If you run even one more play, then you have to rely on an onside kick recovery. Period. This strategy was the only way to avoid that. It's also why you have to kick it deep - out of the end zone preferably - instead of trying the onside there. You've got to leave some time for Green Bay to run one play before the 2:00 warning.

Actually makes sense to me. We needed the extra time out and our defense was playing lights out. Chances are Teddy Checkdown would have wasted 90 seconds or so before trying to kick the field goal making an onside kick and FG try unlikely. Rhule took the game out of Teddy's hand before he absolutely had to put it back into it.

In this case, we got to see the ideal outcome of that plan come out. Got the field goal. Touchback. 2 minute warning stopped the clock. Got the 3 and out. 

Unfortunately, we then got the holding call on the return and the biggest flaw in the plan; asking Teddy to drive down the field in crunch time. But that was to be expected. Given how the defense played the second half, I would say this had the better odds than having to rely on an onside kick.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
