Discouraging Stat: Cam/Rivera 0-26 when trailing by 3+ in 4th Q

[UNCrules2187]

Carolina had a shot, but needed to do something the team has yet to accomplish in the Cam Newton-Ron Rivera era since 2011. The Panthers are 0-26 when trailing by more than three points in the fourth quarter.

That's...pretty insane.

Not surprising when you only score TDs on 7+ minute drives. Pick up the tempo with a new OC.

yeah, but how many 3pt comebacks have Cam and Rivera had?

 

They, Rivera and Cam, have had 3pt or less 4th qtr Combacks against:

Jags - 2011

Saints - 2012

Eagles - 2012

Patriots - 2013

Miami - 2013

Saints - 2013

Falcons - 2013

Bears - 2014

Browns - 2014

The ones less than 3 are not very impressive. You only need a long fg...

[Cary Kollins]

Will someone run the math on how many times Cam and Co. have come back from +3 in the 4th only to have the defense blow it or the kicker miss the FG?

You say that like Carolina has had reliable kickers throughout Cam's and Rivera's tenure.

[KendrickPanther]

It has a ton to do with our playstyle. In the past two years we haven't been down by more than three that many times. When we were it was usually complete blowouts. It's a pretty specific stat when you think about it. 16 games a year, you have to be losing by more than 3 but not completely blow out. How many chances did we have?

[Cary Kollins]

Ah screw it, this 0-26 stat probably has to do with Cam being a pouty crybaby unlike say Andrew Luck, who can will a team to a win just by clinching his butt really hard and concentrating.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

What's even more mundane, we have never won a single game under Cam/Rivera when trailing at the end of the 4th.

We have come back and taken leads only to lose them at the end.

Well..  to be honest,  some of those games were over at halftime.  Can't be down by 2 or 3 scores going into the half...and hope to catch up,  with our 8 minute long drives that kill the clock.. finally score a TD,  kick the ball back to the other team........and then watch them drive down the field in 2 minutes to score again.    Rinse,  repeat for another of our 8 minute drives.

 

We aren't built to be a quick strike offense.    We're built to kill the clock and pray to god our defense doesn't let the other team score.          You'd think with our defense hemorraging points for 3 out of the last 4 years,  that the Panthers would say screw it,  lets build around pushing the ball down the field quickly.
