Well that was a dud of a red zone trip.  DC is not a good play caller.

I mean his 3rd down call had XL wide open in the end zone…

Coaching matters

[frankw]

Field goals already oof.

[Icege]

Ugh... if not for that immediate pressure XL would've been an easy TD.

Great drive though overall with establishing the run. I understand taking the points and forcing Dallas to throw it with CeeDee + Turpin both out.

Good drive, killed once Bryce tries to pass. Bust is the weak link. 

It was the right play call, XL was wide open. Just didn’t hold up long enough to get it there

Putting the ball in the hands of Bryce costs the Panthers again. Top 10 run blocking OL. Use it o. The red zone is not a place to use the weakest part of the offense (QB)

[CarolinaRideorDie]

Rico!! Tell Canales how to use you!! What's all that talk about the couches needing to listen to players? 

 

[GoobyPls]

Good first drive

Exactly right

all by himself 

waving 

it was a great play call. Qb did not get it done and that’s a fact

[ncstatekwi]

Why not leave Rico in?!?!

[Castavar]

It's all about football awareness. You are POUNDING them on the ground, they literally have no answer. Then you take out Dowdle, run a soft ass PA rollout to Bryce's left, and then put in Deejay sorry ass Dallas over Etienne to run up the gut on 3rd and 2. Canales aint it

Just two brutal back to back calls by Canales

No reason to stop feeding Rico

Canales isnt it 

I don’t disagree, but I feel like a bigger issue is Bryce missing the gimmes.  It happens every week.  We miss an easy pass and then it snowballs.

Yep, but I was bashed for calling that out last week just because we had a 200 yard rusher and won the game in spite of his play calling.

I was okay with T-Mac not getting targeted on that drive as he had the cowboys on their heels.  But then to get that close to the red zone and have those last 2 play calls which were terrible instead of at least just throwing him a jump ball, just ridiculous

How do we have a red zone weapon like T-Mac but continue to flat out REFUSE to look his way once we get into the red zone?!?!?!

If you're going to call red zone passing plays, it's usually a good idea to target your 6'5" #1 WR
