The Gambling man and doubling down

[Snake]

If you have even visited a gambling table much you will eventually understand every gambler looses. Lady luck is a fickle mistress who makes you feel on top of the world or crushed under it.

This is exactly how the Carolina Panthers have operated for more than a year. We have bet the farm that our defense and offensive would hit the jackpot at the right time in the game without any adjustments. Well the devil took his due in the Super Bowl and now we are doubling down. A dangerous trend is happening and as Kenny Rodgers said "you need to know when to fold them" and walk away.

No longer can we keep expecting the big play. It's time to play small ball and get ahead of the count. We have a team that can get a lead and that's important. After that we need to adjust and keep that lead. We need to stop looking for more jackpots because they are just a mirage. Let KB and Funch eat up space in the middle. Let Tolbert, Fozzy, and Cap get you 5 on a screen. Cam if it's not there tuck the ball and get 3. So long as you are moving forward your not moving back. When you gamble you always lose eventually so we need to play smart and sound from now on.
