the play that killed the panthers...

I was happy to see them targeting Rosario a bit more yesterday, but really disappointed when he dropped that ball. That's why I said in another thread that I actually thought the playcalling, for the most part, was okay yesterday -- there was just a lot of bad execution. Sometimes it was Moore's fault, sometimes it wasn't.

Oh well. I do think Clausen goes through his reads and finds short yardage when we need it.

30ish yard pass from moore to a wide-open rosario. rosario lets it slip out of his hands and he stumbles into the endzone, blowing what would've been a game-tying touchdown.

all the energy went out of the panthers' offense after that play. gamechanger IMO

I agree. If Rosario hangs on to that ball Matt's a hero and permanent starter.

Matt's individual performance was really not as bad as the team's overall performance made me him look. But still, Clausen seemed to be able to do more with the team that we do have than Matt did.

There were ALOT of plays the killed the Panthers. I would add to the top of the list the 3rd and long when they D-line actually got some pressure, two guys missed Freeman while he scrabled to the right, then he tossed a bomb down the field to hit a wide open Winslow. That played followed by a pass up the middle, several missed tackles and a TD. Result 14-7 Bucs, and if I am not mistaken that drived was the one right after Smitty's TD.

I also think to the overthow to Gettis on the deep pass was a bigger blow to the Panthers than the Rosario one.

I can go on and on of all the plays that were killers yesterday. This team is just not good and we have a lame duck coach.

If only it was just one play...

offense had problems, but they were moving the ball pretty well before that. the previous drive started from the panthers 12 anything before the 20 and the panthers are notorious for punting out of the endzone) and ended in gutsy fourth-down steve smith TD.

the drive that ended in rosario's drop was a similar display... and that offense never came out on the field again. (goodson catching quickie screens against a prevent defense with 2:30 on the clock doesn't count.)

Another BS call was the RTP penalty called against Greg Hardy. He was moving past the defender who did a move (I won't call it a push as much as a juke maybe) that led Hardy right into Freeman. That one was also on 3rd which would have caused a long FG try instead of the touchdown they got afterwards.

IMO, the play that killed Carolina was the 3rd and long by Tampa where Johnson almost sacked Tampa and then Norwood completed choked on an a very easy sack to kill the drive....result was a huge play and that single play started Tampa's roll.

    • After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.
    • The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.
    • I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
