we shut them out in the first quarter while scoring 6. good drives we could have easily put up 14.  3rd qtr held them to 3 points. matched them in the 4th with 7 points. we won the time of possession battle which was a surprise. They just blazed us in the second qtr.

 

I dont feel so bad now knowing 1 qtr of football is all that keep us from beating them 

 

flame away.

-they only ran 3 plays in the 1st quarter

-they took their foot off the gas midway through the 3rd

-we "matched" a team that was hardly trying at that point

there is a reason they only ran 3 plays .......it was called the carolina panthers 

 

nobody takes their foot off the gas

 

hardly trying? get real bro.

-The reason they ran only 3 plays? We got ball first and converted 3rd downs. We forced one 3-and-out. We no where near "matched them". And the number of plays run in a quarter has nothing to do with that

- ya nobody takes their foot off the gas. Everyone knows no teams take it easy with a big lead to avoid injury. Thats why we put derek anderson in at QB late in the 4th a lot of times right? Cuz we just want to score so bad and we know that NO ONE gives us a better chance then Derek right?

Scoring touchdowns instead of field goals alone on those first two drives would have given us substantial momentum, which is invaluable on the road. Combine it with us shutting down Brees and their offense, it would have changed the entire tone of the game early on.

 

Why we decided to settle for field goals early two drives in a row on the road against the Saints, knowing that they get the ball back after halftime, is absolutely beyond me. Ron returned to his conservative mindset last night, and surprise surprise, it cost us the game.

 

Rivera has got to get back to what put us in that win streak, and in a damn hurry.

The Panthers got steamrolled in the 2nd QTR, just like it what happened to the Saints not 6 days prior. And couldn't recover....and neither did the Saints when they were on the road.

 

Won't look at the ALL-22 til later this week, but I'm curious on why the Panther RedZone D was so bad in the 2nd QTR.

so the carolina panthers did not force a 3 and out and sustain two long drives????

 

no way they let up in the 3rd qtr thats too early. maybe with 8 minutes to go in the game they might let up or get conservative

The short answer is, field goals don't cut it. If we score two and go up 14, that long Sproles run never happens because they don't run very often and can't really run when down by 14. If we kept up the long-drive, ball-control offense but actually scored, this could have been a win, but you can't win when your defense gets no pressure on Brees and your DBs allow WRs to be wide open.

      D and D is the answer.

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
