No it’s not. The risk is the highest letting the other team get the ball first. They can still score a TD and end the game so it’s not all things equal. If they thought the other offense sucks and their defense can handle it, then it makes no difference if they start with the ball or not. You still take the ball. 

No more than one 10-minute period will follow a three-minute intermission. Each team must have the opportunity to possess the ball. The exception: if the team kicking off to start the overtime period scores a safety on the receiving team’s initial possession, in which case the team that kicked off is the winner.

With 6 games left consistency has left the building.   You simply have to bring in more competition n9 matter what he does to finish.  

Do you think they pick up his fifth year? 
 

I have no clue if they do, but I have accepted after this game, he will start all of next year regardless of the fifth being picked up or not.

That’s not how OT works anymore. TD doesn’t end it.

Unless he completely flamed out, he was always going to get next year.

Oh I didn’t see this changed. I’d still take the ball all things equal, putting pressure on your defense still seems like the riskier of the two options

Making a decision off a single game performance is like drafting a player strictly off a highlight reel. 

You do have to factor today in, but full season evaluation matters more. 

 I feel like it is best to remain detached on the issue for now and let it play out. 
 

There are a couple of suspect factors here, the odd circumstance of owning One team being a big one. He flat out owns them at this point. 
And if you go back and find his highlight games and then look at the games immediately after, they aren’t good. Like at all. That speaks to the consistency issue when you zoom out and get into the big picture.  
 

He did really well today. The team did really well too. He didn’t do this alone. But it was a great job.

Understood...

Taking the ball is still my preference, but yeah the changes make kicking first a valid option.

You want to know exactly what you need. Completely changes how you play a crucial 4th down

He didn't win alone.

His losses also weren't solely on him.

I'm still undecided.

It puts more pressure on the receiving team, if they don't score, we just need a FG to win, if they kick a FG, we can still win with a TD, it's simple. You just stuck in your ways like always

I wanted Stroud...

I'm not sold on Bryce as QB of the future...

But with all that in mind, this game is something you have to acknowledge. 

 

It almost seems like this team is bi-polar. We have a week where the effort is there and the team is focused. The next week it looks like they are walking through the motions. We will find out a lot in the next few weeks. I hope today’s win gives them some confidence.

      Panthers HC Dave Canales hints at adding more weapons for QB Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner.

      2025 Draft Re-Grades (Or, One Idiot Doubles Down)

      By Raskle · Posted

      How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.

      Who was the better HC - Rivera or McDermott?

      By Basbear · Posted

      I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
