When was the last time this team actually tried to score before the half?

What a fuging breath of fresh air. How many times did Ron Rivera kneel out the first half with all 3 timeout remaining? This team had the lead and still decided to drive down the field and get a touchdown. That was unheard of in the past decade of Panthers football.

May have been my favorite part of the entire game.

It may have been a first in franchise history lol. Was great to see!

I started to have flashbacks of Rivera standing there with all 3 timeouts watching the offense run it up the gut 3 times in a row. 

I can't remember the year but it was at home against the saints. We run it 3 times and punted it back with all 3 timeouts left and the Saints got it back with like 40 seconds and drove down and got a FG.

Rivera really was the worst

    • While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
