if you fail on 4th down and then stop them but that would still be a one possession game.  Thus, I liked going for it.

Yeah, punting there would've effectively lost you the game. Best case scenario you're forcing them to punt back to you with about 30 seconds or so and no timeouts.

I was just watching on ESPN gamecast and it said we were on the PHI 31, not CAR 31 so I thought for sure we'd kick a field goal.

Thought I was the only one. I saw smith catch it on fourth down and was like “wait I thought we were there already”

not a single staff member of any NFL team would have elected to punt there. I really hope there isnt a single person on this forum that thinks we would have punted. Thats just ignorance.

Ron has punted in some  smh situations.  It has been clear from day one, he trusts his defense more than his offense.  I agree to punt there would make no sense.

The announcers clearly didn't understand the two minute warning would have took place right after the punt. There's no way Rivera ever even considered punting. 

Announcers asside, Ron has punted in some head shaking situations.  This of course, would have been one of the dumbest.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
