3rd Down conversions 2/13

[ladypanther]

When has that stat not been an issue for the Panthers? But for the life of me, I cannot understand how the Panthers can play one of the worst run defenses in the league and be so bad on 3rd down.

:confused:

Personally, I am still trying to figure out how we gained 400+ yards. That was the weakest 400 yards ever. Of course 390 of them were between the 20s.

yep we have been around the bottom of the league in 3rd down converstion for while..

Thats easy to explain. Butter finger WR/TE's and bad/inconsistent QB play. Oh and stupid penalties. How many times do our receivers drop the ball right when we need them to catch it? That sh1t happens every game. How many times does Jake not see open targets? How many bullshit false start penalty's have killed our drives?

We had a better 3rd down percentage last year because the run game was nuts and we were one of the least penalized teams last year. And even then we were still not good enough on 3rd down.

All of those points are true but we also tend to role over and piss ourselves on 3rd down and run a draw play.

Right. And we do that because of said bullshit false starts/dropped passes/and bad QB reads.

One of our two 3rd down conversions today WAS via a draw play.
