Red Zone T-Mac Targets?!?!

Cool, we scored another TD, but I'm starting to get soooooooooooooo pissed off that we just flat out refuse to target T-Mac in the red zone, particularly when he keeps getting single covered.

It makes no fuging sense to me, he's our best red zone option and I think he has 1 target from inside the 10 yard line in the first 3 weeks despite us taking probably 15+ snaps in those situations already, with a good amount of him getting single coverage on them.

Call a fuging audible, throw the ball up to him, what are we even doing?!?!?!?!

It's okay, we've destroyed a team and played extremely well on defense. 

Soak in this feeling -- winning a game due to defense just completely shutting the other guy out.  

Totally get it, and if we've only had a small handful of opportunities this year to do it, I wouldn't be so frustrated.

But I'm guessing we've taken at least 15 snaps from inside the 10 already this year, at least half of them T-Mac has been single covered, and the only time we've even looked his way, Bryce threw a god awful pass that he never had a chance to catch.

We aren't used to winning. We must find things to be upset about

Was upset about this last week when he kept getting single covered down there and we never looked his way besides the one terrible Bryce throw.

If there was a single thing T-Mac is best at, it's red zone jump balls when covered 1 on 1 from inside the 10.

We've probably had at least 5-7 snaps where we had the opportunity to call an audible and throw that pass and we haven't taken it one time.

I just don't get it.  

Great win, but this is getting frustrating to not see them even attempt to use our best red zone weapon through 3 weeks (and I swear, this is only 2% motivated by my Fantasy team wanting a T-Mac TD already)

He must be on your fantasy team

Of course he is lol, and it's great to get a big win, so it's not like it cost us the game.

But I just flat out understand how we can have a weapon like him and just flat out have refused to throw him a single end zone jump ball yet given how many snaps we've had in the situations where it was possible.

That so far through 3 weeks teams keep leaving him out there on an island, is just a bad look on the coaching staff to not even attempt that pass a single time.  

You have to punish teams for doing that, even if it ends up an incompletion, you have to put it on tape to make future opponents plan for it and start sending a 2nd player out there, which in turn will open up more options for other guys.

oh, just STFU......  there will be times that he will be needed for TDs and wins.... today we did it with a running game and a "pretty good" defense.  Complaining about the fact that your pet did not have a major part in the score line while winning 30-0 is pathetic

This reeks of 2015 and defending Rivera’s constant screw ups just because we were winning.  We were great that year in spite of Rivera, not because of him.

I’m not complaining about T-Mac not scoring, I’m questioning why we have had numerous chances to throw it up to our best red zone weapon through 3 weeks and haven’t taken that chance one time.

Winning games, even a blowout, doesn’t mean you can’t question the legitimate questionable decisions by the coaching staff.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      They don’t watch film. They don’t know what they are looking at if they do. Half of this MF pedestrian 561 yards came off wheel routes out of the backfield.

      We have a great, Id say even perfect example of drafting OT on a team with Walker....plus Ill just toss in the solid respected vet Motown too.   Green Bay used a 1st rounder to draft Jordan Morgan with the plan he's the LT. Short this story- Walker beat him badly, so bad they switched positions to OG cause using that 1st is too pricey to sit. That was in 2024, come 2025 in steps a new fresh hope for LT 2nd rounder Anthony Belton..... Another 1st TKO by Walker and the same "ooo my god try him at OG to save face"... Walker clear winner both times.  I think even if the Panthers had first pick of OT, that guy is not unseating Walker or Motown.  Now to talk out of both sides, Id still say using the 1st on OT is a wise move.......but if you believe panthers are in win-now mode and worry about 2027 in 2027 and factor in Walker beating any and all young pups..... the thing is, if this goes well enough...... Walker will want to re-sign here and he's still young for a LT...plus my god LT are the hardest spot to fill. Then Ickey makes a full recovery(just go along for now)...now you have 32 Motown, Icky back on a cheaper RT deal, and a happy LT Walker.  Just making a case and filling in some history, now I still want to draft OT, just maybe not as hot to use the 1st with landing Walker..... I mean isnt using the 4th or one of the 5th better and smarter to develop a OT rather than 1st where you need to score TDs or stop them? But Im with you tho....AND I understand what I feel the panthers will do.

      I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built.
