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.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
