horrible 2nd half coaching....again

[CRA]

huge plays by Marshall and Stewart mask what Fox and company did in the ball game today. They did everything they could to let Atlanta have a chance today to grab a win.

[Davidson Deac II]

We have to face reality. Davidson and Fox are not going to put the game in Jake's hands right now, they are not going to be throwing much when we have a decent sized lead in the second half. And honestly, thats an understandable strategy.

Again we had another lead and was content with "sitting" on it again...blew another 10+ point lead.

while I agree, I think this game was much less a case of that than the Saints game, because Atlanta was eating our defensive alone on very very long drives, which gave us little time to really work our offense.

[KillerKat]

Davidson called another great game today. It was the run defense that almost gave up the win.

Yeah the coaching was terrible in the second half. We seem to game plan pretty well during the week, but we don't have the ability to make adjustments on the fly.

We got really lucky Turner went down in the first half, he'd have hit 200 today with the way our D was playing.

Just stop ffs. They could have gone out and gone pass happy in the 2nd have and someone would be bitching about it. Atlanta stepped it up and we were able to hang on. At no point was the coaching staff 'sitting' on the lead, if anything blame the defense for not getting off the field.

What the joker said.

I was getting pretty pissed before j-stew broke that big run. He saved the game on that one.

we actually played about the same in the second half but atlanta made adjustments to stop it.

that's the problem, they played the same. they always do that. the panthers never make any good second half adjustments ever, while the opposing team comes out the second half guns blazing and everything. they sit on their laurels and try and ride it out.

it was pathetic in the 2nd half. Davidson runs the same plays w/ the same obvious audibles...that is another big reason the Panther do nothing in the 2nd half of games. Teams know exactly what is going on.

Agreed. The play calling was essentially the same. I mean on 1st and 10 we threw the ball 3 straight plays. Granted that was a stupid time to start throwing after we had been running so well, but I hardly call that sitting on a lead. Atlanta made adjustments, and we hung onto the lead. I'm more upset with the execution in the 2nd half.

I don't agree today. We made some adjustments defensively in the fourth quarter, and started blitzing more. While we didn't get a lot of pressure on Ryan, we got enough to get him out of rhythm a bit.

Attempting 3 straight passing plays after another first down in a third quarter drive, is calling a great game? Get off his nut sack.
