Just listened to Ron's presser, and he was asked what his thinking was during the last couple minutes of the 1st half... he said that his philosophy in running a 2 min drill from your 20 yd line is that you do not call timeouts until you get close to the 50.... said you don't want to leave time on the clock for the opposition....

Yeah, I heard it at the time. What he didn't address is that teams run the hurry up offense until they need to use a timeout. We didn't. We operated with no sense of urgency whatsoever.

I'm sorry Ron. In my book, you wussed out. You were afraid we'd make a mistake, so you didn't go for it. Maybe we get 7 points there and easily win. Maybe we get 3 and squeak out a close one. Maybe we throw a pick 6 and lose the game. So what? We lost anyway.

Even after you said all of that... There were 11 players on the field (all vets) (2 Team Captains) that failed to call a timeout as well.

Chalk it up to a learning experience that will NEVER be forgotten

In theory, it would have worked. However, no sense of urgency. We wasted 10 seconds between plays at one point. You take one when you have 3. After that, then you wait till you break the 50. Ideally, it takes no more than 2 plays to go from the 20 to the 50. We didn't do that. We have to burn a timeout there. That would have bought us enough time to draw something up and get a big chunk play. What the actual fug were we thinking there?

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
