Panthers record when scoring first since 2011. SPOILER: The Panthers are really bad playing from behind

Even though we are average when trailing, it doesn't help that we still try ball/clock control when we're down by 14.

Yea remember the 2013 49ers playoff game? Had like an 8 minute drive in the 3rd quarter then had to punt. Basically handed the game to them. And people were pissed about the refs...

And that is exactly why it is crucial the offense gets the lead going into the half and the defense does not give up a lead in the 2nd half.

Since 2011, the Panthers have led after the 1st half in 51 of 87 games.

• 22-3 in games leading by more than a TD at the half. (18-0 from 2012 to 2015)
• 35-10 in games leading by more than a FG at the half.
• 38-13 in games with any lead at the half.
• 9-22-1 in games trailing at the half.

The Patriots, Seahawks, and Broncos are the only teams over that period that have a .400+ record when trailing at the half. The Patriots are the only team with a winning record when trailing at the half (11-9).

That is why the loses with the Panthers defense giving up leads in the 2nd half to the Broncos and Vikings were so painful - especially the 10 point lead going into the 4th quarter of the Broncos game.

Exactly. I can usually tell if the Panthers are going to win or lose by halftime. The Broncos game really surprised me, and kind of showed everyone what kind of season we were in for. The Vikings game, I knew it was over when they gave up the safety. That was pitiful. Even though they were leading at halftime 10-8 I still knew they would lose the game.
