Every Team has flaws, even when 14-0

[Doc Holiday]

And IMO our biggest flaw this season is not knowing how to play with a huge lead. 

Of our "close" games this year, only the Saints(2) and Seahawks have been traditional tough fought games.  The others have been cases of not knowing how to play with a huge lead.  And this is what reared it's head again today,  I'm not sure what you tell or have a team do in order for them to not get lackadaisical, and realize they still have a game to play. But the same thing has happened every time we get huge lead, and then we end up pissing it away in the 4th Q.

I would think this would not be a issue in the Playoffs and Super Bowl.  but honestly I think this teams biggest flaw is not knowing how to play with a huge lead.

There have only been like 3 or 4 14-0 teams

That's a pretty damn good problem to have, though! And hey, we're getting a lot of practice late in the season finding out what doesn't work.

Yeah we do seem to coast in games like these.  Troubling but at least we got the wins.  Like you said this isn't going to be a problem in the playoffs because I don't see us getting huge leads like this.  What troubles me is our special teams and how they perform when we have close games.

Our number 1 flaw is our FG team. This team has held on to big leads. bucs falcons redskins dallas and lost them too. packers, giants, colts

PATs were awful today.  Damn near every one was almost blocked.

I think if we get a big lead in the playoffs or superbowl, I honestly can not see us taking our foot off the gas after all these close games that we almost lost at the end.  It will be do or die by that time.  Going to have to keep our foot down on the throat the entire game.

We are the worst 14-0 in the league right now.

Slow down  Gunga-din..One game at a time!!! But I agree keep our foot on their throats a little morbid but no mercy!!

Im just glad the panthers only play at home the rest of the way.  I realize next week is technically at the georgia dome but i do expect it to be like a home game with 10s of thousands of panther fans and panthers chants etc.
